StructureCalcsW33X141
Wide-Flange Beam · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States
W33X141 is a wide-flange beam 845.8 mm deep with a 292.1 mm wide flange, weighing 209.8 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.
W-shapes are the American wide-flange family — the default beam and column of US practice, with parallel flanges and the widest range of depths in the AISC catalogue.

Derived section properties
Integrated from the section's own outline including the root and toe radii, whose arcs are integrated analytically rather than approximated by facets. For W33X141 the computed area agrees with the published value to 0.01% and Ix to 0.16%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 7,343,812 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 695,424 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 8,427,614 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 1,091,376 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 340.2 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 61.5 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
