The W27x102 is a W-shape steel beam reference for reviewing basic section dimensions and identifying the corresponding CAD resource. This page preserves the source-listed geometry, sectional area, and unit weight for use during preliminary reference, drafting, and coordination.
Use this entry alongside related resources on W-shape dimensions, steel section properties, and AISC steel shapes. The listed information supports reference work; structural design, connection design, and member 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.

W27x102 reference information
The existing technical block identifies this member as a W beam and lists its principal geometric properties. These include overall depth and width, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. Keeping these values together helps readers compare the shape with other W-shape entries without confusing geometric dimensions with design capacity.
How to read the listed properties
- Depth and width: The overall envelope of the section, useful for preliminary layout and clearance checks.
- Web and flange thickness: Basic components of the rolled shape that help describe its cross-section.
- Root fillet radius: The transition geometry between the web and flange, which matters when modeling or detailing the section.
- Sectional area and unit weight: Reference properties for quantity estimates and subsequent engineering calculations; they do not by themselves establish member capacity.
Standard and CAD reference
The source points readers to the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, identified in the original content as AISC 360-16. Consult the applicable project requirements and current engineering practice when using the section in design or detailing.
A DWG download is provided with this entry for drafting and coordination workflows. Review imported CAD geometry against the authoritative dimensions on this page before issuing drawings.
