Section Classification Table - CISC

Section Classification Table - CISC

RE: Section Classification Table - CISC

Why don't you get the most current one?

(OP)
I will, if it is any different than what i have.

RE: Section Classification Table - CISC

So this whole exercise is just for the purpose of saving you the cost of purchasing the latest code? Don't you think that is a little inconsiderate?

(OP)
Not really, eventually I will be buying the code, waiting on the CSA S16-14 to come out, I actually have the PDF of S16-14 and the tables show the classifications in Table 1 and 2 however there is no sketch of sections. I just like to see when classifying the stem of a T section based on the latest code which will be on the 10th Ed. is it d/tw (d=depth) or d-tf/tw (tf=thickness of flange)
This is the point I am not sure of, therefore I wanted to see what the latest code is showing for stem of a T section. I hope I answered all your questions and you will be able answer mine :)

RE: Section Classification Table - CISC

I can't answer your question because I don't have the latest CISC either; from what you say, it is not yet available, so it is unlikely that anyone on this forum will have it.

If your only concern is whether to use d or d-tw, use the more conservative value of 'd' until you procure the new code; I can't imagine that it makes much difference to your calculations.

Oops,
d-tw = d-tf

I reviewed some shop drawings last week that referenced S16-14 so I looked it up and it appeared that it was available for purchase...

RE: Section Classification Table - CISC

S16-14 itself is available from CSA, however the CISC manual including the S16 commentary is not available as yet. It usually lags the publication of the specification by about a year.

RE: Section Classification Table - CISC

It will be the projection of the stem (d-t.f) divided by the thickness of the stem (t.w)

Thank you all...

RE: Section Classification Table - CISC

(OP)
Hey guys, I have another questions.
Pease see CSA S16-14 13.6(e)

For a class 3 tee section, is Mp supposed to be replaced with My? I think it is but want to confirm.
