Mechanical Properties of A588 Gr. A steel

Mechanical Properties of A588 Gr. A steel

Mechanical Properties of A588 Gr. A steel

(OP)
I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I am at my wits end.  Can someone here direct me to, or provide, the following mechanical properties for A588 grade A steel?

Elastic Modulus
Poisson's Ratio
Shear Modulus
Density
Tensile Strength
Yield Strength
Thermal Expansion Coefficient
Thermal conductivity
Specific Heat

all I know is tensile/ultimate strength is around 100ksi and yield is around 50ksi.  I can find any information anywhere on the other properties.  I have read that the properties change depending on the size and shape.  I am using plate less than 1" thick.  Any help on this subject would greatly be appreciated.

RE: Mechanical Properties of A588 Gr. A steel

The yield strength and tensile strength are specified in ASTM A 588, available from ASTM International at:

MatWeb has all but the last three:

And for those, you could use the values for 1020 steel:
