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 1544x300x9.5x22.2 steel profile weighs 216.4 kg/m (145.43 lb/ft), has a depth of 1544 mm (60.79 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 27,566.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,038,214.967 cm⁴, Iy = 10,000.714 cm⁴.
