Cimagbo, cold-formed sections · Cold-formed Channel
Cold-formed channels (U shapes) are similar to C shapes but without stiffening lips. Used for light structural framing, supports, and secondary members.
The U 80x40x4 steel profile weighs 4.6 kg/m (3.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 80 mm (3.15 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 587.368 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 55.433 cm⁴, Iy = 8.95 cm⁴.
