## Wide-flange (W) shapes

A W-shape is a hot-rolled, doubly symmetric wide-flange section commonly used for beams and columns. Its relatively wide flanges and web distribute material efficiently for many bending and axial-force applications.

## Hollow structural sections (HSS)

An HSS is a closed structural tube with square, rectangular, or round outside geometry. Closed sections provide useful biaxial and torsional behavior and are often selected for columns, braces, trusses, exposed framing, and space-conscious conditions.

## Single-angle (L) shapes

An L-shape is a hot-rolled angle with two perpendicular legs, which may be equal or unequal. Its unsymmetric geometry makes orientation and principal-axis behavior important in both design and detailing.

## Double-angle (2L) shapes

A 2L shape combines two angles with a defined orientation and separation. The pair may act as a built-up member, but its properties depend on the angle size, back-to-back arrangement, gap, connector pattern, and listed axis convention.

## American Standard channels (C)

A C-shape is a hot-rolled channel with one web and two flanges on the same side. Its singly symmetric, open geometry makes orientation, eccentricity, and torsion important considerations.

## Miscellaneous channels (MC)

An MC-shape is a hot-rolled miscellaneous channel whose proportions differ from the standard C series. It remains an open, singly symmetric section and should be identified by its exact designation and properties.

## Wide-flange structural tees (WT)

A WT is a structural tee produced from a W-shape. It has one flange and a stem, so its properties, shear center, connection behavior, and fabrication orientation differ from the parent wide-flange section.

## Structural pipe sections

A PIPE entry describes a circular section using nominal pipe size and a schedule or weight class. Its outside diameter may remain constant across schedules while wall thickness, inside diameter, weight, and properties change.

## American Standard beams (S)

An S-shape is a hot-rolled, doubly symmetric beam with proportions and flange geometry different from a W-shape. It is identified by nominal depth and weight per foot.

## Miscellaneous beams (M)

An M-shape is a miscellaneous doubly symmetric section that does not fit the standard W or S series proportions. The exact AISC record—not the nominal depth alone—defines its geometry and properties.

## Bearing-pile (HP) shapes

An HP-shape is a hot-rolled bearing-pile section proportioned for driven foundation service. Its geometry is intended to perform as a pile and differs from ordinary building-column selection even when the cross-section looks similar to a wide-flange shape.
