The W8x35 is a wide-flange structural steel shape listed in the supplied AISC 16 reference data. This page brings together its published geometric dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and a downloadable DWG resource for drafting workflows.
Use the values below as a reference when checking drawings, comparing W-shape entries, or preparing steel detailing information. AISC specification context, connection requirements, material selection, and structural design checks must be considered separately by the responsible 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.
Depth : 206.2 mm
Width : 203.7 mm
Web Thickness : 7.9 mm
Flange Thickness : 12.6 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 10 mm
Sectional Area : 66.45 cm2
Unit Weight : 52.2 kg/m
W8x35 reference data
The source data identifies the W8x35 as a W beam and reports its dimensions in millimeters, sectional area in square centimeters, and unit weight in kilograms per meter. These properties describe the listed shape; they do not by themselves establish allowable capacity, span, stability, or connection performance.
- Depth: the overall vertical dimension of the section.
- Width: the overall flange dimension.
- Web thickness: the thickness of the vertical web.
- Flange thickness: the thickness of each flange in the supplied reference.
- Root fillet radius: the curved transition between the web and flange.
- Sectional area: the cross-sectional steel area used in material and section-property checks.
- Unit weight: the reported mass per unit length for estimating steel quantities.
Using the DWG download
The downloadable W8x35 DWG can support CAD layout, preliminary detailing, and drawing coordination. Confirm units, scaling, layer conventions, and project-specific drafting requirements before incorporating the file into a production drawing.
Design and detailing context
The page cites the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, identified in the source as AISC 360-16. That specification provides the broader framework for steel design, fabrication, and erection in the United States. For related research, compare this shape with other W-shape dimensions, review steel section properties, and consult guidance on steel connections and detailing. Selection of a member for a particular structure requires project loads, restraint conditions, applicable materials, connection design, and engineering verification.
W8x35 frequently asked questions
What type of section is the W8x35?
It is identified in the source as a W beam, commonly described as a wide-flange structural steel shape.
What information is listed for the W8x35?
The reference provides depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight, along with AISC 16 context.
Can the W8x35 dimensions alone be used for structural design?
No. Dimensions and basic section data are reference inputs, not a complete design verification. The engineer must evaluate the applicable loading, stability, material, connection, fabrication, and project requirements.
Is a CAD file available for the W8x35?
Yes. The source includes a DWG download link for the W8x35. Review the file against the project’s CAD standards before use.
