W-beams - wide flange beams - are stout, sturdy beams with wide flanges positioned perpendicularly to the web of the material giving them their characteristic shape and distinguishing them from I-beams. Properties in imperial units of American Wide Flange Beams according ASTM A6 are indicated below.

The steel beam dimensions for the W16x31 section can be seen in the table. The depth of the section is 15.9 in. The width of the section is 5.53 in.

Wide Flange Beam Dimensions Chart for sizes, dimensions and section properties of steel wide flange beams. Wide flange beams are designated by the letter W followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot.

Here you'll find all American Wide Flange Beam shapes described by the AISC Steel shapes database (V14.1). Sort the table below according to any property and select a CAD file to download using the reference links in the left-most column.

All dimensions are in millimeters Pmin, Pmax allowable edge distances for bolted connections, determined for an arrangement of the contact area outside the radius of the root fillet and to satisfy the requirements of EN 1993-1-8: 2005 for minimum and maximum edge distances.
