Before presenting the mechanical properties of carbon steel at elevated temperature, the properties at room
temperature will be given. The elastic constants used at room temperature, for the design of steel structures, are:
The yield strength, y f , and the ultimate tensile strength, u f , for hot
rolled structural steel and structural hollow sections at room temperature are
respectively. Simplifications are given in Tables C.1 and C.2, which are
EXAMPLE 2.1:
The example in Figure 2.10 shows the application of
this theorem. For spans AC and BC
Since the support at A is simply supported, MA = 0. Therefore,
Considering an imaginary span BD on the right side of B, and applying the theorem for spans CB and
BD
Shear force at A is
Shear force at C is
Shear force at B is

5 ALLOWABLE DEFLECTION LIMITS
The following allowable deflection limits for steel construction are used by the IBC:
It should be noted that the above-noted allowable deflections are minimums. Architects and engineers often
reduce the deflection limit to L/480 or even L/540 to ensure that floors are not “bouncy.”
