The W18x35 is a wide-flange structural steel shape identified in the source content as a W beam. This reference brings together its listed geometric dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, specification context, and CAD download.
Use the values below as a dimensional reference, then compare them with related W-shape dimensions and steel section properties when selecting or detailing a member. Final member selection, connection design, and structural verification require the applicable project criteria and engineering review.
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.

Web Thickness : 7.6 mm
Flange Thickness : 10.8 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 10.2 mm
Sectional Area : 66.45 cm2
Unit Weight : 52.2 kg/m
How to use this W18x35 reference
The source data reports the shape’s depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. These dimensions describe the overall profile and its principal components, which are useful when checking clearances, preparing drawings, or coordinating steel framing details.
The listed sectional area and unit weight provide separate reference information for quantity checks and modeling workflows. They should not be treated as a complete set of design properties: bending, shear, buckling, deflection, and connection checks depend on the governing design specification, material information, loading, restraint, and detailing conditions.
Specification and drafting context
The source refers to the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, AISC 360-16. That reference establishes a design, fabrication, and erection framework for steel structures in the United States; it does not replace project-specific engineering judgment or the requirements in contract documents.
The downloadable DWG can support drafting and coordination. Before using it in production documents, verify the profile orientation, units, layer conventions, drawing scale, and compatibility with the project’s CAD standards. Related internal resources may include AISC references, W-shape terminology, section-property guidance, and other steel DWG resources.
W18x35 FAQ
What type of steel shape is W18x35?
It is identified in the source content as a W beam, also called a wide-flange shape. The page lists its profile dimensions and basic reference properties.
What information is provided for W18x35?
The source provides depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. It also identifies the AISC 360-16 specification context.
Can the W18x35 DWG be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is a drafting reference and should be reviewed against the project’s units, CAD standards, detailing requirements, and approved engineering documents before fabrication use.
Does this page provide complete design properties?
No. The listed data is a dimensional and reference summary. Complete design verification requires the applicable material, loading, stability, limit-state, connection, and project-specific requirements.
