W14×730 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.

W14×730 measures 22 3/8 in. deep with a 17 7/8 in. flange, on a 3 1/16 in. web and 4 15/16 in. flanges.

At 730 lb per foot it is one of the 38 W14 sizes, which run from 22 to 873 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 1280 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 14300 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 1660 in³.
