SHS 35x2.5

BR — 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 SHS 35x2.5 steel profile weighs 2.4 kg/m (1.63 lb/ft), has a depth of 35 mm (1.38 in), flange width 35 mm (1.38 in). Cross-sectional area: 325 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 5.76 cm⁴, Iy = 5.76 cm⁴.
