I am unable to locate any W6x shape in Table 3-2 of the AISC 15 ed.

While the section properties are listed in Table 1-1 but not in Section 3.
I am trying to get the Lp and Lr values to check the capacity of the section.

Older versions of the AISC manual provide the unbraced length for lateral torsional buckling.

I'm disappointed to hear that. I thought they were bringing the small beam values back in the 15th edition.

I'm still using the 14th edition; and the tabulated values (+ charts) for the small beams are definitely missing from the 14th.

I purchased a used 2nd edition from ebay for the small beam values. The only other option is to do the full calculations.
