The steel beam dimensions for the W8x15 section can be seen in the table. The depth of the section is 8.11 in. The width of the section is 4.015 in. The W8x15 section has an area of 4.44in 2. The below table outlines the W8x15 section properties including the torsion constant as well as moment of inertia and plastic modulus properties.

The stand - alone program SHAPE-MASSIVE determines section properties of any thick - walled cross - section and calculates the stresses. In addition, you can perform reinforced concrete design according to Eurocode 2 and other standards.

W-beams - wide flange beams - are stout, sturdy beams with wide flanges positioned perpendicularly to the web of the material giving them their characteristic shape and distinguishing them from I-beams. Properties in imperial units of American Wide Flange Beams according ASTM A6 are indicated below.

Wide Flange Beam Dimensions Chart for sizes, dimensions and section properties of steel wide flange beams. Wide flange beams are designated by the letter W followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot. Thus W12 × 19 designates a wide flange beam with a depth of 12 inches and a nominal weight of 19 pounds per foot.

Dimensions and structural sectional properties for a W8X15 standard steel section. Includes width, depth, thickness, moment of inertia, section modulus, plastic modulus, and weight.

Here you'll find all American Wide Flange Beam shapes described by the AISC Steel shapes database (V14.1). Sort the table below according to any property and select a CAD file to download using the reference links in the left-most column.

Stainless Steel W Beam W 8X15 is available in hot rolled and laser fused profiles. Custom shapes, sizes and alloys are available upon request.

W flange beams and allowable uniform load. Note that these calculations are rather conservative - based on steel with yield strength 36 ksi and the ASD - Allowable Stress Design - method. It is also common to use steel with yield strength 50 ksi and also the LRFD - Load and Resistance Factor Design - method. For full table - rotate the screen!
