AISC 360-16 C-Section Analysis Guide

This document summarizes the structural analysis of a C-section channel. It includes: 1) Geometric properties of the cross-section like dimensions, areas, moments of inertia, product of inertia, radii of gyration, and shear center. 2) Calculations of the section's tension and compression capacities according to AISC 360-16 specifications, including yield tension, rupture tension, and flexural and torsional buckling capacities. 3) The section qualifies as non-slender and its buckling capacities are controlled by either elastic or inelastic buckling depending on the axis and applied load.
