Question

Compute the dimensions of the rectangle shown in Fig. (b) that has the same k¯x and k¯y as the W8 × 67 section in Fig. (a). (See Prob. 9.13 for properties of W8 × 67.) 

Answer: b = 7.35 in., h = 12.87 in

Figure (a) shows the cross section of a column that uses a structural
shape known as W8 x 67 (wide-flange beam, nominally 8 in. deep, weighing
67 Ib/ft). The American Institute of Steel Construction Structural Steel Handbook
lists the following cross-sectional properties: A = 19.7 in.?, I, = 272 in.“, and
1, = 88.6 in.
0.933 in.
Web
9 in.
0.575 in.
