WT20×196 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.
WT20×196 measures 20 3/4 in. deep with a 12 3/8 in. flange, on a 1 7/16 in. web and 2 1/2 in. flanges.
At 196 lb per foot it is one of the 24 WT20 sizes, which run from 74.5 to 327.5 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 153 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 2270 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 275 in³.
