10 Questions
a design procedure which combines calculation of ultimate or limit states of strength and serviceability with a probability based approached to safety.
LRFD or load resistance factor design
a steel that is commonly used to form steel beams and columns on construction projects. They are created by passing heated steel between large rollers, which deform it into the required shape, such as; H, I, W, S, C, angles, tubes, and so on.
hot-rolled steel
The top and bottom horizontal elements of the 'I'. This resists most of the bending moment experienced.
flange
The vertical element of steel that resists shear forces.
web
The radius of the weld point at which the flange meets the web.
root radius
the radius of the outside edge of the flange.
toe radius
also known as an H beam or a universal beam, has two horizontal elements, the flanges, with a vertical element as the web.
W flange or I beam
a steel that has a rolled section with two parallel flanges, all connected by a web. the flanges are relatively narrow. it is the first beam section rolled in America
S shape or american standard beam
also known as parallel flange channels (PFC). cost-effective solutions for short- to medium-span structures. originally designed for bridges, but are popular for use in marine piers and other building applications. sometimes used as beams for light loaded beams such as purlins. It has a very little resistance to lateral forces and need to be braced.
c-shaped or channel section
________ beams that take an L shape, with two legs that come together at a 90-degree angle.
angle bar
