Abstract :
A voluntary simplified practice recommendation for hot-rolled carbon-steel structural shapes, as proposed by the technical committee on carbon-steel plate and structural shapes, of the American Iron and Steel Institute, was made available, during September 1945, to all interests, for their consideration, comment, and approval. The proposal, announced by the division of simplified practice of the National Bureau of Standards, contains 18 tables, covers the nominal sizes and weights per linear foot of sections, beams, stanchions, joists, channels, angles, tees, and zees. Sections and angles used in carbuilding and shipbuilding are included.
