W14×22 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.
W14×22 measures 13 3/4 in. deep with a 5 in. flange, on a 1/4 in. web and 5/16 in. flanges.
At 22 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 38 W14 sizes, which run from 22 to 873 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 29 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 199 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 33.2 in³.
