WT9×23 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.

WT9×23 measures 9 in. deep with a 6 in. flange, on a 3/8 in. web and 5/8 in. flanges.

At 23 lb per foot it is one of the 23 WT9 sizes, which run from 17.5 to 155.5 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 7.77 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 52.1 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 13.9 in³.
