Handbook Tables
Note: not all useful tables are mentioned here; these are some of the most directly applicable.
Note Note Note: be very, extremely, completely careful in the use of tables. Make sure you know exactly what is given. Read all text concerning the tables completely. For example, the Factored Moment Resistance of Columns table does not take into account the fact that high axial forces may change the class of a section from 2 to 3, in which case the table values will not be correct.
