W36×802 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.
W36×802 measures 42 5/8 in. deep with a 18 in. flange, on a 2 3/8 in. web and 4 5/16 in. flanges.
At 802 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 = 3040 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 64800 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 3660 in³.
