W10×26 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.
W10×26 measures 10 3/8 in. deep with a 5 3/4 in. flange, on a 1/4 in. web and 7/16 in. flanges.
At 26 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 = 27.9 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 144 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 31.3 in³.
