Steel Beam Dimensions Online

(OP)
Does anyone know of an online source for steel beam dimensions?

If not, does anyone have their design manual know the dimensions for a W 21x68 steel beam?

RE: Steel Beam Dimensions Online

What are you trying to do with the beam?  It seems like a design professional should have the manual handy.  Try Google first.

I have already sized the beam at W 21x68. Now I am stuck at home without a Steel Manual.

I am looking for the flange and web sizes of a W 21x68.
