Webinar Description

This Steelcast webinar surveys the main CSA and ASTM structural steel grades used in building and bridge applications, notably those listed in CSA S16:19 and S6:19. The presentation examines grades for hot-rolled shapes, HSS, plates, bolts and anchor rods. Other topics include substitute grades, unidentified steels, steels produced overseas and historical steel grades.

Structural Steel Grades also discusses differences between grades, selection criteria, high-strength and notch-tough steels, availability and the CISC Handbook. Cold-formed and welding products are not covered.
