WT8×13 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.
WT8×13 measures 7 3/4 in. deep with a 5 1/2 in. flange, on a 1/4 in. web and 3/8 in. flanges.
At 13 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 11 WT8 sizes, which run from 13 to 50 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 4.09 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 23.5 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 7.36 in³.
