The W36x282 is a W-shaped structural steel section documented here with metric dimensions and section data referenced to AISC 16. This page is intended as a quick reference for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and CAD users reviewing W-shape geometry.
Use the dimensional data below when checking drawings, comparing section profiles, or coordinating steel details. The listed values are the authoritative local reference for this page; project design decisions should be verified against the applicable design requirements and project documentation.
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 : 421.6 mm
Web Thickness : 22.5 mm
Flange Thickness : 39.9 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 24.1 mm
Sectional Area : 534.84 cm2
Unit Weight : 419.8 kg/m
How to read the W36x282 reference
The source content identifies the section as a W Beam and reports its overall depth, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. Together, these dimensions describe the primary rolled profile and help users coordinate the section with connection details, clearances, and other members shown in a structural model or drawing.
The page also provides sectional area and unit weight. Sectional area is useful when reviewing material quantities and member-property references, while unit weight supports estimating and coordination workflows. These values should not be treated as a substitute for project-specific structural calculations, connection design, or specification review.
AISC reference and drafting use
The listed reference is AISC 16, identified in the source as the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, 2016 edition. Readers comparing this section with other W-shapes can use the site’s related steel-shape references and section-property pages for consistent terminology and cross-checking.
A DWG download is provided with this entry for CAD and detailing workflows. Before incorporating the file into a production drawing, confirm the section orientation, units, layer conventions, and project drafting standards.
