Chinese steel section properties
Chinese steel section properties
(OP)
I'm working on to additions to a project in the USA that has steel shapes from China. I see shapes designations like HN500, HN446, HM440. I'm looking for a website that will give me section properties for the Chinese steel. I would like full properties such as A, Ix, Sx, Rx, etc. Any assistance would be appreciated.

1) Size proportions can be quite different.
2) Quality control can be quite different.
3) Where Fy is different, b/t ratios change which apparently has something to do with why proportions are different.
For your sake, I hope that you're working with US shapes rolled in china rather than true Chinese shapes. It was pretty painful getting it all sorted.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

The drawings state the Chinese steel is ASTM 992.
RE: Chinese steel section properties
Appears properties for your examples HN500 and HN446 are on Page 4, and HM440 on Page 3.
