The W30x124 is a W-shape steel beam listed in the AISC 16 reference set. This page provides the published section dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and a DWG download for drafting and reference workflows.
Use the dimensional data below when checking a preliminary layout, comparing W-shape profiles, or coordinating steel details. Final member selection and connection 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.
Depth : 767.1 mm
Width : 266.7 mm
Web Thickness : 14.9 mm
Flange Thickness : 23.6 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 16.5 mm
Sectional Area : 235.48 cm2
Unit Weight : 184.9 kg/m
How to read the W30x124 reference data
The listed depth and width describe the overall profile envelope. Web thickness and flange thickness help identify the proportions of the section, while the root fillet radius describes the curved transition between the web and each flange.
Sectional area is provided in square centimeters, and unit weight is provided in kilograms per meter. These values are useful when comparing steel shapes and estimating member self-weight, but they do not by themselves establish design strength, allowable span, or connection capacity.
AISC reference and CAD workflow
The source identifies AISC 360-16, the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, as the governing reference context for this listing. Consult the applicable project requirements and current adopted provisions before using the shape in design or fabrication documentation.
The downloadable DWG file can support drafting and coordination. Verify the drawing units, scale, layer conventions, and project modeling requirements before incorporating it into production documents.

W30x124 FAQ
What is the W30x124?
W30x124 is a W-shape steel beam designation. The source lists its depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
What reference is associated with this section?
The listing refers to AISC 360-16, identified in the source as the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
What information is provided for the W30x124?
The page provides the section dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and a DWG download. The numeric values in the existing reference content should be treated as the local source data for this page.
Can the W30x124 be selected for a structural project from this page alone?
No. Member selection depends on the loads, span, support conditions, bracing, material requirements, limit states, connections, and applicable project criteria. A qualified engineer should verify the complete design.
