HP16×162 H-pile
Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.
HP16×162 measures 16 1/4 in. deep with a 16 1/8 in. flange, on a 1 in. web and 1 in. flanges.
At 162 lb per foot it is one of the 6 HP16 sizes, which run from 88 to 183 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 269 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 2190 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 306 in³.
