W 360 x 72,0 Gerdau · Weight & Dimensions

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.

Also known as: IPR 360 x 72,0 (México) · Doble T 360 x 72,0 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 350 (UK / Australia)

The W 360 x 72,0 steel profile weighs 72.0 kg/m (48.38 lb/ft), has a depth of 350 mm (13.78 in), flange width 204 mm (8.03 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,130.832 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 20,167.481 cm⁴, Iy = 2,139.821 cm⁴.
