Shapes Database v16.0
The AISC Shapes Database v16.0 (Version 16.0) is a Microsoft Excel table including section dimensions and properties consistent with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 16th Edition. AISC Shapes Database v16.0 replaces v15.0. U.S. customary and metric units are both included.

Major improvements in v16.0 include:
- Dimensions and properties included for the 222 new shapes added to the 16th Edition AISC Steel Construction Manual
- A new "Readme" included in the spreadsheet that serves as the glossary of the variables and provides a complete list of the new shapes added to v16.0
An electronic Shapes Database for ASTM A1085/A1085M rectangular, square, and round HSS can be downloaded here.
The AISC Shapes Database v16.0 follows the EDI Naming Convention for Standard Structural Shapes and Other Products. This naming convention facilitates the electronic interchange of information in structural steel design and construction by standardizing the electronic descriptions used to identify standard structural steel shapes and other steel products.
Historic Shapes Database v16.0H
The AISC Historic Shapes Database v16.0H replaces the v15.0H and now includes all section dimensions and properties consistent with the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 15th 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, Rehabilitation and Retrofit). Thus, this database is the compilation of all of the structural steel shape dimensions and properties recorded by AISC from the year 1873 to 2016.
