Note
The parameters noted below signify the sectional components of a built-up section. The allowable stress reduction factor for built-up sections is reflected in strength verification according to AISC-ASD89. If unchecked, rolled sections are applied.
H: Section height (depth)
B1: Width of first flange
tw: Thickness of web
tf1: Thickness of first flange
B2: Width of the second flange
tf2: Thickness of second flange
