Steel channels section properties

[Pilgrim2]

Hi!

Does anybody have a link to a WEB site where I can find full geometrical properties of steel channels (radiuses, slopes….)? I could not find it :-(

Thank a lot in advance!

Thanks man but this site doesn't have what I looking for - raduises, slopes.... :-( i.e. all geometrical description of a profile

My personal favorite is

http://www.xcalcs.com/

no charge, just print your stuff when you're done since it's open domain

Enjoy

Thanks Sprintcar! Very good link! But the smallest channel is C6x8.2 and I need C4 description :-( Anyway thanks for help!

I think you can email the folks at Xcalc and they will add the info for you

The slope on all the American standard channels is the same, I believe 1:6.

Radiuses vary by manufacturer, I understand. AISC books tabulate properties based on the minimum radius, and show clearance dimensions based on the maximum radius, if I remember correctly.

I suppose if you're energetic enough, you could work backwards through the properties and derive the radius from the tabulated I and S.

I don't recall ever seeing if the "average thickness" that is tabulated is the average up to the web, or the average going all the way to the back of the channel.

This information should all be spelled out plainly in ASTM A36 or ASTM A6, but unfortunately, it isn't.
