Database v15.0 AISC Shapes Database v15.0 is an update to Shapes Database v14.1. This version is consistent with shape properties and dimensions tabul Steel Construction Manual, 15th Edition, 1st Printing. The database contains some additional section properties that are not included in the A. Table Instructions Dimensions and properties for each shape are listed sequentially in a single row. The data in each column is as follows: Column in Variable Descriptiona Databasea A Type Shape type: W, M, S, HP, C, MC, L, WT, MT, ST, 2L, HSS, PIPE The shape designation according to the AISC Naming Convention for Structural Steel Products for Use in Ele EDI_ STD_ Interchange (EDI), June 25, 2001. This information is intended solely for the use of software developers to fac B (CG) Nomenclature electronic labeling of shape-specific data and electronic transfer of that data. The shape designation as seen in the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 15th Edition. The exception to this is AISC_ for double angles. There is a separate listing (row) for each back-to-back spacing and configuration. Therefor C (CH) Manual_ designation reflects these two variables. The listings for double angles follow the convention specified in the A Convention for Structural Steel Products for Use in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), June 25, 2001. Label Boolean variable. A true, T, value indicates that there is a special note for that shape (see below). A false, F, v that there are no special notes for that shape. Special notes: W-shapes: a value of T for: tf > 2 in. D T_F M-shapes: a value of T indicates that the shape has sloped flanges. WT-shapes: a value of T for: tf > 2 in MT-shapes: a value of T indicates that the shape has sloped flanges.
