Steel Profiles is the steel section reference for structural engineers, fabricators, detailers and contractors. Look up nearly 10,000 sections from six international standards, check them to Eurocode 3 or AISC 360, and keep your take-offs in sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
NEW IN 6.0
- Design checks to EN 1993-1-1 and AISC 360-22: classification, axial force, bending, shear, flexural and lateral-torsional buckling, beam-column interaction, with every formula shown
- Section Builder: welded I and box sections, built-up channels, tees and angles, plated beams, with full properties
- Bolts: metric M8 to M64 and imperial 1/2" to 1 1/2", with shear, tension, bearing and slip resistance
- Steel grades: EN 10025, EN 10210/10219, ASTM, CSA, AS/NZS and JIS, with strengths by thickness
- iCloud sync of favorites, projects and saved sections
- Bulb flats (HP) to EN 10067

FREE AND PAID
The free download includes dimensions for every library, the weight calculator, Section Builder, bolts, steel grades, the unit converter and iCloud sync. Unlock a library to see its full properties and run design checks on its sections, or get All Libraries for everything.
Results are design aids for preliminary sizing and must be verified by a qualified engineer.
Was a IW for 30 years mostly on a RAISING GANG”. BUT spent several years in the shop as A LAYOUT FITTER and wish I had this app. Now I have my own MOBILE WELDING RIG and I just love it. Saves time & materials when detailing my own jobs.

Neither App are loading on iPhone 14 with the latest iOS. Developer please advise why. My iOS is updated to current version.
Developer Response
Sorry about that, and thank you for reporting it. Both apps have been rebuilt since then: Steel Profiles 6.0 and Steel Profiles Pro run on current iPhones and iPads and add design checks, bolt and material tables and iCloud sync. If anything still fails on your device, please write to support@theolternative.com and we will fix it.
A lot of detailed info
Riobuild
This app offers more info than most construction industry professionals will ever need in one place on your mobile device.
- NEW: Preview the full properties of any section for free, up to three sections a day
- Unlock a library in one tap from the profile page, with the price on the button
- On iPhones and iPads managed by a company or school, where in-app purchases are turned off, the app shows how your IT team can get Steel Profiles Pro with every library included
