Design capacity tables for structural steel based on SNI 03-1729-2002: built-up sections

Structural steel is commonly used as construction material. In designing structural steel, practitioners typically use the steel
section properties table to obtain the necessary data needed to calculate the nominal strength of the selected section. The
commercially available section properties tables in Indonesia typically list the weight, section area, inertia, radius of gyration, and
section modulus of the commercially available steel sections. In many cases, it is not uncommon for built-up sections to be used
as structural members. The section properties of these built-up sections are not readily available in the aforementioned section
properties table. A series of tables have been developed to enlist the section properties of the built-up sections that are commonly
used in Indonesia. Moreover, these tables also provide the nominal strength of the built-up sections with respect to several loads,
i.e. tension, compression, bending, and shear. These nominal capacities will enable the practitioners to design built-up structural
steel sections more easily and efficiently.
