Channel Steel Member Capacity Based on AISC 360-05

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

CHANNEL SIZE C12X30
STEEL YIELD STRESS Fy = 36 ksi

AXIAL COMPRESSION FORCE P= 10 kips, ASD

STRONG AXIS EFFECTIVE LENGTH KLx = 20 ft
WEAK AXIS EFFECTIVE LENGTH KLy = 10 ft

STRONG AXIS BENDING MOMENT Mrx = 13 ft-kips, ASD

STRONG AXIS BENDING UNBRACED LENGTH Lb = 20 ft, (AISC 360-05 F2.2.c)
STRONG DIRECTION SHEAR LOAD, ASD Vstrong = 77 kips

WEAK AXIS BENDING MOMENT Mry = 2 ft-kips, ASD

WEAK DIRECTION SHEAR LOAD, ASD Vweak = 35 kips

THE DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.
