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 469x150x6.4x9.5 steel profile weighs 45.0 kg/m (30.23 lb/ft), has a depth of 469 mm (18.46 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,730 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 19,905.886 cm⁴, Iy = 535.358 cm⁴.
