289 AISC v16.0 records

AISC Wide-flange (W) shapes.

A W-shape is a hot-rolled, doubly symmetric wide-flange section commonly used for beams and columns. Its relatively wide flanges and web distribute material efficiently for many bending and axial-force applications.

Common context

Common project roles include floor beams, roof beams, girders, columns, transfer members, and parts of braced or moment frames.

Detailing watch

Confirm orientation, camber, flange and web connection access, unbraced length assumptions, copes, stiffeners, and the exact grade and availability required by the project.

How to read the W records

Read W followed by depth series and nominal weight per foot. Compare actual d and bf before carrying a beam designation into a connection or clearance check.

Use ddet, bfdet and the detailing thickness fields when that convention is required. They are separate database fields, not a reason to replace the published section-property dimensions.

This dataset contains 289 W records, with nominal weights from 8.5 to 925 lb/ft and listed depth values from 4.16 to 44.8 in. These ranges describe the published records, not current supplier inventory or a selection recommendation.

Start with the exact designation, open its full record, then compare only the dimensions and properties relevant to your task. For example, W14X90 lists 90 lb/ft, 26.5 in² area, Ix = 999 in⁴ and Iy = 362 in⁴. The x and y labels retain the database axes; their values do not establish allowable loads.

The AISC v16.0 workbook Readme defines the variables and shape figures. This directory uses the US customary record; the comparison tool converts displayed units. Check the required edition and product specification before transferring data.

Worked quantity example

Nominal weight for W14X90

Assume 3 pieces, each 20 ft (6.096 m) long. This is a hypothetical quantity example, not a stock-length or lifting recommendation.

Using the published 90 lb/ft weight
Quantity	Calculation	Nominal pounds	Kilogram equivalent
One 20 ft piece	20 ft × 90 lb/ft	1,800 lb	816.466 kg
3 pieces	3 × 1,800 lb	5,400 lb	2,449.399 kg

Conversion: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg; displayed results are rounded. This multiplication excludes connection plates, bolts, weld metal, coatings, cutting allowances and actual material variation. Use the material takeoff for your own lengths and quantities.
