Advance Sections

This app from Tata Steel gives you access to Blue Book data for design to BS5950 or EC3.

It is an abridged version of the electronic Blue Book, giving users access to section property and member capacity information through iPhones, iPod and iPad.

Section properties are available for the full range of Tata Steel profiles, which can be sorted by depth, weight, plastic section modulus or inertia. Member capacities are available for UKBs, UKCs and UKPFCs for effective lengths of 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10m and can be sorted by buckling resistance moment or compression resistance.

Navigation is simple, with users able to swipe seamlessly between properties and capacities. A simple tab at the bottom of the screen presents data to either BS5950 or EC3.
