WT8X22.5

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

WT8X22.5 is a structural tee cut from a W-shape 205.0 mm deep with a 178.8 mm wide flange, weighing 33.5 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 WT8X22.5 the computed area is 0.97% from published and Ix 0.04%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
