Curved Channel:
- Many Power-Strut channel sections can be supplied with a curve. Click here for our ordering form, specifications, and instructions.
Load Data:
- All beam and column load data pertains to carbon steel and stainless steel channels.
- Load tables apply only to Power-Strut brand channel.
- Load tables and charts are constructed to be in accordance with the SPECIFICATION FOR THE DESIGN OF COLD-FORMED STEEL STRUCTURAL MEMBERS 2007 EDITION published by the AMERICAN IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE USING ASD METHOD.
- Loads are based on 33 ksi steel cold formed to 42 ksi.
- Safety Factor to Yield Strength is 1.67 for Beam Loads and 1.80 for Column Loads.
- Beam loads are based on a simple beam and are given as a total uniform load (W) in pounds. For proper calculation procedures, refer to our Beam Load Calculation Guide.
- For bearing loads, reference our bearing loads page.
Welds:
- Welded channels are spot welded 2" (51 mm) or 3" (76 mm) on-center.
