PREFACE.
In submitting the following tables of properties 01
Steel Beams. Channels and other structural malenal,
with lables of strength, etc" we caU atlention to Ihe
'act that they are computed from recent tests and
experiments. Although Sleel for general construction
has been only recently Introduced, yet so rapid has
been Its adoption thai all arctulecls and engineers
who have kept pace with the lime appreciate Its
advantages and adopt II for all work of any magni.
tude in preference to wrought and ca~t iron. rhe
advantages are greater strength and less weight, the
malerial can be made to required specifications and
can be inspected al all stages of ils manufacture.
We have discontinued makmg hon Beams and
Channels. We regard our sections of Sttltll Beams,
Channels. Angles. elc_. as the most desirable. being
the result 01 our elCperience. Some of them are
lighter sections than made by other mills. We caU
atlention to diagrams showing details.
We are manufacturing Steel Columns 01 various
kinds. notably the" Larimer Column," which is one 01
the best now on Ihe market. It has proved by lests
made and comparison with olher Columns to be
superior in strength, simplicity in construction. meth
od 01 connecting. elc.

Preface to Second Edition.
In this second edition of STANOARD STEEL CON·
STRUCTION, we present standard $~ctions 01 Steet
Beams. Channels and An<Jles. as adopted by Ihe
American Association of Steel ManufactuftlB, Janu
ary. 1896, and new tables of properties and safe
loads: also standard sizes and weighls of Larimer
Columns. with tables of properties and sale loads.
We also prtJSent diagrams of 20 inch Beams. and
properties nnd safe loads of 20 and 24 inch Beams:
ulso diagrams of additional shapes and standard
detai Is 01 rool trusses. We have adopted a different
mtJIhod of numbering our shapes, and call aUeolion
10 the new sy,km as shown herein. We have added
10 our 511*1 production an ~n·hearth basic steel
plant of large capacity. and can supply Ihese shapes
In Open-Htlarth Steel to standard specifications.
So $.ltisfactor!! has been our product of Soft Besse
r'l'(:r and O~n·Hearth Steel that we have discon·
tinued Ihe manufacture of our brands of refined iron,
and have substituted in all our work our special
grades of steel. Our customers, who have used Ihe
steet in large quantities. are thoroughly satisfied with
the results.,

Preface to Third Edition.
We have now added Z bars to our manufacture for
structural purposes.
Tables gIvIng properties and safe loads when used
as gIrders wl11 be found In this editIon. Also tables
giving sIzes, weights and strength of Z bar columns.
We desire to ca11 attentlon to the varIous types of
steel columns, which are now at the command of the
desIgner, with illustrations of standard connections.
For light 10aJs a single beam. many times. will answer
a11 requirements. See page 221 for strength of beams
used for this purpose. For heavier load! the Larimer,
Z bar or Nurlck column can be taken, according to
the nature of the case.
The table on page 65, gIvIng sIzes of bearing plates,
will be handy.
We show. on page 187. a system of corrugated
flooring made of bent channels. This construction
will prove useful for a great many purposes.
Our tables of turnbuckles, sleeve nuts, clevIses, eye
bars and cast washers, we hope will be found con
venient.
