Hi,
Anybody has heard about low yield point steel?(for seismic-resistance)
Can we get this kind steel in any company?
Thanks

RE: low yield point steel?
A steel with such behaviour can have such overstrength that some of the structural schemes devised by the designing team (such strong column / weak beam) can be defeated, in more than having lesser ductility. For these reasons there has appeared demand for controlled yield steels, to which you may be referring to.
