What Is Structural Steel?

Structural steel is a category of steel products specifically designed for use in load-bearing and construction applications. It is manufactured to precise standards to ensure consistent strength, durability, and structural performance in buildings and infrastructure.

Structural steel sections are commonly used to form the framework of buildings, bridges, platforms, and industrial structures where high strength-to-weight ratio and reliability are essential.
