The W24x370 is a wide-flange structural steel section listed in the W-shape reference data. This page brings together the section dimensions, area, unit weight, specification context, and CAD resource provided in the source record.
Use this entry alongside related references on W-shape terminology, steel section properties, and structural steel detailing. The listed values are reference data; design, connection, fabrication, and erection decisions require review by a qualified engineer and confirmation against the applicable project requirements.
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.

How to read the W24x370 reference
The W designation identifies a wide-flange beam family. The remainder of the designation distinguishes this section from other W shapes. For practical drafting and preliminary coordination, compare the listed overall depth, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius with the available space and connected details.
Using the section data
The existing reference values describe the section geometry and basic mass-related properties. Sectional area is useful when considering material quantity and related calculations, while unit weight supports estimating and handling discussions. These values do not by themselves establish allowable strength, connection capacity, serviceability performance, or suitability for a particular structural application.
Specification and CAD context
This entry refers to the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings identified in the source content. Treat that reference as the governing context supplied by this page, and verify project-specific requirements, material designations, detailing rules, and the applicable edition before using the information for engineering work.
A DWG download is provided with the original entry for drafting and coordination workflows. Check the downloaded geometry against the reference dimensions before incorporating it into production drawings, connection details, or fabrication documentation. Related pages on CAD/DWG steel shapes and W-shape selection can help place this section in a broader reference workflow.
Frequently asked questions
What is the W24x370?
W24x370 is a designation for a wide-flange structural steel section. The source entry provides its geometric dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and specification reference.
What information is listed for this section?
The entry lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values should be read together rather than treated as a substitute for a complete design check.
Does this page confirm that the section is suitable for my project?
No. Suitability depends on loads, unbraced length, support conditions, stability, material requirements, connections, serviceability, fabrication, and other project-specific checks. A qualified engineer should verify the application.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. The original entry includes a DWG download for the W24x370 reference. Review the file and compare it with the listed source data before using it in drawings or coordination models.
