W10×54 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.

W10×54 measures 10 1/8 in. deep with a 10 in. flange, on a 3/8 in. web and 5/8 in. flanges.

At 54 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 = 60 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 303 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 66.6 in³.
