Looking for Old Steel Channel Properties - Please Help
(OP)
I'm trying to find an old book or publication that would have old steel channel properties. I have found a few books/publications that have old steel shape properties, but they typically only have wide flange shapes.
The particular section I'm trying to find is a C8x4.7. This shape is spec'd on a set of plans from '79. The shape is not present in the 6th or 8th Ed's of the AISC steel manuals, but I do not have the 7th Edition to check.
If anyone has access to an old database of channels or if you could point me to the right place I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks,
Steve

The weight sounds like an aluminum channel to me. There is an Aluminum Association Standard Channel as follows:
8" depth, 3.5" x 0.38" flange, 0.21" web, 4.72 plf.
Alloy 6061-T6
