W36x723 reference data
The source content identifies this member as a W Beam and reports its geometry and mass properties in metric units. 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 describes the transition between the web and flange.

Using the listed properties
The sectional area and unit weight are useful for material takeoff, member identification, and preliminary comparison with other steel shapes. They do not, by themselves, establish available strength, serviceability performance, connection capacity, or suitability for a particular structural system. Those checks require the governing design criteria, material information, load effects, restraint conditions, and applicable engineering review.
The listed root fillet is also relevant when reviewing connection details, copes, clearances, and fabrication interfaces. When preparing drawings, use the downloadable W36x723 DWG with the verified project standards and detailing requirements. Related internal references may include steel connections and detailing, AISC reference guidance, and structural steel CAD resources.
Reference basis
The source cites the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, identified here as AISC 360-16. Treat the values on this page as the local shape reference data and verify project-specific requirements against the governing documents and the engineer of record’s design criteria.
Frequently asked questions
What type of section is W36x723?
It is identified in the source content as a W Beam, a rolled structural steel shape with a web and flanges.
What units are used for the W36x723 data?
The geometric dimensions are given in millimeters, sectional area is given in square centimeters, and unit weight is given in kilograms per meter.
Does the listed unit weight determine the member’s design strength?
No. Unit weight describes the reported mass per unit length. Design strength and serviceability require additional section, material, loading, restraint, and connection checks.
Where can I obtain a W36x723 CAD file?
The source content provides a DWG download for W36x723. Review the file against the project drawing setup and verified shape data before issuing fabrication or construction documents.
Why is the root fillet radius important?
The root fillet affects the transition between the web and flange and can matter when checking fit-up, connection detailing, copes, clearances, and fabrication interfaces.
