I am following AASHTO LRFD (1998) section 6.9.2. I need to define Mr.

In the LFRD code (1998) article 6.12.1 refers to H-shaped members. What the devil is being referred to here? Is this an I-shape that we've renamed after turning it on its side?

I probably need double or triple stiffeners for this particular bridge. Is the above section the place for defining the flexural resistance? The buckling/stifness code provisions in this code make me dizzy!![dazed]
