W8x67 is a W-shaped structural steel beam reference entry for checking section dimensions, mass-related information, and drafting resources. Use the source values on this page when reviewing drawings, comparing steel shape data, or coordinating a preliminary framing layout.
The dimensional fields below identify the beam’s overall depth and width, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. The page also identifies the applicable AISC reference and provides a DWG file for CAD workflows.
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.

Width : 210.3 mm
Web Thickness : 14.5 mm
Flange Thickness : 23.7 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 10 mm
Sectional Area : 127.1 cm2
Unit Weight : 99.8 kg/m
How to read this W-beam entry
A W beam is a wide-flange structural shape with a web between two flanges. The listed depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section, while web thickness and flange thickness help distinguish the shape geometry used in detailing and connection coordination.
Section properties and fabrication details
The root fillet radius describes the curved transition between the web and flange. This detail matters when checking clearances, fitting connection components, and interpreting section drawings. The sectional area is a geometric property used in engineering calculations, while the unit weight supports material takeoffs and weight-based coordination.
Using the AISC reference
The source identifies AISC 360-16, the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, as its reference. Treat the dimensions and properties shown in the existing source content as the controlling local data for this page. Design decisions still require the applicable project criteria, load effects, material information, connection design, and review by a qualified engineer.
CAD and detailing workflow
The available DWG download can support drafting and shape-library coordination. Before using the file in a production drawing, verify its units, insertion orientation, layer conventions, and geometry against the project’s governing steel-shape reference. Related SteelSTD resources on W shapes, section properties, structural steel terminology, and connection detailing can provide useful context when developing a drawing set.
Frequently asked questions
What type of section is W8x67?
It is identified on this page as a W beam, also commonly described as a wide-flange structural steel shape.
Which reference is identified for this section?
The source content refers to the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, AISC 360-16.
What information is listed for W8x67?
The entry lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values should be read directly from the existing source content.
Is a DWG file available?
Yes. The source content includes a DWG download for W8x67. Check the file’s units and geometry before incorporating it into project documentation.
Can the listed properties be used as a complete design check?
No. Section data is only one part of structural design. Member resistance, stability, serviceability, connections, materials, loads, and project requirements must be evaluated by a qualified engineer.
