The W10x54 is a structural W-beam reference entry for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and students working with steel framing. This page identifies the section dimensions and related properties published in the accompanying source data, along with a CAD download for drafting workflows.
Use this entry alongside related resources on W-shape dimensions, steel section properties, and structural steel connections. The listed values are reference data; final member selection and detailing require project-specific engineering verification.
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.

Width : 254 mm
Web Thickness : 9.4 mm
Flange Thickness : 15.6 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 12.8 mm
Sectional Area : 101.94 cm2
Unit Weight : 80 kg/m
How to read the W10x54 reference
The source content identifies this member as a W beam and reports its overall depth and width, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These fields help users compare the shape with other structural steel sections and prepare consistent design or drafting references.
Dimensions and section properties
Overall depth and width describe the envelope of the rolled section. Web thickness and flange thickness describe the principal plate elements, while the root fillet radius describes the transition between the web and flange. Sectional area and unit weight are separate reference properties and should not be treated as substitutes for a complete structural analysis.
For practical workflows, compare this entry with other W-shape dimension pages before choosing a candidate section. Additional checks may include loading, span, support conditions, lateral stability, connection details, fabrication requirements, and the governing project specifications.
Reference standard and CAD resource
The source refers to the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, identified there as AISC 360-16. That reference provides the design, fabrication, and erection context stated in the original content; users should confirm which requirements apply to their project.
A DWG download is provided with the entry for use in CAD and detailing workflows. Treat downloaded geometry as a drafting reference and verify dimensions against the authoritative local section data before issuing drawings.
Frequently asked questions
What type of section is the W10x54?
The source identifies it as a W beam, commonly used as a structural steel shape reference in design and detailing work.
What information is listed for the W10x54?
The entry lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Which standard is referenced on this page?
The source refers to AISC 360-16, the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
Is the listed information enough to select the member for a project?
No. The reference data should be evaluated with project loads, support and bracing conditions, connection requirements, applicable specifications, and professional engineering judgment.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. The page includes a DWG download associated with the W10x54 entry. Verify the downloaded geometry against the source data before using it for issued documentation.
