SHS 100x8
EN — 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.
Also known as: PTR 100x100 (México) · Caño estructural 100x100 (Argentina)
The SHS 100x8 steel profile weighs 21.4 kg/m (14.38 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,944 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 418.44 cm⁴, Iy = 418.44 cm⁴.
