All standard I and channel sections have a slope of \(16\frac{2}{3}\%\) on the inner face of the flange.Additional InformationAdvantages of steel as a structural material:
- As compared to other structural materials steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio. It implies steel possesses very high strength and results in smaller sections as compared to other structural materials. Thus steel is particularly useful for carrying heavy loads with relatively small sections.
- Being light, steel can be handled conveniently and thus it offers ease of transportation.
- Another important property of steel is that it is ductile. Due to this very useful property, it does not fail abruptly but gives ample warning by yielding before the actual collapse of the structure.
- Steel possesses very high strength due to which it does not undergo fracture due to large deformation and erection stresses.
- Steel has a very long life when maintained properly. Retrofitting of steel structures is quite easy as compared to other materials like RCC, timber, mortar etc.
- The resale value of steel is also very high amongst all building materials. Moreover, steel can be reused also.
