Cold Weather Steel?
Cold Weather Steel?
(OP)
Hello,
Where can I find information on "cold Weather Steel," I am not referring to "cold formed steel."
While conversing with a structural engineer from another firm the other day, he mentioned that I should consider specifying "cold weather steel" for stiffeners greater than 13 mm for a project of mine. I have not heard of this before, and was not able to find any information on the steel design manual. A google search yielded little results. Could he have possibly meant "cold formed steel"?

I specified WT (instead of W) Category 4 for temperatures as low as -40
What I do not understand though, is why are steel plates with thickness greater than 13 mm more susceptible to brittle failure as opposed to steel plates less than 13 mm?
Thank you.
