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 360 x 44,0 steel profile weighs 44.0 kg/m (29.57 lb/ft), has a depth of 352 mm (13.86 in), flange width 171 mm (6.73 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,768.771 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 12,256.933 cm⁴, Iy = 818.138 cm⁴.
