Structural Steel Sections

Conforming to
BS 4-1:2005 :
Structural steel sections. Specification for hot-rolled section
Applies to : universal beams; universal columns; universal bearing piles;
joists; structural tees cut from universal beams; structural tees cut from
universal columns; parallel flange channels.
Mass, length and depth tolerances for taper flange joists and channels are
also given.

Structural Steel Sections

A section shall be designated by the serial size in millimeters and mass per unit length
in Kg/m.
Ex: UB/UB 914x419x388 indicates a beam with D=921.0mm, B= 420.5mm at 388Kg/m

Classification of Cross Sections

The four classifications are identical: C-EC3 designate the steel grades as
Fe 430 or S275
C-EC3
Class 1

Plastic

Class 2

Compact

Class 3

Semi Compact

Class 4

Slender

Classification of Cross Sections contd..

Clause 5.5

Class1 can form a plastic hinge with the rotation capacity

required from plastic analysis without reduction of the
resistance.

Class 2 can develop their plastic moment resistance, but

have limited rotation capacity because of local buckling.

Class3 the stress in the extreme compression fibre of the

steel member can reach the yield strength, assuming an
elastic distribution of stresses, but local buckling is liable to
prevent development of the plastic moment resistance.

Class4 local buckling will occur before the attainment of yield

stress in one or more parts of the cross-section.

Classification of Cross Sections contd..

Clause 5.5

The classification of a cross-section depends on the width to

thickness ratio of the parts subject to compression.

Compression parts include every part of a cross-section

which is either totally or partially in compression under the
load combination considered.

The various compression parts in a cross-section (such as a

web or flange) can, in general, be in different classes.

A cross-section is classified according to the highest (least

favourable) class of its compression parts.
Alternatively the classification of a cross-section may be
defined by quoting both the flange classification and the web
classification.
