How to Use torsional constant "J" in AISC-13th to get torsional stres?
(OP)
I know for many AISC steel shape, torsional constant "J" differs graetly from polar moment of inertia. But are we supposed to use torsional constant "J" in AISC-13th steel shape the same way as polar moment of inertia to get the torsional stress of a AISC steel shape, i.e. Tau=T*r/J?
Thanks a lot!

It is a little more complicated than that for open shapes like W-Flanges and Channels
