It's not exactly what you're after, however this paper on the evolution of Australian structural steel and pressure vessel plate may be of interest to you:

In Canada, 350W steel is common... a bit of a hiccup on one of my earlier projects; some steel sections that are Class 1 in 300W are now class 2 in 350W... and can't be used for plastic design. Problem comes from consideration of alternating load patterns.

Aubrey,

Bear in mind that, high strength steels are OK as long as `stress` is your design criteria and usually associated with `shorter` beams. If `deflection` is critical, usual on `longer` beams, then using a high strength steel will make no difference, as `E` (young's modulus of elasticity) is virtually the same regardless of strength.

Regards,
Neilmo
