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 1851x360x9.5x25.4 steel profile weighs 277.8 kg/m (186.69 lb/ft), has a depth of 1851 mm (72.87 in), flange width 360 mm (14.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 35,389.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,985,715.422 cm⁴, Iy = 19,763.902 cm⁴.
