WT5×30 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.
WT5×30 measures 5 in. deep with a 10 1/8 in. flange, on a 7/16 in. web and 11/16 in. flanges.
At 30 lb per foot it is one of the 18 WT5 sizes, which run from 6 to 56 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 3.04 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 12.9 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 5.87 in³.
