Old Steel Shape Designations

Old Steel Shape Designations

(OP)
Where can I find section properties of old B sections?  Was the B designation replaced by the WF designation (and then just W)?  Is there an online database of old shapes?

RE: Old Steel Shape Designations

Here is a FAQ in this section which might provide a source of information: FAQ507-25.

To my knowledge there are no online databases for old sections.

RE: Old Steel Shape Designations

Book "AISC Iron ans Steel Beams 1873 to 1952" is available for $30 + S&H from www.aisc.org

I do not know any sites with this info.

If you need one or two shapes e-mail me at MGinsburg@leoadaly.com

RE: Old Steel Shape Designations

Got to the Bethlehem Steel web site and check out their archive section. There is a good database with names and properties of old steel shapes etc.
