yield strength for W-shape

yield strength for W-shape

(OP)
Hi, everyone,

When designing a building structure, do you ever use yield strength 50 ksi for W-shapes? And I am also wondering what's the difference between A441 with 50 ksi and A572 Grade 50, in performance or in cost?

Thanks very much for your reply in advance!

RE: yield strength for W-shape

The predominant wide flange shape spec is now becoming A992, which is a 50 ksi product.  Indications are the A36 is becoming more expensive than 50k in many situations.  A992 is basically equivalent to A572 Gr. 50.
