w6x13.5
does anyone know the dimensions of a w6x13.5?  its a member in a roof truss in a really old building im doing work on.  i can't find it in the 7th, 8th or 9th editions of the aisc.  thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
check out our whitepaper library.
could it be a w16x15fff">.5?  these were included in the aisc steel manual up thru the 7th edition, and replaced with the w6x15 in the 8th edition.
well, the only way i'd really know is if i get in the roof and measure it.  the drawings say w6x13.5, but it could be a typo.
i did a search on the pdf copy of my aisc design guide 15 (aisc rehabilitation and retrofit guide) and only w6x15.5 came up.  as far back as 1953 there were no 13.5 beams in the us anyway.  where is the building located?
aisc's 'iron and steel beams 1873 to 1952' shows 12wf27 beams.
a=7.97"
d=11.96"
b=6.5"
web = .24"
oppps. sorry. it though you were looking for a wt section.
my bad.
the building is located in ogden utah.  i believe it was built around 1970.
could the typo be that it is a 'wt' member? not a 'w'   
ikjh345's comment seems most logical as i cannot find a w section of that size anywhere, but there is an "st 6 wf 13.5" listed in the 1949 edition of the 5th edition of the aisc manual:
a = 3.98
d = 5.98
wf = 6.5f = .400
t stem = .240
ixx = 11.4
sx = 2.39
rx = 1.69
yx = 1.21
iyy = 8.3
sy =2.55
ry = 1.44
sorry about that...should say:
...
wf = 6.5
tf = .400

if you are doing an analysis and you have access to the truss to take measurements, i would recommend doing so.  if you are just trying to determine approximate clearances within the truss, it is probably reasonable to assume the
