The W33x241 page provides a concise reference for a structural steel W beam, including the section dimensions and properties listed in the accompanying AISC-based source data. Use this page when checking terminology, reviewing drafting information, or locating the available DWG resource.
The values in the technical content below are the authoritative local reference for this page. For design, fabrication, connection detailing, and erection decisions, verify the applicable project requirements and have the work reviewed by a qualified engineer.
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 : 868.7 mm
Width : 403.9 mm
Web Thickness : 21.1 mm
Flange Thickness : 35.6 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 20.1 mm
Sectional Area : 458.71 cm2
Unit Weight : 360.1 kg/m
How to use the W33x241 reference
The listed dimensions describe the overall geometry of the section and its principal elements, including the web, flanges, and root fillet. The sectional area and unit weight provide additional reference information for estimating and comparison workflows, but they should not be treated as a complete design check.
When comparing this shape with other W shapes, review the complete set of properties rather than relying on the designation alone. Section geometry affects drafting, fit-up, connection detailing, material takeoff, and the way the shape is represented in structural analysis software.
Terminology for steel shape references
- Depth and width: overall section dimensions used to understand the envelope of the shape.
- Web thickness: the listed thickness of the central web element.
- Flange thickness: the listed thickness of the projecting flange elements.
- Root fillet radius: the curved transition between the web and flange.
- Sectional area and unit weight: reference properties useful for material and modeling workflows.
AISC reference and DWG workflow
The source identifies AISC 360-16 as the governing reference associated with this page. Treat that reference as part of the documentation context, and confirm the requirements applicable to the project, material specification, and design responsibility.
The available DWG download can support drafting and CAD coordination. Before using it in a production drawing, check units, layer conventions, orientation, insertion scale, and the project’s required detailing standards. Related internal resources on W-shape dimensions, steel section properties, structural steel terminology, and DWG reference files can help users continue their research.
W33x241 FAQ
What type of steel shape is W33x241?
The source identifies W33x241 as a W Beam. The designation is used to identify the specific section represented by the dimensions and properties on this page.
What information is listed for W33x241?
The reference lists the section depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values describe the referenced shape and support comparison, drafting, and preliminary engineering workflows.
What does the AISC reference mean on this page?
The page identifies AISC 360-16 as the specification reference associated with the source content. It provides the documentation context for structural steel design, fabrication, and erection requirements; project-specific engineering still requires appropriate verification.
Is a DWG file available for W33x241?
Yes. The page includes a DWG download for the W33x241 shape. Review the file’s units and drafting conventions before incorporating it into project documentation.
