WT3X7.5

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

WT3X7.5 is a structural tee cut from a W-shape 76.2 mm deep with a 152.2 mm wide flange, weighing 11.2 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 WT3X7.5 the computed area is 1.06% from published and Ix 0.15%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.

S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
