Gerdau · Wide Flange (I-beam)
Wide flange beams (W shapes / I-beams) are the most common structural steel profile used in building construction. They are used for beams, columns, and girders in steel-framed buildings and bridges. Designed per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, and NBR 8800.
The W 200 x 26,6 steel profile weighs 26.6 kg/m (17.88 lb/ft), has a depth of 207 mm (8.15 in), flange width 133 mm (5.24 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,423.401 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,611.169 cm⁴, Iy = 329.935 cm⁴.
