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.
The I 1264x360x12.7x31.8 steel profile weighs 299.4 kg/m (201.20 lb/ft), has a depth of 1264 mm (49.76 in), flange width 360 mm (14.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 38,141.08 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,052,340.445 cm⁴, Iy = 24,748.171 cm⁴.
