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 1551x360x9.5x25.4 steel profile weighs 255.4 kg/m (171.66 lb/ft), has a depth of 1551 mm (61.06 in), flange width 360 mm (14.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 32,539.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,331,505.302 cm⁴, Iy = 19,761.759 cm⁴.
