MC10×22 MC 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.

MC10×22 measures 10 in. deep with a 3 3/8 in. flange and a 5/16 in. web.

At 22 lb per foot it is one of the 7 MC10 sizes, which run from 6.5 to 41.1 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 20.5 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 102 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 23.9 in³.
