W44×368 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.
W44×368 measures 44 3/8 in. deep with a 16 in. flange, on a 1 1/8 in. web and 2 in. flanges.
At 368 lb per foot it is one of the 6 W44 sizes, which run from 230 to 408 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 1560 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 34700 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 1800 in³.
