Series overview
W14 series
The W14 series groups AISC W-family shapes that share the same nominal-depth designation prefix. Weights and actual depths still vary within the series, so use the table below to compare candidates before analysis.
The AISC W14 series contains 38 published sections ranging from 22.00 to 873.00 lb/ft . Actual depths range from 13.70 to 23.60 inches, despite the shared W14 nominal designation .
- Lightest W14
- W14X22
- Highest Ix
- W14X873
- Shallowest actual depth
- W14X22
- Widest flange
- W14X873

Questions & answers
W14 FAQs
What is the W14 series?
It is the set of published AISC W shapes whose designation begins with W14. Members share a nominal-depth label but can differ in weight, actual depth and properties.
Why do actual depths differ within W14?
The number in the designation is nominal. Published overall depth varies by weight. Always use the tabulated depth for clearance and detailing.
How should I choose among W14 weights?
Compare weight, Ix, Sx, flange geometry and project constraints, then analyze finalists under the same span and loads. There is no universal “best” section.
Can I analyze a W14 section in Optimal Beam?
Yes. Select a designation above and choose Analyze to load its properties into the beam calculator.
