Fillet radius of W8X35 Wide Flange Beam
Fillet radius of W8X35 Wide Flange Beam
(OP)
Does anyone know what the real inside corner fillet radius is for a W8X35 wide flange beam?
I need to put some holes in the beam for bolts, washers and nuts, but do not want the washers to touch the radius.

So this would make the radius of the weld at 1/2" with the flange thickness being 1/2".

Look in an older AISC Steel Design Manual, in the front, for W Shapes Dimensions for Detailing. The R you are looking for is about .4", for a W8x35, a W8 which is 8x8. Look at the (T, k, k1, g1, c & g) dimensions; they are 6&1/8", 1", 9/16", 2&1/4", 3/16", and 5&1/2" respectively. They might vary a little from mill to mill or with the conditions of their rolling mill at the time of rolling. They are dimensions in the region of the radius and the web/flg. area, and std. gage dimensions for bolting holes.
