Properties
This property describes steel’s ability to return to its original shape after unloading.
What is elasticity?
This steel section is most commonly used as beams and columns in buildings.
What is Wide-Flanged?
This are the types of load that are permanent on the structure
What is dead load?
What are safety, serviceability and economy?
Merit or Demerit, this pertains to the convenience of steel to construct additions to existing steel structure
This is the ability of a material to undergo large deformations before failure or fracturing
What is ductility?
What is hollow?
This is a type of collapse of the members due to sudden large bending caused by critical compressive load
What is buckling?
This is the type of manufacturing steel using high temperature and forming the molten material into a mold.
What is hot-rolled steel?
Merit or demerit, this is the property of the steel structure providing completely impervious construction
What is merit?
This is a steel that contains mostly iron and carbon (with less than 1% carbon)
What is plain carbon steel?
This section are often used for light trusses and bracing systems
What is angle shapes/bar?
This stress level marks the transition from elastic to plastic behavior in steel.
What is yield strength/stress?
This is a covering of metal, concrete, plastic or timber put on the surface of a structural member to completely encase it.
What is cladding?
This is the merit of a steel structure where it can be easily disassembled and assembled, and can be carried to new places
What is temporary construction?
This is the ratio of the amount of deformation to the original length of the object
What is strain?
This is when the object has exactly similar parts facing each other or about an axis creating a mirrored appearance
What is symmetry?
This is the decrease of the steel's cross-sectional area due to tensile stress
What is necking?
This are steel structures where the main load-carrying elements are plates and steel
what is shell system?
This is the distance of a structural member to be constructed with its supports located far from each other
What is long span?
This is the Young's modulus of elasticity for all structural steel
What is 29,000,000 psi or 29,000 ksi?
This cross-section is consists of combinations of different steel shapes that were connected together.
What is built-up sections?
This is the maximum stress that a material can attain before breaking
What is ultimate strength?
This type of connection does not require to drill a hole on the steel structure
This is the amount of temperature where the creep of steel structure becomes more pronounced
what is 400°C
