[YOO1]

Can anybody tell me the properties for 16B61 ? And if I have more where can I find these info.

Thanks

Most all older US shapes can be found here:

http://www.aisc.org/store/p-1535-de...ilitation-and-retrofit-guide-a-reference.aspx

Not sure of publications in other countries but that shape looks like an old US beam.

I looked in AISC there was no 16B61; there's a 16Ba at 60.5 #/LF - shown below. The next closest were W=58 & 63

I am Very Very sorry it was 24 B 61.

Nothing to be sorry about.

I couldn't find 24 B 61 in the AISC database. What's the depth of the beam? Is it 24" or 27"? According to AISC "B" is a Carnegie beam; I looked in an old Carnegie Steel manual cicra 1920 and they have two ways of designating beams, one is called "Section Index". I found a 27" beam at 90 #/LF that was designated as "B61". The properties are posted below:
