S24×90 standard beam
Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.
S24×90 measures 24 in. deep with a 7 1/8 in. flange, on a 5/8 in. web and 7/8 in. flanges.
At 90 lb per foot it is one of the 5 S24 sizes, which run from 80 to 121 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 187 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 2250 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 222 in³.
