Structural Steel For Construction

Structural steel is a category of steel construction material that is produced with a particular cross section or shape, and some specified values of strength and chemical composition. The word structural steel includes a broad variety of low carbon and manganese steels that are used in great numbers for civil and marine engineering applications. Numerous structural steels also include minor quantities of significant additions of other elements like Nb, V, Ti and Al. These are called High Strength Low Alloy or micro-alloyed steels. Structural steels are manufactured in section and plate shapes and are normally used in bridges, buildings, ships, and pipelines.
