W36×302 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.
W36×302 measures 37 3/8 in. deep with a 16 5/8 in. flange, on a 15/16 in. web and 1 11/16 in. flanges.
At 302 lb per foot it is one of the 29 W36 sizes, which run from 135 to 925 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 1130 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 21100 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 1280 in³.
