For our office we have 1 hard copy and 1 digital edition of the 14th manual, this is mainly because we wanted a digital steel book manual and we always want a hard copy of our texts. Depends on what you want to do with them. SLBB = Short legs back-to-back for double angles LLBB = Long legs back-to-back for double angles Ro(bar) = Polar radius of gyration about the shear center = SQRT(xo^2+yo^2+(Ix+Iy)/A) (in.) Yo = y-coordinate of shear center with respect to the centroid of the section (in.) Xo = x-coordinate of shear center with respect to the centroid of the section (in.) Y(bar) = Distance from outside face of outside face of flange of WT or angle leg to Y-axis (in.)Įo = Horizontal distance from the outer edge of a channel web to its shear center (in.) = (approx.) tf*(d-tf)^2*(bf-tw/2)^2/(4*Ix)-tw/2 X(bar) = Distance from outside face of web of channel shape or outside face of angle leg to Y-axis (in.) Qw = Statical moment at the mid-depth of the section (in.^3) Qf = Statical moment for a point in the flange directly above the vertical edge of the web (in.^3) Sw = Warping statical moment at a point on the cross section (in.^4) Wno = Normalized warping function at a point at the flange edge (in.^2) G = Shear modulus of elasticity of steel = 11,200 ksi J = Torsional moment of inertia of member (in.^4)Ĭ = Torsional constant for HSS shapes (in.^3)Ī = Torsional property, a = SQRT(E*Cw/G*J) (in.)Į = Modulus of elasticity of steel = 29,000 ksi Ho = Distance between centroid of flanges, d-tf (in.) Yp = vertical distance from designated member edge to plastic neutral axis (in.) Xp = horizontal distance from designated member edge to plastic neutral axis (in.) Zy = Plastic section modulus of member taken about Y-axis (in.^3) Zx = Plastic section modulus of member taken about X-axis (in.^3) Ry = Radius of gyration of member taken about Y-axis (in.) = SQRT(Iy/A) Sy = Elastic section modulus of member taken about Y-axis (in.^3) Iy = Moment of inertia of member taken about Y-axis (in.^4) Rx = Radius of gyration of member taken about X-axis (in.) = SQRT(Ix/A) Sx = Elastic section modulus of member taken about X-axis (in.^3) Ix = Moment of inertia of member taken about X-axis (in.^4) Gage = Standard gage (bolt spacing) for member (in.) (Note: gages for angles are available by viewing comment box at cell K18.) T = Distance between fillets for wide-flange or channel shape = d(nom)-2*k(det) (in.) K1 = Distance from web centerline to flange toe of fillet (in.) K = Distance from outer face of flange to web toe of fillet (in.) H = Depth of member, parallel to Y-axis (in.)īf = Width of flange of member, parallel to X-axis (in.)ī = Width of member, parallel to X-axis (in.) NOMENCLATURE FOR AISC VERSION 14.1 MEMBER PROPERTIES AND DIMENSIONS:Ī = Cross-sectional area of member (in.^2)ĭ = Depth of member, parallel to Y-axis (in.) Here is a link to the website where the source database file can be found: This workbook is based on the "AISC Shapes Database" Version 14.1 (October 2013), and has the same look as the ones that I did based on earlier AISC shapes database/manual versions. Not sure on the printing, the AISC website should have that info.
