The W36x925 is a W-shape steel section identified by its nominal designation. This reference page places the section dimensions and other listed properties in practical context for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and students reviewing structural steel information.
Use the source data below as the controlling local reference for the section values. The accompanying DWG resource can support drafting workflows, while design decisions should be checked against the applicable project requirements and completed by a qualified engineer.
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.

Web Thickness : 76.7 mm
Flange Thickness : 115.1 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 19.1 mm
Sectional Area : 1754.84 cm2
Unit Weight : 1377.5 kg/m
How to read the W36x925 reference
The listed depth and width describe the overall section envelope. Web thickness refers to the central web, while flange thickness describes the flange material. The root fillet radius identifies the curved transition between the web and a flange, which is relevant when interpreting profiles, connections, and CAD geometry.
Section area and unit weight
Sectional area describes the amount of steel in the cross-section and is reported here in square centimetres. Unit weight expresses the mass of the section per metre. These properties are useful when reviewing material takeoffs, estimating member mass, and coordinating structural drawings, but they do not by themselves establish a member’s capacity or suitability for a specific design.
AISC reference and drafting use
The source identifies AISC 360-16, the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, as the reference context. That specification addresses requirements related to the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States. For related background, connect this page to the site’s resources on W-shape terminology, steel section properties, structural steel connections, and DWG/CAD references.
When using the downloadable DWG, confirm units, scale, layer conventions, and project drafting standards before incorporating the profile into production drawings. The geometry should be coordinated with the authoritative section data and the project’s approved design documents.
W36x925 FAQ
What is the W36x925?
W36x925 is the designation of a W-shape structural steel section. The source content lists its metric dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and root fillet radius.
What does the W in W36x925 mean?
The W identifies a wide-flange, or wide, structural steel shape. The remaining designation distinguishes this section within the W-shape series.
What does the unit weight represent?
Unit weight represents the listed mass of the steel section for each metre of length. It can assist with material quantity reviews and coordination, but it is not a substitute for engineering design checks.
Is a DWG available for W36x925?
Yes. The source content provides a DWG download reference for the W36x925 profile. Review the file’s units and drafting conventions before using it in project documentation.
Which specification is referenced?
The page references AISC 360-16, identified in the source as the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings.
