• Compact, Non-Compact, and Slender Sections.
• Yielding.
• Web Local Buckling and Flange Local Buckling.
• LTB and Cb Factor.
• I-Shaped and Channels Subject to Major Flexure.
• Square and Rectangular HSS, and Box.
• Round HSS.
• Tees and Double Angles.
• Single Angles.
• Rectangular and Round Bars.
• Unsymmetric Shapes.
• Proportioning Limits for I-Shaped Members.
• Members with Cover Plates.
• Built-Up Beams.
• Unbraced Length for Moment Redistribution.

Design for Shear.

• Webs with No Tension Field, and Webs with Tension Field.
• I-Shaped and Channels Subject to Major Shear.
• Single Angle and Tees.
• Rectangular HSS, Box Sections, and Other Symmetric Sections.

• Design of Transverse Stiffeners.

Design for Combined Forces and Torsion.

• Symmetric Sections Subject to Flexure and Axial.
• Unsymmetric Sections Subject to Flexure and Axial.
• HSS Subject to Combined Torsion, Shear, Flexure, and Axial Force.
• Non-HSS Subject to Torsion and Combined Stresses.
