Member Properties

For specification of member properties, either the steel section library available in STAAD.Pro or user-provided table sections may be used.

For code check and Section optimization, the Chinese Steel Design workflow supports:

Chinese - Rolled Steel table
- I shapes
- H shapes
- T shapes
- Channels
- Double Channels
- Angles
- Double Angles
- Tube
- Pipe
User-defined table
- composite sections

Note: Prismatic sections and other special composite section can only be used with the Code Check facility. Furthermore, the design of laced and battened members is not considered. The program does not support the design of tapered section profiles per Chinese code.
