WT18×85 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.
WT18×85 measures 18 in. deep with a 12 in. flange, on a 11/16 in. web and 1 1/8 in. flanges.
At 85 lb per foot it is one of the 29 WT18 sizes, which run from 67.5 to 462.5 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 58.9 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 786 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 105 in³.
