Sructural steel<\/b>\u00a0is a category of\u00a0steel<\/a>\u00a0used for making\u00a0construction materials<\/a>\u00a0in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel\u00a0shapes<\/a>\u00a0take the form of an elongated beam having a\u00a0profile<\/a>\u00a0of a specific\u00a0c<\/a>ross-section. Structural steel shapes, sizes,\u00a0chemical composition<\/a>, and mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards<\/a>\u00a0in most industrialized countries.<\/p>\n Most structural steel shapes, such as\u00a0I-beams<\/a>, have high\u00a0second moments of area<\/a>, which means they are very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area and thus can support a high\u00a0load<\/a>\u00a0without excessive\u00a0sagging<\/a>.<\/sup><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
