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 250 x 115,0 steel profile weighs 115.0 kg/m (77.28 lb/ft), has a depth of 269 mm (10.59 in), flange width 259 mm (10.20 in). Cross-sectional area: 14,606.211 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 18,919.83 cm⁴, Iy = 6,405.187 cm⁴.
