This section presents and discusses the properties of structural steels that are of importance in design and construction. Designers should be familiar with these properties so that they can select the most economical combination of suitable steels for each application and use the materials efficiently and safely. In accordance with contemporary practice, the steels described in this section are given the names of the corresponding specifications of ASTM, 100 Barr Harbor Dr., West Conshohocken, PA, 19428. For example, all steels covered by ASTM A588, ‘‘Specification for High-strength Low-alloy Structural Steel,’’ are called A588 steel | STRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGNER S HANDBOOK Roger L.
