WT6X39.5

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

WT6X39.5 is a structural tee cut from a W-shape 157.2 mm deep with a 307.3 mm wide flange, weighing 58.8 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 WT6X39.5 the computed area is 1.22% from published and Ix 0.11%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
