IMCA, 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 1244x300x12.7x22.2 IMCA 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 1244x300x12.7x22.2 steel profile weighs 224.2 kg/m (150.66 lb/ft), has a depth of 1244 mm (48.98 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 28,554.92 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 679,852.701 cm⁴, Iy = 10,010.477 cm⁴.
