Mar 31, 2008 #4 GalileoG Structural Feb 17, 2007 467 So channels and HSS are the same as I-beams, but not angles, correct? Upvote 0 Downvote
Mar 31, 2008 #5 csd72 Structural May 4, 2006 4,574 The spread of the load in a HSS is a little different due to the external curvature. An angle doesnt have a bottom flange, so is completely different. Upvote 0 Downvote

Mar 31, 2008 #6 msquared48 Structural Aug 7, 2007 14,745 CSD: Not to be cute, but if the angle is upside down, it has a bottom flange. This happens all the time in marine construction where angles are used, upside down as it were, to stiffen the underside of deck plating. I know...picky, picky, picky.
