PROPERTIES OF STEEL SECTION:

Characteristics - Structural steel differs from concrete in its attributed compressive strength as well as tensile strength.

Strength - Having high strength, stiffness, toughness, and ductile properties, structural steel is one of the most commonly used materials in commercial and industrial building construction.

Constructability - Structural steel can be developed into nearly any shape, which are either bolted or welded together in construction. Structural steel can be erected as soon as the materials are delivered on site, whereas concrete must be cured at least 1–2 weeks after pouring before construction can continue, making steel a schedule-friendly construction material.

Fire resistance - Steel is inherently a noncombustible material. However,when heated to temperatures seen in a fire scenario, the strength and stiffness of the material is significantly reduced. The International Building Code requires steel be enveloped in sufficient fire-resistant materials, increasing overall cost of steel structure buildings.

Corrosion - Steel, when comes in contact with water, it can corrode, create a potentially dangerous structure. Measures must be taken in structural steel construction to prevent any lifetime corrosion. The steel can be painted, providing water resistance. Also, the fire resistance material used to envelope steel is commonly water resistant.

Structural steel shapes:

I-Beam

Z shape (half a flange in opposite direction)

HSS shape (Hollow structural section)

Angle (L-shaped)

C-Beam

T-Beam

Steel properties of sections are different for different standards like in India we follow Indian Standard Code.

To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 45 specimens are buried in soil for a 2-year period. The maximum penetration (in mils) for each specimen is then measured, yielding a sample average penetration of x = 52.5 and a sample standard deviation of s = 4.3. The conduits were manufactured with the specification that true average penetration be at most 50 mils. They will be used unless it can be demonstrated conclusively that...

A mechanical engineer wishes to compare strength properties of steel beams with similar beams made with a particular alloy. Each beam will be set in horizontal position with a support on each end, a force of 2500 lbs will be applied at the centre, and the deflection will be measured. From past experience with such beams, the engineer is willing to assume that the true standard deviation of deflection for both types of beam is .05 inches. Because the alloy...

To obtain information on the corrosion-resistance properties of a certain type of steel conduit, 25 specimens are buried in soil for a 2-year period. The maximum penetration (in mils) for each specimen is then measured, yielding a sample average penetration of x ̄ = 52.7. According to the normal probability plot, we can observe a linear pattern using the sample we have. The conduits were manufactured with the specification that true average penetration be at most 50 mils. They will...
