Hollow sections (RHS, SHS, and CHS) are available in metric sizes which are common both in the UK and across the continent. Hot finished hollow sections are supplied in accordance with EN10210 and in ...

Using 80-ksi steel in upper perimeter columns—a first in the U.S.—helped the design team reduce the steel by almost 20% at 320 S. Canal, a 51-floor office tower under construction in Chicago’s Loop.

Structural applications of steel have long made use of elongated beams with carefully designed profiles, whose geometry gives them specific mechanical properties. Nowadays, the variety of cutting and ...

A real-time hybrid fire simulation algorithm is developed and tested to capture the expected behaviour of a steel column within a structural frame, considering the slow thermal expansion of the stiff ...
