The W24x76 is a wide-flange structural steel shape listed in the AISC 360-16 reference data. This page brings the section dimensions and basic reference properties together for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and CAD users.
Use the authoritative values below when reviewing drawings, comparing W-shapes, or preparing preliminary connection and detailing layouts. Final member selection and structural design require project-specific engineering verification.
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.

Unit Weight : 113.4 kg/m
How to read the W24x76 reference data
The listed depth and width describe the overall envelope of the rolled section. Web thickness and flange thickness help identify the proportions of the shape and are relevant when reviewing connection geometry, detailing clearances, and fabrication information.
The root fillet radius describes the transition between the web and flange. This rounded region is important when checking fit-up, coping, end-plate details, and other conditions where components approach the inside corner of the shape.
Section area and unit weight
Sectional area is a basic geometric property used in steel reference work and is also associated with axial-resistance and weight calculations when combined with the applicable material and design requirements. The listed unit weight supports estimating member dead load and material quantities; it should not be treated as a substitute for a project-specific design check.
Using the DWG reference
The downloadable DWG can support drafting and coordination workflows. Before issuing drawings, confirm the section orientation, connection geometry, detailing assumptions, and project material requirements against the governing design documents and the authoritative section data.

These references can help explain how profile dimensions connect to drafting and design decisions without replacing the governing specification or an engineer’s review.
W24x76 FAQ
What type of section is W24x76?
W24x76 is a W-shape, commonly described as a wide-flange structural steel section. The exact dimensions and properties for this page are provided in the source data.
Which specification is referenced for this section?
The page references AISC 360-16, the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, covering requirements related to the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States.
What information is provided for W24x76?
The reference lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. It also provides access to a DWG file for drafting reference.
Can the listed dimensions be used directly for structural design?
The values are useful for reference, coordination, and preliminary review. Structural design must still account for the project loads, materials, limit states, connections, applicable specifications, and engineering approval.
