Type of Steel • Designated by the letter “A” followed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) designation number. The principal types of structural steel include: • A36 carbon structural steel • A572 high-strength low-alloy structural steel • A588 corrosion-resistant high-strength low-alloy structural steel. Prof Awad S. Hanna

Steel Sections:Channel C 8x11 C = channel 8 = nominal depth weight = 11.5 #/Lf Use: • beams and built-up members Prof Awad S. Hanna
Steel Sections:Angle L 5 x 3 x 5/8 L = angle 5 = length of one leg 3 = length of another leg 5/8 = nominal thickness need to look up # • Bracing and build-up members Prof Awad S. Hanna

Estimating Tips • Nominally taken off and priced by weight • Group for take off by: • Grade of steel • Type of section or member • Method of tied connection • location • Maintain consistent sequence of take off. Common: • Columns and detail • Beams and detail (floor by floor) • Bracing and flooring Prof Awad S. Hanna
Pricing • Depends on where material is purchased. • Mill price apply to large orders. • Warehouse price apply to small orders from local supplier. • Prices are as of time of delivery. Need escalation clauses to be clearly set forth. • Price is made up a base plus extras. Prof Awad S. Hanna
Pricing Structural Shapes • Prices are expressed in cents per pound. • W14x95 - 32.68 ft, A36 steel (3104.6#) • Base 17.00 • Dimension: shape 0.45 length-quantity 1.00 • Pack 0.00 • Mark 0.00 • Load 0.20 18.65 Prof Awad S. Hanna
