Buildings are constructed using components, i.e. standard steel beams, masonry block, timber sections, reinforcing bars, bolts and connectors. Along with these are allowable stress grades such as A36 steel, Douglas-Fir #1 timbers, or 24F-V8 glued laminated beams.

 

The Structural Engineering Library contains a databases of section properties for common structural steel sections, timber sections (including manufactured lumber), and timber stresses by gradation and species.
