The W36x182 page provides a compact reference for a W-shape listed with AISC 16 context. The source data identifies the section’s depth, width, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Use this page alongside related references on W-shapes, steel section properties, and structural steel detailing. The downloadable DWG can support drafting workflows, but dimensions and project requirements should always be checked against the governing design documents.
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 : 271.5 kg/m
How to Read the W36x182 Reference
The listed dimensions describe the overall geometry of the rolled section and its principal elements. Depth and width describe the section envelope, while web thickness and flange thickness describe the main plate-like parts of the shape.
Geometry and Section Data
The root fillet radius identifies the curved transition between the web and flange. This detail is important when preparing connection drawings, checking clearances, and coordinating fabrication details.
Sectional area is a geometric property used in steel calculations, while unit weight describes the listed mass per unit length. Neither value alone determines whether a member is appropriate for a particular project; selection also depends on the structural system, loads, connections, material requirements, and applicable design checks.
Drawing and Design Coordination
The available DWG download is useful for preliminary CAD and detailing coordination. Before issuing drawings, verify orientation, member length, connection geometry, material requirements, and project-specific tolerances. For additional context, see related resources on bolted and welded connections, steel grades, and section-property terminology.
W36x182 Frequently Asked Questions
What type of steel shape is W36x182?
W36x182 is identified on this page as a W beam, a wide-flange structural steel shape. The source lists its principal dimensions and section data.
What information is provided for W36x182?
The reference includes depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values are presented in the units shown in the source table.
What does the AISC 16 reference mean?
The page identifies AISC 16 as the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. That specification addresses the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States.
Can the W36x182 DWG be used directly for construction?
The DWG is a drafting reference and should be coordinated with project drawings, connection details, fabrication requirements, and the engineer’s design before construction use.
