Large Diameter Round HSS
Large Diameter Round HSS
(OP)
I am designing a large cantilevered 'sign type' structure. The Canadian Steel Handbook provides properties and dimensions for round HSS sections up to 16" in diameter, however, prelim calcs indicate a larger diamter is required. Does anyone know where I can source information on larger diameter round HSS sections?

These are available in 35ksi steel as standard but can be ordered in 50ksi if necessary.
There are literally thousands of signs in the US made with these large poles so manufacturers will not be hard for the builder to find.

And if (when) the contractor looks at you like you're stupid, you can just say, "...that's how ____ DOT does it."

To save yourself some hassle use more common diameters. The most common sizes we use are 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48. I'll typically vary my thickness in 1/16" increments. Sizes like 22, 26 and 32 are available, but not as common and less likely for a fabricator to source easily.
