Profile overview for HEB 220

The HEB 220 is a structural steel cross-section utilized in commercial construction, industrial framing, and mechanical engineering. Manufactured as a hot rolled section, it complies with EN 10365 dimensional standards, ensuring predictability in detailing and fabrication.Access to its exact geometric and statical properties is essential for 3D modeling and structural verification.

Geometry: This open profile features a total depth (h) of 220 mm and a flange width (b) of 220 mm, supported by a 9.5 mm thick web and 16 mm thick flanges. With a cross-sectional area of 9100 mm² and a linear mass of 71.5 kg/m, the HEB 220 offers a distinct stiffness-to-weight ratio for both column (axial) and beam applications.

Section properties: For design of bending, the major and minor axis properties dictate the member's structural capacity. The strong-axis moment of inertia (Iy) of 80900000 mm⁴ governs major deflection and serviceability limits. To calculate the ultimate bending resistance, engineers may utilize the strong-axis plastic section modulus of 827000 mm³. For lateral stability and column buckling verifications, the weak-axis moment of inertia (Iz) provides 28430000 mm⁴ of lateral stiffness.

Advanced analysis: For complex load cases, the HEB 220 provides a y-axis shear area (at strong bending axis) of 7040 mm² for web shear verification and a torsion constant of 770200 mm⁴ for calculating rotational twist under eccentric loading. Additionally, a warping constant of 295400000000 mm⁶ is available for rigorous lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) checks.
