W14x90 is a W-shape structural steel reference for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and CAD users. The source data identifies the section’s principal dimensions, material quantity indicators, and the AISC context used for structural steel practice.
Use this page alongside references on W-shape terminology, steel section properties, and structural steel detailing. The listed values remain the controlling local reference; any design or fabrication application requires review against the applicable project requirements.

How to read the W14x90 reference
The source describes the section using depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. Together, these dimensions help establish the section profile for engineering calculations, 3D modeling, connection detailing, and CAD drafting.
The listed sectional area supports material takeoffs and section-property workflows, while the unit weight provides a mass-per-length reference for estimating and coordination. These values should not be treated as a substitute for the complete section-property set or for project-specific engineering verification.
AISC context
The page cites the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, identified in the source as AISC 360-16. This reference provides the broader design, fabrication, and erection framework for structural steel buildings in the United States. Engineers should confirm the governing specification, material requirements, design method, and project criteria before relying on any section reference.
Using the DWG resource
The linked DWG file can support CAD layout, preliminary modeling, and detailing coordination. Treat downloaded geometry as a reference representation: confirm orientation, units, connection clearances, fabrication requirements, and project-specific detailing information before issuing drawings or using the file for fabrication.
W14x90 frequently asked questions
What type of section is W14x90?
W14x90 is identified in the source as a W beam, a rolled structural steel shape used as a reference in steel design and detailing workflows.
What information is provided for W14x90?
The source lists the section dimensions, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values are the authoritative local data for this page.
What does the AISC 16 reference indicate?
It refers to AISC 360-16, the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings identified by the source. It establishes a broader framework for structural steel design, fabrication, and erection in the United States.
Can the DWG file be used directly for fabrication?
No. The DWG is a drafting and coordination reference. Verify its geometry, units, orientation, and detailing requirements against approved engineering documents before fabrication or construction use.
Are the listed dimensions sufficient for structural design?
They describe important aspects of the section, but they are not a complete design check. Confirm the required section properties, material specification, loads, limit states, connection conditions, and governing project criteria with the responsible engineer.
