WT6×85 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.
WT6×85 measures 7 in. deep with a 12 5/8 in. flange, on a 15/16 in. web and 1 9/16 in. flanges.
At 85 lb per foot it is one of the 29 WT6 sizes, which run from 7 to 168 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 12.3 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 67.8 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 25.6 in³.
