Beams
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover Beams. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- Structural Steel Framing
The hot-rolled structural steel frame of a building or structure designed by the Engineer of Record under ANSI/AISC 360: wide-flange beams, girders, and columns, hollow structural sections and pipe used as columns, braces, and beams, channels, angles, tees, plates, and bars, built-up members, crane runway beams, and the headed shear stud connectors, stiffeners, column base plates, and stabilizer plates furnished with them. Covers the material grade for each shape family, the material provisions the seismic force-resisting system imposes on members, fabricator and erector qualification, shop and erection drawings, cutting, hole forming, straightening, cambering, and member marking, architecturally exposed structural steel categories, the shop coating system and its boundary with applied fireproofing and field finishes, erection planning, temporary bracing, column base setting, erection tolerances and the post-erection survey, field touch-up, delivery and storage, and the warranty for the structural steel.
