The W14x605 is a heavy wide-flange structural steel shape listed in the W-beam reference data below. This page brings together its published geometric dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, applicable AISC reference, and a downloadable DWG resource.
Use the source values for preliminary reference, modeling, detailing, and comparison with other W-shapes. Structural design decisions require the applicable project criteria, material information, connection design, stability checks, and verification by a qualified engineer.
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 : 442 mm
Web Thickness : 66 mm
Flange Thickness : 105.7 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 15.2 mm
Sectional Area : 1148.38 cm2
Unit Weight : 901.5 kg/m
How to use this W14x605 reference
The existing reference block identifies the shape as a W beam and reports its depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These properties describe the physical section and help engineers and detailers distinguish this shape from other wide-flange profiles.
Dimensions and detailing
Depth and width are useful for coordination, framing layouts, clearance checks, and connection detailing. Web and flange thicknesses help communicate the section geometry when preparing fabrication or structural drawings. The root fillet is also relevant where plates, clips, seats, or connection components approach the rolled shape.
Sectional area and unit weight
Sectional area supports calculations that depend on the amount of steel in the cross-section. Unit weight is useful for estimating member self-weight, handling requirements, shipping considerations, and material takeoffs. Neither value alone establishes allowable strength, member capacity, or connection adequacy.
AISC context and CAD workflow
The source identifies AISC 360-16 as the referenced specification for structural steel building design, fabrication, and erection in the United States. Treat that reference as design context rather than a substitute for project-specific engineering review. The linked DWG can support drafting and coordination, but downloaded geometry should be checked against the authoritative section data before fabrication or construction use.

W14x605 FAQ
What type of section is the W14x605?
It is identified in the source content as a W beam, also commonly described as a wide-flange structural steel shape.
What information is listed for the W14x605?
The reference provides the shape dimensions, root fillet radius, sectional area, unit weight, and the stated AISC specification reference.
Does the W14x605 page provide member load capacity?
No. Load capacity depends on factors such as span, bracing, loading, support conditions, material properties, limit states, and connection details. Those checks must be completed for the specific project.
Can the DWG be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is provided as a drafting and coordination resource. Verify its geometry and project requirements against the authoritative section data and approved engineering documents before fabrication.
Why is the root fillet radius important?
The root fillet affects the rolled profile geometry and can influence how connection plates, fittings, and detailing components fit against the web and flange region.
