Steel Angles - Major and minor Axes properties

[csd72]

Does anyone know where I can find a table giving the major and minor axes properties for Angles?

The manual of steel construction only gives rz from which I can calculate Iz and Iw, but calculating the distances to centroids (and therefore Sz and Sw)is a real pain.

Which country's steel sections? I am a Canadian engineer working in New Zealand, and may be able to help you out either way. Pretty sure the CISC S16 has a table that will help you out (and the Canadian sections are the same rolled shapes as the US ones).

In New Zealand and Australia, it is typically suppliers who will provide property tables; I actually have a very good on from Steel & Tube.

Just had to point out that you can't assume that everyoe will know the context you're speaking from when you're posting to the internet.

Will check back to see if I can be of help.

Thanks YS,

It is the USA steel sections that I am looking for the properties for. I cant seem to find section properties on the canadian site.

In NZ/Australia it is easy to find the info I am looking for.

When does skiing season start over there?

Perhaps I'm missing something.

Sz is in the 13th Edition Manual.

I did hear that these are being revised for the 14th Ed. Manual, though. Apparently, the assumed leg tip radius makes a surprisingly large difference in Sz.

Look in the first site below, under Beams -> Cross sections -> Angles
