Abstract
The study focuses on compliances with standard specifications of steel
used for structural purposes in Sudan. To achieve this objective, the study
was divided into two parts. The first one focuses on studying structural
steel, including hot-rolled sections as universal beams, angles, hollow
sections (circular, square and rectangular), sheet…etc. The second part
studies cold-rolled sections, compound sections and reinforcing bars of
both plain and deformed types. The study was limited to types used for
building purposes, for a better focus on a vast subject, on the other hand,
such types are divided into local and imported sections. The various
properties of steel were studied. These included tensile strength, and yield
strength and ductility through tests of tensile, hardness, impact and
bending and rebending. A chemical analysis of sample sections was
conducted to show percentage of carbon and other important elements
such as sulfur and phosphorus. The study compare samples to standard
specifications (BS, ASTM, EUR, JIS and DIN). A comparison was also
done on the different sample sections of structural steel. The study
findings show that most of the imported steel sections comply with
specifications, while locally made steel varies as to compliance with
specifications. This is discussed in detail in the study. We hope for the
expanding of the study of structural steel and that such research takes a
more specialized manner.
