IAS, welded sections · 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.
Put the I 180x180x8x12.5 IAS in a real structure
Opens in the 3D editor already set up as a beam, with supports and load. Change the span and the load, then check it against the code.
The I 180x180x8x12.5 steel profile weighs 45.1 kg/m (30.28 lb/ft), has a depth of 180 mm (7.09 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,740 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,410.446 cm⁴, Iy = 1,215.661 cm⁴.
