Which is a beam 5 inches deep with a weight 9 lb ft. Industrial metal supply offers a full line of durable long lasting and versatile steel structural shapes including steel channel steel angle steel beams and steel tees. And a uniformly distributed live load of 550 lbs ft. Varma example 2 2 design a simply supported beam subjected to uniformly distributed dead load of 450 lbs ft.

Refer to part 4 beam and girder design of the aisc 2nd edition manual of steel construction load resistance factor design for a discussion of the design strength of beams. There are a variety of products that fall into the steel structural shape category and numerous uses for each different shape. C channels are designated by the letter c followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot. Hp bearing pile h shaped cross section have parallel flange surfaces and equal web and flange thicknesses.

Symbols used in these tables follow those used in the aisc manual. The structural channel also known as a c channel or parallel flange channel pfc is a type of usually structural steel beam used primarily in building construction and civil engineering its cross section consists of a wide web usually but not always oriented vertically and two flanges at the top and bottom of the web only sticking out on one side of the web.
