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 60x30x4.75 steel profile weighs 3.9 kg/m (2.61 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 495.781 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 24.338 cm⁴, Iy = 4.019 cm⁴.
