American Institute of Steel Construction, www.aisc.org, has more than you would ever want to know about steel. If you're serious about it, they publish a handbook for steel construction, which will contain the information you are asking for. It is the "Steel Construction Manual," and the most current is the Thirteenth Edition. You would be well off finding these resources at a good old freestanding library, as most of them are not free. Another option is to find a structural engineering textbook on designing structural steel.
