The W14x22 is a W-shape reference for structural steel detailing and design research. This page brings together the published section dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and a DWG download link in one place.
Use the dimensional data as a reference when reviewing framing layouts, connection details, takeoffs, or CAD models. Final member selection and structural design 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.

Unit Weight : 32.9 kg/m
How to read this W-shape reference
The W designation identifies a wide-flange structural shape. The designation also distinguishes the section family and its nominal size-and-weight designation; the metric properties listed below are the values to use for this page’s reference data.
What the listed properties mean
- Depth and width: Overall section dimensions used when checking framing clearances, member coordination, and connection geometry.
- Web thickness: The thickness of the central web, which is relevant to web detailing and connection checks.
- Flange thickness: The thickness of the top and bottom flange elements, important for flange connections and detailing.
- Root fillet radius: The rounded transition between the web and flange. Account for this geometry when preparing precise connection or fabrication details.
- Sectional area: The cross-sectional steel area used in applicable structural calculations and quantity references.
- Unit weight: The mass per unit length, useful for estimating member weights and coordinating handling or shipping information.
Design and drafting context
The source identifies AISC 360-16 as the applicable AISC specification reference for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States. The section data should be checked against the governing project requirements, material specification, connection design, stability conditions, and applicable code provisions before use in a signed design.
For related research, connect this page with the site’s references for W-shapes, steel section properties, structural steel connections, and DWG/CAD details. These topics help readers move from a section lookup to practical layout and detailing work without treating a tabulated shape property as a complete design check.
DWG reference
The source content includes a DWG download for this shape. Use the file as a drafting reference, then confirm units, drawing scale, layer standards, and project-specific detailing requirements before incorporating it into production documents.
W14x22 FAQ
What type of section is W14x22?
W14x22 is identified as a W beam, also commonly described as a wide-flange structural steel shape.
Which standard is referenced for this section?
The source refers to AISC 360-16, the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings identified in the page content.
What information is included for W14x22?
The reference lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values are provided in metric units in the source content.
Can the listed properties be used as a complete design?
No. Section properties are reference data, not a complete member or connection design. An engineer must verify the selected shape for the applicable loads, supports, stability conditions, materials, connections, and governing project requirements.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. The source content includes a DWG download entry for W14x22. Review the file’s units and drafting conventions before using it in project documents.
