W6x15.5

W6x15.5

(OP)
Does anyone have section properties for a W6x15.5?  I only have the AISC 13th edition.  Any help would be much appreciated.

RE: W6x15.5

From the ASD7 database in AISC search utility:

A=4.56
d=6.00
tw=0.235
bf=5.995
tf=0.269
Ix=30.1
Iy=9.67

RE: W6x15.5

There are at least 5 versions of this beam from the AISC Iron and Steel Beams catalogue, and even my AISC Fifth Edition shows slightly different values here for the same beam.  But you will be in the ballpark with the above numbers.
