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 800x300x20x30 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.
