The W14x82 is a wide-flange structural steel shape referenced in AISC 360-16. This page provides the locally maintained dimensional and section data used for reference, along with a downloadable DWG file for drafting workflows.
Use the listed properties as a starting point for steel detailing, section comparison, and preliminary coordination. Final member selection, connection design, and structural verification must follow the governing project requirements and be completed by a qualified engineer.

Understanding the W14x82 reference data
The source content identifies this member as a W beam and lists its overall depth, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. Together, these values describe the member’s basic geometry and provide useful inputs for estimating material quantities, checking clearances, and coordinating steel drawings.
Geometry for detailing and coordination
Depth and width are commonly used when checking framing layouts, beam-to-column interfaces, floor or roof clearances, and connection detailing. Web and flange thicknesses help distinguish the section geometry and support coordination with plates, bolts, welds, stiffeners, and other connection components. The root fillet radius is also relevant when detailing elements that meet the rolled shape.
Section area and unit weight
The listed sectional area can support quantity calculations and section-property workflows, while the unit weight is useful for estimating member mass and handling requirements. These values should not be treated as a substitute for the complete design checks required for strength, stability, serviceability, connections, fire protection, or project-specific fabrication requirements.
AISC and CAD reference
The page cites the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, AISC 360-16, which establishes requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States. The linked DWG resource can help users coordinate the W14x82 profile in CAD software; drawings should be checked against the project’s approved modeling and detailing conventions before issue.
W14x82 frequently asked questions
