W10×22 wide-flange 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.

W10×22 measures 10 1/8 in. deep with a 5 3/4 in. flange, on a 1/4 in. web and 3/8 in. flanges.

At 22 lb per foot it is one of the 18 W10 sizes, which run from 12 to 112 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 23.2 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 118 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 26 in³.
