ASTM A529 structural carbon steel, ASTM A572 high-strength, lowalloy structural steel, ASTM A242 and A588 atmospheric corrosion-resistant highstrength low-alloy structural steel, ASTM A514 quenched and tempered alloy structural steel plate and ASTM A852 quenched and tempered low-alloy structural steel plate may each have certain advantages over ASTM A36 structural carbon steel, depending on the application. often can be reduced by designing thisĪSTM A36 is the all-purpose carbon grade steel widely used in building and bridge construction. For To obtain an economical structure, it is often advantageous to minimize the number of different sections. Space does not permit inclusion in the listing of shapes and plates in Part 1 of ates of greater thickness that are occasionally nual of all rolled s s, refer to the various producers' catalogs. For additional information on availability and classification of structural steel plates and bars, refer to separate discussion beginning on pg. For additional information on availability of structurd tubing, refer to separate discussion beginning on pg. These steels cover pipe, cold- and hotformed tubing and cold- and hot-rolled sheet and strip. Seven additional grades of steel, other than those covering hot-rolled shapes, plates and bars, are listed in Sect. A listing of the shape sizes included in each of the five groups follows in Table 2, corresponding to the groupings given in Table A of ASTM Specification A6. For complete information on each steel, reference should be made to the appropriate ASTM specification.

Table 1 shows five groups of shapes and 11ranges of thicknesses of plates and bars available in the various minimum yield stress* and tensile strength levels afforded by the eight steels. Two steels, ASTM A5, are only available in plates. Six of these steels are available in hot-rolled structural shapes, plates and bars. Section A3.1 of the Specification for Structural Steel Buildings Allowable Stress Design and Plastic Design, (from here on referred to as the ASD Specification), lists 16 ASTM specifications for structural steel approved for use in building construction.

We hope this will be a helpful resource to reference best practices within the SE community. One sample approach for anchor rod plate washers could be to provide a column base schedule that includes anchor embedment, base plate hole diameters, and plate washer sizes for each anchor rod diameter.
