A992 yield strength
A992 yield strength
(OP)
For really simple structures I still tend to use the ASD method. Simple beam center support moment = PL/4, stress = M/S, FOS = stress / yield, etc. Now that most structural steel is rolled as A992, is the correct yield strength 50ksi? I have seen some people use 42ksi.

A992 (50ksi): Beams, WTs, etc (rolled shapes)
A36 (36ksi): Plate, Angles, Connection Material (note these can also generally be obtained in A572 G50 but I would check with the steel supplier).
A500 Grade B (46ksi): Rectangular HSS sections.
A500 Grade B (42ksi): Round HSS sections.
So probably you are seeing round HSS sections with a Fy of 42. There are also several other fairly common types (A53 GrB for Pipe, F1554 for Anchor Rods etc). Generally you can find a table at the beginning of the steel manual directing you to what is commonly used for what. In 13th ed. manual, see Table 2-3 on page 2-39.

Do you read LOL as "loll", "ell-oh-ell" or "laugh out loud" in your mind? I wonder...
