Structural Steel

Structural steel spans multiple compositions and shapes, chosen for load paths, stiffness, and durability:
- By Composition: Carbon, HSLA (High-Strength Low-Alloy), quenched & tempered alloy steels.
- Common Shapes: W/I-beams, channels (C/MC), angles (L), tees (T), plates, bars, and HSS (square/rectangular/round tubes).
- Connections: Bolted/welded moment and shear connections; base plates and gussets.
- Applications: Frames, trusses, bridges, industrial buildings, towers.
