The W36x529 is a W-shape steel section referenced to the AISC 360-16 specification. This page preserves the published section data for checking dimensions, preparing drawings, and coordinating steel framing information.
Use the dimensional entries below as a quick reference for section geometry, while the sectional area and unit weight support material takeoffs and preliminary comparison with other W-shape dimensions. Final member selection and connection detailing require project-specific engineering verification.

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.

How to read the W36x529 reference data
The listed depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section. Web thickness and flange thickness describe the principal plate elements, while the root fillet radius identifies the curved transition between the web and flange. That transition matters when modeling the profile, checking clearances, or preparing connection details.
Sectional area is a geometric section property commonly used in calculations involving the steel material in the member. Unit weight expresses the listed linear weight of the section and is useful for estimating shipping, handling, and framing quantities. Keep these values distinct when reviewing a bill of material or comparing alternate steel shapes.
Drafting and design workflow
The supplied DWG can help with CAD coordination and profile representation. Before using imported geometry in a fabrication or structural model, confirm units, layer conventions, orientation, and the required level of detail. A drawing file is a drafting reference; it does not replace checks for material specification, loading, stability, connections, fabrication, or erection.
For related research, compare this entry with other W-shape section properties, steel shape designations, AISC reference pages, and connection-detailing guidance. Those related references can help explain differences in geometry without replacing the numeric source data shown on this page.
W36x529 frequently asked questions
What type of steel section is W36x529?
It is identified in the source content as a W beam, commonly discussed as a W-shape structural steel section.
Which AISC reference is listed for this section?
The source refers to AISC 360-16, the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. The specification addresses design, fabrication, and erection requirements for steel structures in the United States.
What information is provided for W36x529?
The reference lists overall depth and width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values serve different purposes in drafting, quantity review, and engineering calculations.
Can the DWG be used as the final structural design?
No. The DWG is useful for CAD and coordination, but final design must be verified against the project requirements, applicable specifications, material information, loading, stability, and connection design.
