Structural Steel - Properties
Elastic Limit:Transition from elastic to inelastic behavior
Yield Point:Stress Fy at the elastic limit
Elastic Modulus: Slope of elastic part of curve E~29,000 ksi (200,000 Mpa)
Structural Steel - Properties
Yield Point:Stress Fy at the elastic limit
Ult. Tens. Str: Fu is the maximum stress developed in the inelastic zone
Structural Steel - Properties
Residual Strain:Permanent deformation after unloading
Structural Steel - Properties
If Yield Point not Clearly Defined0.2% Method
0.2% Strain
Draw line parallel to elastic part
Structural Steel - Characteristics
Elasticity: Ability of metal to return to its original shape after loading and subsequent unloading
Fatigue: Cycling loading and unloading stresses material above its endurance limit and leads to failure
Ductility: Deformation without fracture beyond the elastic limit (ineleastic behavior)High Ductility
Toughness: Combination of strength and ductilityHigh toughness
Structural Steel - Characteristics
Maintenance: Susceptible to Corrosion when exposed to air and waterUse paints, or weathering steels
Fireproofing: Strength reduces with increased temperature - Fireproofing required

Design Loads
Most important and difficult task is the accurate estimation of loads applied to a structure over its life
Second most difficult is to determine load combinations
Design Loads - Types

Occupancy - Floor Loads
Specified by building codesCheck Local (state) specs and requirements
In the absence of any available codes refer to:ASCE Standard 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures SEI/ASCE 7-05
Typical Variation40-250 psf
Snow & Ice
Depend On• Location• Slope of Roofs
Account for• Snow Drift• Increased wind loads due to increased surface area of ice coated
members
Typical Variation10 psf (45o slope) - 100 psf (North Main)
Rain Loads
