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 469x150x9.5x9.5 steel profile weighs 56.0 kg/m (37.61 lb/ft), has a depth of 469 mm (18.46 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,125 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 22,259.949 cm⁴, Iy = 537.59 cm⁴.
