C10×30 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.
C10×30 measures 10 in. deep with a 3 in. flange and a 11/16 in. web.
At 30 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 4 C10 sizes, which run from 15.3 to 30 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 20.7 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 103 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 26.7 in³.
