W33x201 is identified in the source data as a W beam, also known as a wide-flange structural steel section. This reference summarizes its listed geometric dimensions, sectional area, and unit weight without replacing the authoritative local data.
Use this page alongside related references for W-shape sections, AISC section properties, steel detailing, and structural steel CAD resources. The available DWG file can support drafting and coordination workflows, while final design decisions 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.

Width : 398.8 mm
Web Thickness : 18.2 mm
Flange Thickness : 29.2 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 20.1 mm
Sectional Area : 381.29 cm2
Unit Weight : 299.3 kg/m
W33x201 reference data
The dimensions describe the overall section geometry and the thicknesses of its principal elements. Depth and width indicate the section envelope, while web thickness and flange thickness describe the web and flanges. The listed root fillet radius represents the transition region between these elements.
Sectional area is provided in square centimeters, and unit weight is provided in kilograms per meter. Keep the stated units attached to each value when transferring the information into drawings, spreadsheets, estimating tools, or design documentation.
How to use this steel shape reference
This page is useful as a quick identification reference during preliminary layout, drafting, and section comparison. Before using the shape in a design, confirm the governing project requirements, material specification, connection conditions, applicable design provisions, and the complete section-property set needed for analysis.
The source refers to the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-16). That reference provides a broader framework for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures; it does not remove the need for project-specific engineering review.
DWG resource
A DWG download is provided for W33x201. CAD geometry should be checked against the displayed reference data and used with appropriate drafting controls, especially where clearances, connections, copes, or fabrication details are involved.
Frequently asked questions
What type of section is W33x201?
The source identifies W33x201 as a W beam, or wide-flange structural steel section.
What dimensions are listed for W33x201?
The source lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. Refer to the preserved technical content on this page for the authoritative values and units.
What section properties are provided?
The source provides sectional area and unit weight. Additional properties needed for analysis or design should be obtained from the governing section-property reference and verified for the project.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. A DWG download is included for drafting and coordination use. Review the file before incorporating it into production documentation.
Does the AISC 16 reference approve a specific design?
No. The reference identifies the applicable AISC specification context, but member selection and design require project-specific calculations, material confirmation, connection design, and engineering judgment.
