Seismic WT Limiting Width/Thickness Ratios
Seismic WT Limiting Width/Thickness Ratios
(OP)
In the AISC Seismic Design Manual, pgs 1-13 to 1-16, there are tables and some discussion of different types of members and their limiting width-thickness ratios for seismic design based on what type of framing is used. W-shapes, angles, HSS, pipes, and gusset plates are covered, but no mention is made of WT shapes. Is it that no WT meets seismic w/t ratios? I don't find mention of them anywhere...

RE: Seismic WT Limiting Width/Thickness Ratios
Chapter 8 covers it.
