Universal Columns

Compact universal column sections with higher minor-axis capacity than many beam sections.

Size range: UC 4 x 4 to UC 14 x 16

Selection checks

For compression members, compare both axes and effective length assumptions before selecting by mass.

UC sections may also be used as beams, but connection geometry and flange width must be checked.

Confirm local supply and grade because heavier UC sizes can be less commonly stocked.
