Pre-Engineered Main Frame Steel

Pre-Engineered Main Frame Steel

Pre-Engineered Main Frame Steel

(OP)
Hello all,

Any thoughts to what the yield stress would have been for the main frame of a PEMB constructed circa 1970? I have evaluated with A36 but am wondering if at that time it would have been more prevalent to use A572 or something else?

RE: Pre-Engineered Main Frame Steel

No way of telling without taking a coupon and checking. But I wouldn't assume A572 without some kind of evidence.

RE: Pre-Engineered Main Frame Steel

A big thing with PEMB's is that often they were constructed for a different site, with different loading requirements... just a caution...

In addition to the above, they sometimes use(d) different grades of steel in the same frame.
