2.3. Properties of Parallel Flange Sections
JSPL is a pioneer in the Indian market to produce hot rolled parallel flange beams and columns
of wide range upto 900 mm depth from their Rail & Universal Beam Rolling Mill at Raigarh
works in Chhattisgarh.
Consultants, designers and fabricators made use of these sections because of their substantial
cost benefit over conventionally available tapered beams or built up sections. These sections are
available in different grades with yield strength of 250 to 450 Mpa. These sections can be welded
without any preheating. Parallel flange I-Sections to be used as beams of nominal size ranges
from 200x100 mm to 900x300 mm and column sections from 150x150 mm to 400x400 mm are
being produced and supplied in domestic market by JSPL leading to significant economy in steel
construction.
These sections are divided in 3 categories as per IS: 12778-2004. They are Narrow parallel
Flange sections (NPB), Wide Parallel Flange Sections (WPB) and Bearing Pile Sections. The
NPB’s are mostly used as beam members, WPB’s are used for both Beams and Columns and
Bearing Pile Sections are used for Compression members. Also PF sections are available as per
international standards such as UB, UC, IPE etc.
Manufactured as per Indian & International standards, these sections are superior in terms of
strength, efficiency, higher axial and bending load bearing capacity, workability and economy
vis-à-vis conventional tapered flange beams. These Parallel Flange Beams & Columns enable
complex fabrications in high volumes due to inherent functional advantages of these sections.
The load carrying capacity of parallel flange I sections under direct compression are much higher
than that of I sections available today. Also connections to the flanges are simpler since no
tapered washers etc. are required.
This design manual contains statical properties of parallel flange sections, design of members
subjected to compression & tension, bending and combined forces. Also strength tables for
different structural grades have been given for the benefit of designers. Also comparison tables
are provided to give an idea of how parallel flange sections are better compared to
conventionally available ISMB sections.
Parallel Flange sections are extensively used in construction of multi-storied buildings, bridges,
utility buildings, car parking lots, refineries, airports, flyovers, metro rail projects, cement plants,
steel plants and industrial sheds & structures, material handling systems, shopping malls, power
plants and stadiums etc. The availability of Parallel Flange Sections with improved yield and
other accompanying features would bridge the long felt need of the designers and users with an
aim for more innovativeness, strength and flexibility.

INTRODUCTION
A structural engineer’s responsibility is to design the structural members of buildings, bridges,
dams, offshore platforms etc, with maximum efficiency and minimum cost satisfying the
strength and stiffness requirement. Selecting the good structural arrangement, design
methodology and choosing the right structural sections of required strength can accomplish the
economy. Also, the present Indian standard medium sections are available in one size only for
each beam depth. However, in case of parallel flange beams (in view of the Universal Rolling
Technology) more number of beams having the same beam depth but with varying flange and
web thickness, flange widths and weight per unit length are available giving more flexibility to
the designers & economy to the owner.
Hot rolled parallel flange beams and columns of wide range upto 900 mm depth are now
available in Indian market. These beams and columns are well accepted by consultants, designers
and fabricators because of their substantial cost benefit over conventionally available tapered
beams or built up sections.
Jindal’s parallel flange sections are available in different grades with yield strength of 250 to 450
Mpa. These sections can be welded without any preheating. Parallel flange I-Sections to be used
as beams of nominal size ranges from 200x100 mm to 900x300 mm and column sections from
150x150 mm to 400x400 mm are being produced and supplied in domestic market by JSPL
leading to significant economy in steel construction.
With the availability of large number of beams with different statical properties having the same
beam depth besides the advantage of parallel flange over taper flange will give the designers,
architects and construction agencies great flexibility in choosing the right sections depending on
applications. Also these sections have better sectional properties (section modulus, radius of
gyration) compared to conventional I beams. The load carrying capacity of parallel flange I
sections under direct compression are much higher than that of I sections available today. Also
connections to the flanges are simpler since no tapered washers etc. are required.
In view of above it is highly recommended to have the efficient parallel flange sections in
construction industry to bring down the overall cost of the structures. Almost all the countries
(Germany, Japan, USA etc.) use these efficient parallel flange sections and have their own
national standard for the same.
The present IS: 12778-2004 dealing with parallel flange section covers sections upto 900 mm
beam depth. This IS code incorporate a wide range of sections with proper grouping upto 900
mm depth.
Availability
Wide Parallel Flange Beams, WPB: these are doubly symmetric shapes, generally used as
beams or columns whose inside flange surfaces are substantially parallel. Beams or columns
under the standard have nominal flange width same as depth up to nominal depth 300 mm. Beam
depth larger than 300 mm have nominal flange width 300 mm to 400 mm. Columns may have
flange widths more than the depths. Beams and column section are manufactured with heavy,
medium and light flange and web thickness. Beams and columns are designated by nominal
depth and nominal flange width and weight in kg/m. For example WPB 600 x 300 x 120 would
mean wide parallel flange beam having nominal depth 600 mm nominal flange width of 300 mm
and beam weight of 120 kg/m WPB 360 x 400 x 287 would mean wide parallel flange columns
having nominal depth of 360 mm and nominal flange width of 400 mm and a weight of 287
kg/m.
Parallel flange Bearing Pile Sections, PBP: these are doubly symmetric wide flange shapes
generally used as bearing piles whose flanges and webs are of same nominal thickness and
whose depth and width are essentially the same. Bearing piles are generally designated by
nominal depth of the section and weight is kg/m. for example PEP 360 x 174 would mean
bearing pile section having nominal depth of 360 mm and nominal flange width of 360 mm and
weight of 174 kg/m.
Narrow & wide flange beams can be supplied in any of the three sub-categories
1. Light weight
2. Standard weight
3. Heavy weight
Parallel Flange Sections as per British (Universal beams UB, Universal Columns UC), European
(IPE, HE etc.), German, American or any other international specifications in addition to the
Indian specification shall be manufactured and supplied by JSPL as per their brochure.
As per the information available from M/s Jindal Steel & Power Limited, upto a maximum depth
of 900 mm and width 300 mm with varying flange and web thickness as per the customer’s
requirement are proposed to be rolled in their state-of the art Universal Rolling Mill. Sections
will confirm to the tolerance limits of IS: 1852 and they can also be produced to any other
international standard.
Material Grades
These sections are available in material grades conforming to IS: 2062-2011.
Bantam Beams are some of the lightest weight per foot hot rolled beams produced in the world.
Most of these products are used in the frames of recreational vehicles (RV) and manufactured
homes. Other companies have also found these sections to be very competitive in purling
applications and steel tonnage applications. These sections are produced by JSPL in different
structural grades.

