INTRODUCTION
Steel structures
• A structure which is made from organised
combination of structural steel members
designed to carry loads and provide adequate
rigidity.
• In steel structures, structural steel is the main
load carrying material to transfer the load within
them and to transfer load to the ground
• Ex: - I-Beam, Tee section, [ - Channel section,
Steel plate etc..,
Common Steel structures
1. Roof truss in factories, cinema halls, railways
etc.,
2. Crane girders, columns, beams
3. Plate girders, bridges
4. Transmission towers, water tank, chimney
etc.,

Adv. & Disadv. Of Steel Members
Advantages
• High strength (can resist high loads with light weight
and small size of members)
• Gas and water tight.
• Good aesthetic view
• Good quality and durability
• Very high speed of construction
• Long service life
• Reusability and scrap value – env. Friendly
• Inspected quickly and conveniently
• Better solution to cover large span and tall
structures
Adv. & Disadv. Of Steel Members
Disadvantages
• Highcost – Initial
• Corrosion
• Low fire resistance
Structural Steel
• The steel used for the manufacture of rolled
structural steel sections, fastenings and other
elements.
• An alloy of iron and carbon (small percentage)
and other elements in varying percentages.
• Types – mild steel, medium carbon steel, high
carbon steel, low alloy steel and high alloy steel.
Steel
Steel making
• First iron is extracted from iron ores like
haematite, limestone, magnetite in furnace
• Oxygen is passed through molten iron to remove
carbon and impurities to make steel.
• Magnese is added to strengthen the steel
• Adding chrome, nickel, phosphorous can
impart special properties in steel
Cont….
• Semi finished products from the machine is hot
rolled to different sections like bars, plates,
angles, sections etc..,
• Adding carbon increases the tensile strength and
hardness but lowers ductility and toughness
• In building we use structural steel which has low
carbon of upto 0.1% to have ductility and yield.
Properties of Structural Steel
• Physical properties (IS 800:2.2.4)
1. Unit weight = 7850 kg/m3 = 78.5 kN/m3
2. E = 2x105 N/mm2
3. Poison ratio µ = 0.3

Shear Properties
• Shear strength of steel structure is specified at the
failure under shear stress and it is about 0.57 times
yield stress of structural steel.
• Regarding elastic shear modulus, it is expressed as
the ratio of shear stress to shear strain in elastic
range of steel structure.
Properties of Structural Steel
Hardness
• Hardness is the measure of ability of steel
structure to withstand inelastic deformation
• different tests to evaluate steel hardness namely:
Brinell, Rockwell and portable.
Properties of Structural Steel
Creep
500 mm
Beam – Column construction
Rolled steel Channel - section
• ISJC, ISLC, ISMC, ISLC, ISSC(Indian standard
special section)
• Example ISMC 300 @ 0.351 kN/m
300 mm

Rolled Steel Angle section
Classified as
ISA - Indian Standard Equal Angles
ISA - Indian Standard Unequal Angles
ISBA - Indian Standard Bulb Angles
Rolled Steel Angle section
• ISA Equal angle – ISA 150 x 150 x 12 (< 150 150 x 8)
• ISA unequal angle – ISA 150 x 115 x 12 Thickness
Rolled Tee- section
• ISNT - Indian Standard Normal Tee bars
• ISHT - Indian Standard Wide flange Tee bars
• ISST - Indian Standard Long legged Tee bars
• ISLT - Indian Standard Light Tee bars
• ISJT - Indian Standard Junior Tee bars
Rolled Tee- section
HT 125 @ 0.274kN/m
Other Sections
• Steel bars
– ISRO – Round bars
– ISSQ – Square bars
• Steel Tubes
• Steel plates
• Steel Flats
Choice of sections
• Governed by sectional properties and
availability
• Popular in India – ISMB, ISMC, equal
angles
• Channels are used in purlins, Tee and angles in
truss, I section in beam and column
Other forms of sections
Built-up, stepped, wide flange, hybrid, cold
formed (formed from light gauge steel strips)
Loads on Structures
• DL = Dead load – self weight and permanent loads (IS 875 -
part 1)
• Snow load
