W36×652 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.
W36×652 measures 41 in. deep with a 17 5/8 in. flange, on a 2 in. web and 3 9/16 in. flanges.
At 652 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 = 2460 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 50600 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 2910 in³.
