AISC — Square Hollow Section
Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are tubular profiles with equal sides, ideal for columns and compression members due to their uniform buckling resistance in all directions.
The HSS 203x203x8.0 steel profile weighs 43.6 kg/m (29.30 lb/ft), has a depth of 203.2 mm (8.00 in), flange width 203.2 mm (8.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,795.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,708.5 cm⁴, Iy = 3,708.5 cm⁴.
