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.
The I 310x165x8x9.5 steel profile weighs 42.9 kg/m (28.82 lb/ft), has a depth of 310 mm (12.20 in), flange width 165 mm (6.50 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,463 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,722.451 cm⁴, Iy = 712.495 cm⁴.
