WT15×163 tee (cut from a wide-flange)
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.
WT15×163 measures 16 1/8 in. deep with a 15 3/8 in. flange, on a 1 1/8 in. web and 2 1/16 in. flanges.
At 163 lb per foot it is one of the 16 WT15 sizes, which run from 45 to 195.5 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 78.8 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 981 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 143 in³.
