How to use this W14x99 reference
The listed depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius describe the shape’s principal cross-sectional geometry. These dimensions are useful when checking clearances, coordinating framing members, reviewing connection details, and comparing the profile with other W-shapes.
The sectional area and unit weight support material takeoff and reference calculations. They should be used together with the applicable design criteria, material specification, loading information, and verified section-property data when performing structural design.
AISC reference and drafting workflow
The source identifies AISC 360-16 as the governing reference for the design, fabrication, and erection context stated on this page. Readers should consult the applicable project requirements and current approved references rather than treating this entry as a substitute for engineering judgment or project specifications.
The available DWG file can help with CAD coordination and layout work. Before issuing drawings, verify the profile orientation, units, layer standards, connection geometry, and any fabrication requirements against the project documents. Related internal references may include W-shape dimensions, steel section properties, steel connections, and structural steel drafting.
W14x99 frequently asked questions
What type of steel shape is W14x99?
W14x99 is identified on this page as a W beam, commonly understood as a wide-flange structural steel shape. Use the published dimensions to confirm its actual geometry for coordination and detailing.
What information is provided for W14x99?
The reference includes depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight, along with a DWG download.
Can this page be used to select a beam for a building?
No. The data is a reference for identification, drafting, and preliminary review. Beam selection must account for loads, span, support conditions, stability, material requirements, connections, applicable codes, and engineering verification.
What is the DWG file useful for?
The DWG file is intended to support CAD and detailing workflows. Review its units and geometry before incorporating it into project drawings or fabrication documentation.
Why is AISC 360-16 mentioned?
The source content cites AISC 360-16 as the specification reference for structural steel building design, fabrication, and erection in the United States. Apply the reference required by the project and authority having jurisdiction.
