The W10x39 is a wide-flange structural steel shape identified by its nominal designation. This reference provides the source dimensions, section area, unit weight, and related profile information for use in preliminary research, detailing, and drafting workflows.
Use the technical values below as the controlling local reference for this page. For broader comparison, see related W-shape references and guidance on interpreting steel section properties.
W Beam
refer to : AISC 16
the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-16), which is the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. It provides guidelines and requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States.

Unit Weight : 58.2 kg/m
How to read the W10x39 reference
The listed dimensions describe the overall depth and flange width, together with the web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. These features help identify the cross-sectional geometry shown in drawings and distinguish this shape from other W-shape designations.
Sectional area describes the amount of steel in the cross section. It is commonly used with material density and length information when estimating member mass and with engineering calculations that depend on the gross cross-sectional area.
Unit weight expresses the listed mass per unit length. It is useful for material takeoffs, shipping or handling estimates, and general drafting coordination. Confirm project-specific material, coating, fabrication, and connection requirements before using a published shape value for procurement or design.
AISC reference context
This page identifies the AISC specification context supplied with the source content. AISC references help engineers and detailers coordinate terminology and design information, but the shape data on this page should not be treated as a complete member-design check. Design decisions also depend on the loading, support conditions, unbraced length, connections, material specification, and governing project requirements.
DWG download and drafting use
The linked DWG file can support CAD layout, preliminary detailing, and coordination. Review the downloaded geometry against the project’s required representation and confirm that connection details, copes, holes, welds, and fabrication allowances are developed separately where applicable.
Frequently asked questions
What does the W in W10x39 mean?
W identifies a wide-flange structural steel shape. The complete designation is used to distinguish the profile from other steel sections and size designations.
What information is provided for W10x39?
The source reference lists the profile dimensions, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. It also provides an associated DWG download.
Can the listed unit weight be used for a final material order?
It can support preliminary estimating and coordination, but final quantities should account for the project’s member lengths, detailing, splices, connections, coatings, fabrication allowances, and applicable procurement documentation.
Does the DWG file replace engineering design information?
No. A profile drawing supports drafting and coordination only. Member selection, connection design, fabrication details, and code compliance require project-specific engineering review.
