SAISC, 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 545 x 122,5 steel profile weighs 122.5 kg/m (82.29 lb/ft), has a depth of 544.6 mm (21.44 in), flange width 211.9 mm (8.34 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,590.993 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 76,179.924 cm⁴, Iy = 3,387.734 cm⁴.
