By Charles J. Carter, PETHE MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS USEDIN BUILDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUC-TIONare almost universally desig-nated by reference to an appropriateASTM specification. This simplifies thedesign and construction process becauseall characteristics of the product speci-fied are defined by simple reference toan approved standard. However, withdozens of ASTM specifications applica-ble in steel building construction aloneand several new ones now available, itcan be challenging to keep the standarddesignations in contract documents article (Part Two) is a summaryof the common ASTM specificationsused for structural plates, bars andother plate products in building designand construction.
generally thinner than structural plate and bar products (see Table 3), are pro-duced to such ASTM specifications as A570, A606 or A607. Skelp is a general term for the plate products used in the production of hollow structural sections (HSS).
