C10×25 channel

Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.

C10×25 measures 10 in. deep with a 2 7/8 in. flange and a 1/2 in. web.

At 25 lb per foot it is one of the 4 C10 sizes, which run from 15.3 to 30 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 18.2 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 91.1 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 23.1 in³.
