1. Tabulated values are in accordance with ICC-ES ESR-5019 and AISI-S100-16, the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. 2. Tabulated gross properties, including torsional properties, are based on the full unreduced cross section of the profiles, away from the punched holes and slots. 3. For deflection calculations, use the effective moment of inertia. 4. Allowable moment is the lesser of M a and M ad
. 5. C. G. is the center of gravity of the profile cross-section.
