Finding the steel member properties is the daily work for a structural engineer. However, there are several design manuals like AISC 13th/14th/15th and hundred pages to check. The Member Property Calculator in CET.Calculators simplifies the process. Users only select the section type and section size and member section properties will show. Also users can open several windows for the Member Property Calculator and compare the member section properties. So far, W-Shapes, Angles and Rectangular HSS are supported. We will add other section types soon.
Besides, the Member Property Calculator will calculate the Lp, Lr, Mpx, Mrx and Vn values for users (W-Shapes only). This is very useful because the tables in AISC manuals only cover the case Fy = 50 ksi. The Member Property Calculator will calculate more cases and users could copy the results/equations to other places by markdown/latex format. Especially, for some non-compact members, like W8x12, the Member Property Calculator provides the detailed calculations for Lp, such as:
