ExSteel roll forms a wide range of cee and zee sections for use in building applications or to replace hot rolled sections. Sizes range from 4 1/2 to 16 inches deep with flange
widths from 2 to 3 1/2 inches and thicknesses from 16 ga. (0.06 in) to 10 ga. (0.135 in). An infinite choice of sizes between those listed are also available. This design table only
includes standard section sizes that are typically manufactured by ExSteel.
1. Section properties are in accordance with 2004 NAS - Canada (LSD) for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.

ExSteel roll forms a wide range of cee and zee sections for use in building applications or to replace hot rolled sections. Sizes range from 114 to 406 mm inches deep with
flange widths from 51 to 89 mm and thicknesses from 16 ga. (1.52mm) to 10 ga. (3.42mm). An infinite choice of sizes between those listed are also available. This design table
only includes standard section sizes that are typically manufactured by ExSteel.
1. Section properties are in accordance with 2004 NAS - Canada (LSD) for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.

1. Loads are based on steel conforming to G40.21 or ASTM A1011/A1011M.
2. Member resistances are in accordance with 2004 NAS - Canada (LSD) for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
3. Values have been calculated assuming no effect from cold work of forming.
4. Users of data contained in these tables assume all liability arising from such use.
Fy = 379 MPa = minimum specified yield strength Vr = factored shear resistance
Lu = calculated maximum unbraced length to achieve fully braced member capacities Kx = Ky = Kt = 1.0
Mr = factored effective moment resistance for unbraced length less than or equal to Lu Cb = 1.0
Mr’ = factored effective moment resistance based on unsupported length Pr 102mm = 102mm bearing web crippling resistance
Cr’ = factored compressive resistance for a fully braced member Pr 203mm = 203mm bearing web crippling resistance
R = Average bend radius (all values calculated based on 4.8mm bend radius)
