Steel Section Properties
Steel Section Properties
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to find section properties for an I-Beam that looks like a S section with tapered flanges with d=27" and b=10.125"
The flange thickness goes from 0.68 to 0.96 inches.
My guess is that the building is about 70 years old. A quick search of historical data wasn't much help.the S sizes go up to 24 inches only.
Can anyone direct me to any other publications or references.
Thanks

You see, this was one of the sections. I have another that is not as easier match as this one.
It has a d=18" and bf=11.875" with tf=o.71 to 1.09"
The edge of flanges taper quickly to zero.

Out of curiosity, is the database program you are using available to everyone or is part of a different/structural program package?

freely available to anyone from the link in my signature, it's built off of the 14th edition excel files AISC provided for free looks like they have updated to the 15th edition on their site now.

In your last response you indicated you would be posting the shapes database program but haven't seen it yet. Anyway, I have one more set of dimensions for an I-beam which I can't find a good match for. Perhaps you can help.
The measured dimensions are as follows:
d = 20"
bf = 12"
tf = 0.73"
Thanks

I put them on Github links to each file below:

should be able to download them individually from those links.

Thank you for posting the program. It worked very well and does save a great deal of time.
Thank you again.
