Steel Channel Identification
Steel Channel Identification
(OP)
We're evaluating an existing structure that was reinforced with channel that I'd like to identify. It's very heavy and not in any AISC books that I have. Data is limited here. The last attachment shows what appears to say 'MP303' while pointing to a channel in a similar preliminary design. But searches on that have lead me nowhere.
Anyone ever run across a shape like this before? Worst case I'll calc out the properties for this evaluation. But now I'm curious if there are some shapes out there that I could use otherwise.

I don't see any historical or common channel sections this thick.
