Description
Decades of steel shapes data. One powerful app.
Steel Shapes brings the complete AISC Structural Steel Database to your fingertips - now updated with the latest Version 16 library, rebuilt from the ground up with powerful new features engineers will love.
Whether you're on a job site, in the office, or at your desk, every structural shape property from the AISC database is right there when you need it: geometric and mechanical properties, design and detailing values, and instant unit conversion between imperial and metric - all in a fast, clean interface.
---WHAT'S INCLUDED
Complete AISC library coverage across every major edition:
• Version 16 & 16-SI (latest)
• Versions 13 through 15
• LRFD 1st – 3rd Edition
• ASD 5th – 9th Edition
• Historic shapes
---NEW IN THIS VERSION
FILTER BY PROPERTIES
Find exactly what you need. Set criteria across any property - weight, depth, moment of inertia, and more - and instantly narrow down the list. Example: "WT or ST sections with weight less than 200 lbs/ft and depth between 10–20 in."
BOOKMARKS
Build a personal library of frequently used shapes, saved across all editions in one place.
SHARE & PRINT
Export any section's full property sheet as a PDF - ready to share, attach, or print directly from the app.
---CORE FEATURES
UNIT SWITCHING
Toggle between English and SI units instantly. Every property updates in one tap.
SORTING
Rank any shape list by any property - find the lightest W-section or the deepest HSS in seconds.
QUICK SEARCH
Flexible search that understands how engineers type. "W16 x 89", "W16x89", or "W1689" all find the same section.
METRIC EQUIVALENCIES
Nearly 2000 shapes with their imperial / metric equivalent designations, one tap away.
The most complete AISC reference app available.
