HSS 305x305x9.5
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 305x305x9.5 steel profile weighs 78.0 kg/m (52.42 lb/ft), has a depth of 304.8 mm (12.00 in), flange width 304.8 mm (12.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 10,419.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 15,228.26 cm⁴, Iy = 15,228.26 cm⁴.
