HSS24×16×3/4 square/rectangular HSS tube

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.

HSS24×16×3/4 is a rectangular tube 24 in. by 16 in. with a 3/4 in. nominal wall.

At 191.58 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 5 HSS24×16 sizes, which run from 82.88 to 191.58 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 350 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 4200 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 424 in³.
