The W36x330 is a wide-flange structural steel shape listed in the provided AISC 16 reference data. This page brings together its reported dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and CAD resource in one practical reference.
Use the technical values below when reviewing drawings, comparing W-shape designations, or preparing preliminary detailing information. Final member selection and structural use require verification by a qualified engineer against the applicable project requirements.
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 : 957.6 mm
Width : 421.6 mm
Web Thickness : 25.9 mm
Flange Thickness : 47 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 24.1 mm
Sectional Area : 625.16 cm2
Unit Weight : 490.8 kg/m
How to use this W36x330 reference
The source data identifies the overall depth and width, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These properties support different stages of engineering work: dimensions help with layout and connection coordination, while area and weight are relevant to quantity review and design calculations.
When checking fit-up or preparing a steel detail, review the flange and web dimensions together rather than relying only on the shape designation. The root fillet is also relevant where plates, fittings, or connection components approach the rolled profile.
AISC 16 context
The accompanying reference to AISC 16 points to the American Institute of Steel Construction specification identified in the source content. That specification provides requirements related to the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States. Project documents should establish which specifications and material requirements govern the work.
CAD and detailing workflow
The downloadable DWG can support drafting and coordination workflows. Before incorporating it into a production drawing, confirm the drawing units, layer standards, orientation, and project-specific detailing conventions. CAD geometry should be checked against the authoritative section data before fabrication documents are issued.

W36x330 FAQ
What type of section is W36x330?
W36x330 is identified in the source as a W beam, also called a wide-flange structural steel shape.
Which specification is referenced for this shape?
The source references AISC 16 and identifies the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
What information is provided for W36x330?
The reference includes depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Can the DWG be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is a drafting resource. Verify its geometry, units, and project requirements against the authoritative section data before using it in fabrication documentation.
Does this page replace structural design review?
No. The listed properties are reference information and do not replace engineering checks, connection design, specification review, or project approval.
