NOTES FOR 24 & 16 GAUGE SHAPES:

1.  Section properties per 1986 AISI Specifications with compression flange braced against lateral buckling.

2. Net section properties are used for resisting moment determination and allowable shear loads.

3. Maximum bending stress=24 ksi for 24 gauge shapes and 30ksi for 16 gauge shapes, unless reduced from compliance with referenced code.

4. E = 29,500 ksi.

5. Values are for upward and downward loads.

6. T.I.C. = Top in Compression.

7. B.I.C. = Bottom in Compression.
