HSS 254x254x8.0
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 254x254x8.0 steel profile weighs 55.0 kg/m (36.96 lb/ft), has a depth of 254 mm (10.00 in), flange width 254 mm (10.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,299.4 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,404.75 cm⁴, Iy = 7,404.75 cm⁴.
