The W36x135 is a wide-flange structural steel shape listed in the W-shape reference data below. This page presents the source dimensions, section area, unit weight, and profile information for design and drafting reference.
Use the dimensional listing together with the applicable project requirements, material specifications, connection details, and engineering checks. The downloadable DWG can support layout and detailing workflows, but it should be reviewed before use in a project.
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 : 202.1 kg/m
How to read the W36x135 reference
The designation identifies a W-shape entry in the AISC shape reference. The source data reports overall depth and width, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These properties describe the section geometry and are useful when coordinating steel framing, checking clearances, or preparing drawings.
Why the listed dimensions matter
Depth and width help establish the beam envelope for framing coordination. Web thickness and flange thickness describe the principal plate elements of the rolled section, while the root fillet radius represents the curved transition between the web and flange. That transition should be considered when detailing bearing, coping, fittings, and connections that approach the flange-web junction.
Sectional area and unit weight
The listed sectional area supports calculations that depend on the steel cross-sectional area. The listed unit weight is useful for estimating member dead load and coordinating handling or erection information. Confirm how these values are applied in the governing design workflow rather than treating the shape listing as a complete design check.
Reference standard and CAD resource
The source identifies AISC 360-16, the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. Use the related AISC steel-shape references, section-property guidance, steel connection resources, and structural drafting references when developing a complete design or detail.
The available DWG download provides a CAD representation of the W36x135 profile. Check units, insertion scale, layer standards, and the drawing geometry against the source dimensions before incorporating it into project documentation.
W36x135 frequently asked questions
What type of section is W36x135?
W36x135 is a W-shape, commonly described as a wide-flange structural steel section. The authoritative dimensions and properties for this page are provided in the source content.
What information is listed for W36x135?
The reference lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values should be read together with the applicable design and detailing requirements.
Which specification is identified on this page?
The source refers to AISC 360-16, the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. Project-specific requirements may also govern material, fabrication, inspection, and erection.
Is the W36x135 DWG ready for construction use?
The DWG is a drafting reference for the section profile. Verify its scale, units, geometry, and project-specific detailing requirements before using it in construction documents.
Can the listed properties replace engineering design?
No. A shape listing supplies reference geometry and section data, but member design, stability, connections, loads, limit states, and project criteria require review by the responsible engineer.
