AISC

Shapes Database v15.0

The AISC Shapes Database version 15.0 (v15.0) replaces v14.1 and contains electronic access to section dimensions and properties consistent with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 15th Edition. U.S. customary and metric units are both included. The AISC Shapes Database Version 15.0 is available in Microsoft Excel format.

Major improvements in v15.0 include:

  • Dimensions and properties included for the 76 new shapes added to the 15th Edition Manual
  • New dimensions including the "T" and "Workable Gage" values printed in the Manual
  • New "Readme" included in the spreadsheet that serves as the glossary of the variables and provides a complete list of improvements for v15.0

The AISC Shapes Database v15.0H (Historic) replaces the v14.1H and now includes all section dimensions and properties consistent with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 14th Edition. This resource provides electronic access to dimensions and properties of shapes published in the AISC Manual since the 5th Edition and shapes from before that era as originally published in the book Iron and Steel Beams 1873-1952 (the predecessor to AISC Design Guide 15, AISC Rehabilitation and Retrofit Guide).

Thus, this database is the compilation of all of the structural steel shape dimensions and properties recorded by AISC from the year 1873 to 2010.
