Properties of Structural Steel
Sections
The structural designer has choice of a variety of sections, which are available in
the market. This appendix provides properties of structural steel sections often
used in practice. For more complete details of I-sections, channels, equal and unequal
angles, and T-sections refer to IS: 808-1989. Note that IS: 808 does not give values
of the plastic section modulus. Hence these values for I-sections and channels
have been provided based on IS: 800. Note that there are some small differences in
the values given by IS: 808 and IS: 800. Only the values given by IS: 808 have
been used in this book. However, these differences in values will not affect the
design much. Also included in this appendix are the wide flange sections, which
have been introduced recently (more information on these sections may be obtained
from M/s. Jindal Vijayanagar Steel Limited). Properties of some castellated beams
(I-section and channels) have also been included. Properties of circular tubes
(IS: 1161-1998), square and rectangular hollow sections (IS: 4923-1997 and Tata
steel catalog), and cold-formed lipped channel and zed sections (IS: 811-1987) are
also included in this appendix. More details about these sections may be found in
the respective Indian Standard.
