European Steel Grades

[dlasalle]

Apologies if this is too vague, just a student intern ATM.

I'm analyzing an existing mezzanine (built 2018) and have run into the issue that the steel is all in euro shapes. I understand that their grading system is different from ours, but I haven't been able to find their equivalent standard grade (A992 for I shaped, A36 for plates, etc.) so I would appreciate if anyone who is familiar with euro steel could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

If in the UK definitely this page and I believe for material properties it is also applicable for all of Europe:

The grades I believe are the same across Europe with S275 (roughly A36) for rolled sections and plates and S355 (roughly A992) for rolled sections.

The shapes in the UK are essentially still imperial (apart from parallel flange channels and some hollow sections) but referenced in mm. Europe has fully metric sections.
