Aisc Manual Beam Tables
Does anybody out there use this table? I decided to check it out recently, but it doesn't seem to be very user friendly.

A few questions.Why do they bill it as a 'Uniform' load table when they give it to you in kips? Assuming it means kips/foot will give you a moment far higher than the allowable.What exactly is the Wc (Uniform load constant) and why is it in k-ft? I've never seen this variable before.

If there is some insight out there I'd love to hear it. RE: AISC Manual (13th Ed.) Table 3-6, Max.
Total Uniform Load (Structural) 20 Jun 12 14:20. Don't have the AISC handbook in front of me, but assuming it's the same concept as the CISC tables then it's expressing the total applied load (i.e. load/unit length x span ). So if you see 100kN as the load at a span of 2m it's a total load of 100kN spread uniformly over 2m or 50kN/m across the whole beam. I'm betting there's a series of diagrams in there somewhere that tell you what the equivalent tabular load is for a variety of different load conditions.
RE: AISC Manual (13th Ed.) Table 3-6, Max. Total Uniform Load (Structural) 20 Jun 12 18:59. I find every engineer uses these tables in one form or another. Recently I have been asked by fabricators to design connections for given project and every send of engineering drawings references using 1/2 UDL to design connections on beams where the load is not given at the end of the beam. It's frustrating to have a 3' long W12x14 that has a UDL of 85.6k meaning I need to design the connection to resist 42.8 kips. All the answers to the questions you are asking can be found on page 3-27. RE: AISC Manual (13th Ed.) Table 3-6, Max.
