What does "s" of ASTM A709 Grade 50s steel stand for?
- Thread starter SophiaSS
- Start date
"Structural". It is the same (modulo CVN toughness requirements) as ASTM A 992, "Structural Steel Shapes".
I also like to think "Seismic". It has a cap on yield strength and on yield/tensile ratio so you can rely on it for "strong column weak beam" design.
