ABSTRACT This specification deals with the general requirements that apply to rolled structural steel bars, plates, shapes, and sheet piling. The steel shall be made in an open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-arc furnace followed by additional refining in a ladle metallurgy furnace, or secondary melting by vacuum-arc remelting or electrostag remelting. The steel products shall undergo heat treatment, structural conditioning, and strand casting in stationary molds. Tension testing and chemical analysis shall be performed wherein the specimens shall conform to the required mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength and elongation, and the required metallurgical structure and composition specifications of the products. Final products shall be legibly marked, bundled, and tagged with the applicable designation, grade, heat number, size and thickness, and name, brand, or trademark of the manufacturer for identification and shipment. SCOPE 1.1 This general requirements specification2 covers a group of common requirements that, unless otherwise specified in the applicable product specification, apply to rolled structural steel bars, plates, shapes, and sheet piling covered by each of the following product specifications issued by ASTM: ASTM Designation3 Title of Specification A36/A36M Carbon Structural Steel A131/A131M Structural Steel for Ships A242/A242M High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel A283/A283M Low and Intermediate Tensile Strength Carbon Steel Plates A328/A328M Steel Sheet Piling A514/A514M High-Yield-Strength, Quenched and Tempered Alloy Steel Plate, Suitable for Welding A529/A529M High-Strength Carbon-Manganese Steel of Structural Quality A572/A572M High-Strength Low-Alloy Columbium-Vanadium Structural Steel A573/A573M Structural Carbon Steel Plates A588/A588M High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel, up to 50 ksi [345 MPa] Minimum Yield Point, with Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance A633/A633M Normalized High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel Plates A656/A656M Hot-Rolled Structural Steel, High-Strength Low-Alloy Plate with Improved Formability A690/A690M High-Strength Low-Alloy Nickel, Copper, Phosphorus Steel H-Piles and Sheet Piling with Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance for Use in Marine Environments A709/A709M Structural Steel for Bridges A710/A710M Precipitation–Strengthened Low-Carbon Nickel-Copper-Chromium-Molybdenum-Columbium (Niobium) Alloy Structural Steel Plates A769/A769M Carbon and High-Strength Electric Resistance Forge-Welded Steel Structural Shapes A786/A786M Hot-Rolled Carbon, Low-Alloy, High-Strength Low-Alloy, and Alloy Steel Floor Plates A827/A827M Plates, Carbon Steel, for Forging and Similar Applications A829/A829M Alloy Structural Steel Plates A830/A830M Plates, Carbon Steel, Structural Quality, Furnished to Chemical Composition Requirements A857/A857M Steel Sheet Piling, Cold Formed, Light Gage A871/A871M High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel Plate With Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance A913/A913M High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel Shapes of Structural Quality, Produced by Quenching and Self-Tempering Process (QST) A945/A945M High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel Plate with Low Carbon and Restricted Sulfur for Improved Weldability, Formability, and Toughness A950/A950M Fusion-Bonded Epoxy-Coated Structural Steel H-Piles and Sheet Piling A992/A992M Structural Steel Shapes A1043/A1043M Structural Steel with Low Yield to Tensile Ratio for Use in Buildings A1066/A1066M High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel Plate Produced by Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Process (TMCP) A1077/A1077M Structural Steel with improved Yield Strength at High Temperature for Use in Buildings 1.2 Annex A1 lists permitted variations in dimensions and mass (Note 1) in SI units...
