W8×58 vs W8×67
A side-by-side comparison of two AISC wide-flange beams, 16th Edition. Detailing dimensions to the nearest 1/16 in.
W8×67 is the heavier section at 67 lb per foot, versus 58 for W8×58 (9 lb/ft more).
Both are nominally 8 in. deep.
W8×67 has the greater bending strength: section modulus Sx of 60.4 in³ versus 52, about 16% more.
