Structural Steel Guide

W-Shape & I-Beams W-Shape (Wide Flange) beams are the most common structural members used in modern construction for columns and primary beams. Their parallel flanges provide superior resistance to bending.
HSS (Hollow Sections) Hollow Structural Sections provide excellent torque resistance and are visually cleaner for architectural steel applications like sheds, frames, and truss systems.
L-Angles & C-Channels Used for bracing and support frames. Angles provide structural rigidity in trusses, while Channels are ideal for stair strings and wall supports.
ASTM A36 Standards Most structural steel in this calculator assumes a carbon steel density of 7,850 kg/m³. A36 is the standard for mild steel used in bridges and buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you calculate the weight of structural steel?
The weight is calculated by multiplying the volume of the steel section (Area x Length) by the density of steel (7850 kg/m³). Our calculator automates this for all standard shapes.
What is the density of structural steel?
Standard structural steel (ASTM A36) has a density of approximately 7,850 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or 490 pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³).
