Heavy-Weight Beam (ISHB) · IS 808 · India
ISHB 225 is an Indian heavy-weight beam 225.0 mm deep with a 225.0 mm wide flange, weighing 43.1 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published IS 808 values; the drawing is generated from them.
ISHB heavy beams double as columns in Indian practice — wider flanges than the ISMB series at similar depths.

Derived section properties
Integrated from the section's own outline including the root and toe radii, whose arcs are integrated analytically rather than approximated by facets. For ISHB 225 the computed area agrees with the published value to 0.01% and Ix to 0.35%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zex | 469,441 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zey | 122,345 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zpx | 515,521 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zpy | 202,390 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 98.1 mm |
