NBE EA-95, hot-rolled 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 W 320 x 126,6 steel profile weighs 126.6 kg/m (85.09 lb/ft), has a depth of 320 mm (12.60 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,994.779 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 30,733.052 cm⁴, Iy = 9,238.019 cm⁴.
