W12×336 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.
W12×336 measures 16 7/8 in. deep with a 13 3/8 in. flange, on a 1 3/4 in. web and 2 15/16 in. flanges.
At 336 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 29 W12 sizes, which run from 14 to 336 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 483 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 4060 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 603 in³.
