Structural Steel Takeoff — AISC Shapes (U.S.)

Member list by AISC designation: weight taken from the designation for W, HP, M, S, C, MC and tee shapes; entered for angles, HSS and pipe. Totals by shape, allowance for connections, pounds and short tons. CSI MasterFormat 05 12 00.

Members

One member line each: mark, AISC designation, length (ft), count — and lb/ft only for L, round HSS or pipe

Allowance for connections and miscellaneous %

The allowance is project-specific (connection material, base plates, miscellaneous steel); no default is assumed. Angle, round HSS and pipe weights must come from the AISC Manual. Square and rectangular HSS weight uses the NOMINAL wall — AISC B4.2's 0.93 design wall applies to section properties, not to weight.

AISCShapes Database: the second number of W, HP, M, S, C, MC and tee designations is the nominal weight in lb/ft. CSI MasterFormat 05 12 00 (05 12 23 Structural Steel for Buildings).

VerifiedNominal weight ≈ 3.40 × area for nine published shapes (W and the HP14 series) within 1.2 %; decimal designations such as M8X6.5 and C12X20.7 read correctly.
