Steel Grades in France 1

[csd72]

Does anyone know the typical steel grades in France?

I have a HEB160 and a 200x200x10 tube that I need to check and I dont know what the common stress grades (Fy) are for these.

Any help would be appreciated.

looks like an HSS type section... might try a CIDECT website... don't have my catalogue here, else I'd look it up...

You will probably get a better answer, but every culture seems to have their own verision of a burrito and A36 steel.

A 200 x 200 x 10 is a Square Hollow Section.

A HEB 160 is a european wide flange beam (basically a column section).

Not sure about France but in the UK these come with a yield stress of 275MPa, 355MPa, or 460MPa for normal structural purposes.

We are all (Europe) moving to the Eurocodes so I checked EN 1993. The British version (in english strangely) also has the same values given above.

I think the old French code was NFA 35-501. In this document the equivalent to grade S275 was E-28, S355 was E-36.

Not sure if this helps though.

Loak at page 14 onwards. This gives a comparison between international grades of steel, including American. It might be of some use.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I found out that both the tube and the I-beam are S235 (235MPa) which is 34.08 ksi so there is steel weaker than A36!

A6 is the common steel grade used on pre-war buildings, has yield of 33 ksi.

civilperson,
ASTM A6 is a material supply standard that addresses tolerances, strightness, etc. I think you might have meant ASTM A7.
