WT18X326

Structural Tee (from W) · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States

WT18X326 is a structural tee cut from a W-shape 520.7 mm deep with a 447.0 mm wide flange, weighing 485.1 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.

WT tees are W-shapes split at mid-depth — common truss chords and hangers, tabulated for the cut section.

Derived section properties

Integrated from a square-cornered outline — the fillet radii this family really has are not drawn, so the computed values differ slightly from published. For WT18X326 the computed area is 0.50% from published and Ix 0.29%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
