AISC — Circular Hollow Section
Circular Hollow Sections (CHS) are round tubular profiles with the most efficient cross-section for compression. Used for columns, trusses, and architectural structures.
The HSS 323.9x6.4 steel profile weighs 46.2 kg/m (31.05 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 5,894.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,453.2 cm⁴, Iy = 7,453.2 cm⁴.
