Beams

American ASTM standard high-strength, low-alloy beams, which are used in common applications such as gravity columns for high-rise buildings, long span trusses for stadiums and convention centers and for all projects where seismic design is a critical factor. The European standard EN 10027:1992 defines, in combination with the CEN report CR10260, the designation system for steel.
