AISC's Structural Steel Shapes

Structural steel design  is an area of knowledge of structural engineering where we used to design steel structures. The structures can range from schools to homes to bridges. Structures such as buildings, bridges, aircraft and ships are all examples which comes under steel structure. 

The effects  cause on structure due to application of load is determine through structural analysis Strength of materials is the branch of engineering which deals with the study of structural design. Engineering software such as STADD Pro, TEKLA , SACS, ANSYS  etc.  are used to analyze their strength. 

Basically  Steel structure is steel construction material with a unique  profile and  a specific shape or cross section with certain standards of chemical composition and mechanical properties.

The American Institute of Steel Construction (AI SC), Inc. publishes the Steel Construction Manual (Steel construction manual, or SCM), which is currently in its 14th edition. Structural engineers use this manual in analyzing, and designing various steel structures.

The mentioned link will give you the complete description of AISC 's structural steel shapes in the US  and will provide you the reference to determine the availability and engineering design data of specific structural steel shapes.

  1. We want to build a large steel garage on my land. I have been researching how to properly estimate the structural engineering, but it is a lot more advanced than I realized. I am going to look into finding a professional who utilizes the software that you mentioned such as Stadd Pro, TEKLA, SACS, or ANSYS. https://bigboss-estimating.ca/
