W10×49 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.
W10×49 measures 10 in. deep with a 10 in. flange, on a 5/16 in. web and 9/16 in. flanges.
At 49 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 = 54.6 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 272 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 60.4 in³.
