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 800x240x12.5x25 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 800x240x12.5x25 steel profile weighs 167.8 kg/m (112.75 lb/ft), has a depth of 800 mm (31.50 in), flange width 240 mm (9.45 in). Cross-sectional area: 21,375 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 224,195.313 cm⁴, Iy = 5,772.207 cm⁴.
