Steel Ultimate Stress Range
Steel Ultimate Stress Range
(OP)
Does anyone know why some steel specifications in the AISC manual give a range for the ultimate stress range( i.e. 58-80), but some specs only give a specific number for the ultimate stress?

Specifying a precise range may be also an indicator of the structural properties of the steel, mainly if allayed or ordinary structural. For seismic applications lower strength structural steels are known to behave with more ductility, and are sometimes selected or even mandated.
Respect the actual reason of the inclusion in the code with the precisions given, it must be, in my view, that are those for what the specifications are thought to be applicable.
