IAS, 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 180x80x4.75 steel profile weighs 12.1 kg/m (8.13 lb/ft), has a depth of 180 mm (7.09 in), flange width 80 mm (3.15 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,540.781 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 756.459 cm⁴, Iy = 94.973 cm⁴.
