The W44x335 is a wide-flange structural steel shape listed with dimensional and mass properties for reference. This page preserves the source values and adds practical guidance for interpreting the section data, checking terminology, and using the associated CAD resource.
Use this entry alongside related references for W-shape dimensions, steel section properties, and structural steel detailing. The listed information supports drafting and preliminary reference work; final design decisions require the applicable project requirements and engineering verification.

How to read the W44x335 reference
The source identifies the shape as a W beam and references the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, identified here as AISC 360-16. The dimensional entries describe the overall depth and width, while web and flange thicknesses describe the primary plate elements of the rolled section.
- Depth: the overall vertical dimension of the section.
- Width: the overall flange-to-flange dimension.
- Web thickness: the thickness of the central web.
- Flange thickness: the thickness of each flange.
- Root fillet radius: the curved transition between the web and flange.
- Sectional area: the cross-sectional area used in section-property and mass calculations.
- Unit weight: the listed mass-per-length reference for the shape.
Using the dimensions for drafting and review
When preparing a detail, compare the section dimensions with connection clearances, copes, stiffeners, plates, and adjacent members shown in the project documents. The root fillet is especially relevant where a plate, angle, or connection component must fit against the flange and web transition.
The associated DWG download can support CAD coordination and drawing development. Treat downloaded geometry as a reference resource: confirm units, drawing scale, layer conventions, and project-specific detailing requirements before incorporating it into production documents. For broader context, link this page to the site’s guides on W-shape terminology, structural steel connections, and CAD/DWG detailing resources.
Reference and design limitations
The values on this page are source-of-truth reference data for the listed shape. They should not be used by themselves to select a member, establish connection capacity, or demonstrate compliance with a project specification. Those tasks require the applicable loading, material, stability, connection, fabrication, and erection checks.
W44x335 frequently asked questions
What type of section is W44x335?
W44x335 is identified as a W beam, also called a wide-flange structural steel section. Its web and flanges form the primary rolled shape described by the listed dimensions.
What does the root fillet radius describe?
The root fillet radius describes the curved transition where the web meets a flange. This detail can affect fit-up and clearances for plates, connection components, and other attached parts.
Can the W44x335 DWG be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is provided as a drafting and reference resource. Review its units, geometry, project standards, and required fabrication details before using it in issued drawings or fabrication documentation.
Does the listed unit weight establish a design capacity?
No. Unit weight is a mass-per-length reference. It does not by itself establish strength, stability, connection resistance, or suitability for a particular structural design.
