Wide Flange Call Out from 1940's
Wide Flange Call Out from 1940's
(OP)
I'm looking at plans from a bridge built in the 40's and the way they called out their wide flanges is: 1- 14" x 8" WF @ 48#. I'm assuming the tick marks are correct as it is hand drafted and scanned making it not entirely readable. How would I compare that to today's nomenclature?

Verify the flange you read from today's tables for a WF14 at 48 lbs/ft is actually "close to" 8 inches across.
Don't expect the actual inches (the decimal places) for web height nor flange width to be exact.
