WT Design analysis with stem in Compression
WT Design analysis with stem in Compression
(OP)
Checking a as-built WT18X80 in a vertical position that spans 10'-0", laterally loaded at center (5'-0") with a 7k concentrated load. The load is applied through the stem with a pin that connects through a 6" diameter hole centered @ 13" below the flange. Conservatively designing the tee as having a depth of 10" is what I have decided. Scratching my head ... Anybody with a suggestion or opinion to raise my comfort level?

Certainly, your ten inch stem assumption should work too if you can make a go of it. How big is the pin that passes through this six inch hole? Does the pin assembly LTB brace the WT?
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
