AD.2007-08.1.4 Japanese JIS Hollow Sections
The catalog of available Japanese hot rolled steel sections has been expanded to include the hollow sections from JIS publications.
- JIS G3444:2005 Design Standard for Steel Structures - Based on Allowable Stress Concept defines properties for circular hollow sections and are classed as "General pipe sections". The existing PIPE table has been updated to ensure that it is consistent with this table.
- JIS G3475:2005 Design Standard for Steel Structures - Based on Allowable Stress Concept defines properties for circular hollow sections and are classed as "Architectural pipe sections". A new table for these Circular Hollow (CHS) will be added.
- JIS G3466:2005 Design Standard for Steel Structures - Based on Allowable Stress Concept defines properties for square and rectangular hollow sections. These will be added to the existing Japanese Sections database as two new tables: Rectangular Hollow (RHS) and Square Hollow (SHS)
