(OP)
I am doing a project for a DOH and utilizing HPS 70W steel. My question is what price per lb. is HPS 70W steel versus Grade 50W? Also, are there any limitations to the length of HPS 70W steel? I am working with plates sizes up to 20"x 1" and 26" x 1 3/8". Thanks





RE: HPS 70W Costs
Material In-Place
Grade 50W $0.35-0.42 $1.00-1.25
HPS 70W TMCP $0.45-0.57 $1.15-1.45
From what I have seen in bids and other publications these were reasonable but steel is going up.
The most ecconomical design depends on your span length. In most cases using a 50W web and HPS 70W in the more highly loaded flanges will give you the best combination.
Consider contacting the National Steel Bridge Alliance. They will give you a preliminary design that is a great start.
