Q: Arc welded H-beams compared to Hot rolled H-beams

[worldsteel]

Hi

Can anyone tell me if the Mechanical properties in Arc welded H-beams are the same as in Hot Rolled H-beams ?

If not, can anyone explain me, how to compensate ?
Arc welded H-beams are the beams we would like to use, but all specifications in drawings are Hot rolled Beams.

Steel grades: S235, S275 and S355.

Automatic Arc welding line

Hi worldsteel,

I can't answer your question unfortunately, but you may find someone who can in the structural engineers section/forum.
