W33×201 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.
W33×201 measures 33 5/8 in. deep with a 15 3/4 in. flange, on a 11/16 in. web and 1 1/8 in. flanges.
At 201 lb per foot it is one of the 13 W33 sizes, which run from 118 to 387 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 686 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 11600 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 773 in³.
