Square Hollow Section Steel Columns

Shss are often called box sections.

Square hollow section steel columns. Recalculated section property data for hss is published in hollow structural sections dimensions and section properties available from the steel tube institute of north america. In the united states hss sections conform to either the astm specification a500 or a1085. Hollow sections are only theoretically better than i sections because of better inertia for equivalent mass. Square rectangular and circular.

Practically every axial load is always associated with a bending moment minimum eccentricity in loading and circular. Astm 1085 table chart hss hollow structural section square structural tube.

Metal supplies have been supplying the uk building and construction industry with all types of structural steel for many years including a wide range of mild steel steel hollow sections. Hss members can be circular square or rectangular sections although other shapes such as elliptical are also available. A hollow structural section hss is a type of metal profile with a hollow cross section the term is used predominantly in the united states or other countries which follow us construction or engineering terminology. Hollow structural sections hss are manufactured hollow steel sections typically of circular rectangular or square cross section.

Tables for square and rectangular hss are presented for fy 46 ksi and for fy 50 ksi. Square structural tube per. Mild steel hollow sections.
