IES ShapeDB 2.0.0

The database offers an extensive collection of over 18,000 structural shapes accompanied by detailed engineering properties. It supports fundamental stress analysis for beams and columns, making it a practical resource for field applications.

Materials included in the database encompass steel (both hot-rolled and cold-formed), wood (dimensional and engineered), aluminum, rebar, and cables.

The engineering properties provided cover cross-sectional area, section moduli, inertias, and graphical representations of dimensions.

The tool facilitates simple beam stress analysis under uniform and concentrated loads, enabling users to calculate bending stresses. It also incorporates AISC steel plastic moment capacities and brace length data for steel sections.

For columns, the database supports axial load assessments considering eccentricities, allowing for the calculation of combined stresses and slenderness ratios.
