HP16×88 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.

HP16×88 measures 15 3/8 in. deep with a 15 11/16 in. flange, on a 9/16 in. web and 9/16 in. flanges.

At 88 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 6 HP16 sizes, which run from 88 to 183 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 145 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 1110 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 161 in³.
