CHANNEL/DIMENSIONS

[LovinLife]

Can anyone tell me what the inside dimensions are on a 10" x 2.886 x .526 pc. of structural channel. Is there somewhere on the internet that lists these as well as for other sizes? Thanks everyone.

Channels are named by "depth x weight/foot" (in the USA). If you have that designation it would help you or others find it.

That is got to be C10x25. the T is 8"

The channel you are talking about is a C10x25. What "inside dimensions" are you particularly looking for? Are your referring to the fillet at the intersection of the web and the flanges?

Anyways, look into this website

http://www.webcivil.com

Look under Steel(US).

Sorry. Yes the weight is 25lbs.ft.
I haven't went to the webcivil site yet but yes I'm looking for fillet and angles.
Thank you.

TVS1962,

I have an old edition of the ASD Manual of Steel Construction. Under Dimensions and Properties, it says, "American Standard channels (C) have a slope of approximately 16 2/3% (2 in 12") on their inner flange surfaces."

It also says, "The properties of these rolled shapes are based on the smallest theoretical size fillets produced; dimensions for detailing are based on the largest theoretical size fillets produced. These properties are either exact or slightly conservative for all producers who offer them."

Better grab a hold of the Manual. In there you will find "k" for a particular channel size. "k" is the distance from outer face if flange to web toe of fillet of rolled shape. For a C10x25, k = 1". The "T" dimension specified by COEngineeer is the difference between the depth (d) of the channel and 2 times "k" (i.e. for C10x25, 10"-2(1")=8" )

Thanks to all of you for the help.
