H-pile dimensions from 1960s
H-pile dimensions from 1960s
(OP)
On construction drawings from the early 1960s, there is a note referring to all piles in this section to be "12"B.P. at 53 pounds". Are these BP 12x53 H-piles? Can somebody give me dimensions for this pile? Depth, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness, steel grade? I believe it would come from the 1956 AISI Steel Construction Manual.
Thank you in advance if you can help.

Depth 11.780
Flange Width 12.046
Flange Thickness .436
Web Thickness .436
In the 7th edition, they began using the HP12x53 designation with the same dimensions

You should ask this in forum507: Structural engineering other technical topics. Its denizens are civil and structural engineers who are knowledgeable about stuff like this. Double posting is frowned upon, so you should red flag your question here.

As for the current dimensions (13th Edition), the new depth is shown as 11.8", the web and flange thicknesses as .435", and the flange width as 12.0".
Basically the same for all intents and purposes.
