16B26 Steel Beam?
16B26 Steel Beam?
(OP)
I have a building that was built around 1971 which has 16B26 wide flange roof beams. Anyone have material properties on this shape?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: 16B26 Steel Beam?
16B26 was the designation of a light beam in use around the 70's. His section properties are very similar to the W16X26.
An old Bethlehem booklet show the following properties:
Area = 7.65 in^2
Depth = 15.65"
Flange width = 5.500"
Flange ave. thickness = 0.345"
web thickness = 0.250"
d/Af = 8.25
Ix = 298.1 in^4
Sx = 38.1 in^3
rx = 6.24"
Iy = 8.71 in^4
Sy = 3.17 in^3
ry = 1.07"
This section is non-compact for ASTM A242, A440 and A441 steels.
Note the difference in the properties about the Y-axis between this section and the W16X26. I think it is due to the flange of the 16B26 being tapered.
