4- C and MC shapes (Fig. 1.9) are American standard channels and miscellaneous
channels. The channel shapes are characterized by short flanges that have sloping
inner surfaces and depths to full inches. Their applications are usually as
components of built-up cross sections, bracing and tie members, and members that
frame openings.
