Old Column Size
Old Column Size
(OP)
I have existing building plans, and a column schedule that lists diameters.
A note at the bottom of the column schedule reads "All cols. are conc. filled H.W. steel pipe columns.".
Does anyone know what H.W. steel pipe columns are, and have any information on them? Drawings are dated 1956.

Heavy wall
Got it on the first try
RE: Old Column Size
An associate has the AISC 5th Edition, and he said there was no mention of heavy wall steel pipe. The pipe listed are standard, extra strong, and double extra strong.
Does anyone have a guess as to what the wall thickness of heavy wall steel pipe might be?
Then again, the design also says "concrete filled", so maybe the original designer just used some concrete filled well casings for his/her columns.
