Structural steel sections are manufactured in a variety of shapes to meet different structural and engineering requirements. Each section is designed to efficiently resist compression, tension, bending, and shear forces while minimizing material usage. They are easy to fabricate, weld, bolt, and install, making them essential components in modern steel construction.
