Steel Member Finder iOS App

• An iOS app that takes user measurements as inputs and finds the closest AISC standard steel member matches. Results will display corresponding match percentages.

• The app:

  • Leverages UIKit framework
  • Employs the MVC design pattern to organize code structure
  • Communicates with a modified CSV file uploaded to the internet from the AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) website

• Example:

  • App starts with a list of AISC standard shapes (it is assumed that the user is familiar with the AISC standard and corresponding shape designations).

  

  • Selected a W (I-Beam) shape and prompted with user measurement inputs.

  

  • User inputs measurements into each of four fields. App will still work if any of the measurements are omitted.

  

  • App runs calculations based on the users' inputs and presents closest matching sizes that are produced by the AISC.

  

  • By selecting one of the matches (the top match was selected) a detailed report is shown that compares the users' measurements with the AISC specified dimensions