Chapter 3
Bending Capacity of
PF Sections
Chapter 3
Major Axis Bending Capacity of a Parallel Flange Sections
3.1 General
Members subjected to predominant bending shall have adequate design strength to resist bending
moment, shear force, and concentrated forces imposed upon and their combinations. Further, the
members shall satisfy the deflection limitation presented, as serviceability criteria. Member
subjected to other forces in addition to bending or biaxial bending shall be designed.
Effective Span of Beams − The effective span of a beam shall be taken as the distance between
the centres of the supports, except where the point of application of the reaction is taken as eccentric
at the support, when it shall be permissible to take the effective span as the length between the
assumed lines of the reactions.
3.2 Design Strength in Bending (Flexure)
The design bending strength of beam, adequately supported against lateral torsional buckling
(laterally supported beam) is governed by the yield stress. When a beam is not adequately supported
against lateral buckling (laterally un-supported beams), the design bending strength may be
governed by lateral torsional buckling strength.
The factored design moment, M at any section, in a beam due to external actions, shall satisfy
M ≤ Md
where Md =design bending strength of the section, calculated as given below,
The following simplified equation may be used in the case of prismatic members made of standard
rolled I-sections and welded doubly symmetric I-sections, for calculating the elastic lateral buckling
moment, Mcr., (table 8.2).

Iy,,ry = moment of inertia, radius of gyration about the weak axis, respectively
LLT = effective length for lateral torsional buckling
hf = Center to center distance between flanges
tf = thickness of the flange
Mcr for different beam sections, considering loading, support condition, and non-symmetric
section, shall be calculated using the method given in Appendix F of IS 800: 2007.
3.7 Effective Length for Lateral Torsional Buckling:
For simply supported beams and girders of span length, L, where no lateral restraint to the
compression flanges is provided, but where each end of the beam is restrained against torsion, the
effective length LLT of the lateral buckling to be used shall be taken as given (Table 15 of IS:800-
2007) below.

3
D is the overall depth of the beam
In simply supported beams with intermediate lateral restraints against lateral torsional buckling, the
effective length for lateral torsional buckling to be used LLT, shall be taken as the length of the
relevant segment in between the lateral restraints. The effective length shall be equal to 1.2 times
the length of the relevant segment in between the lateral restraints.
Restraint against torsional rotation at supports in these beams may be provided by:
i) web or flange cleats, or
ii) bearing stiffeners acting in conjunction with the bearing of the beam, or
iii) lateral end frames or external supports provide lateral restraint to the compression
flanges at the ends, or
iv) their being built into walls
For beams, which are provided with members giving effective lateral restraint to the compression
flange at intervals along the span, in addition to the end torsional restraint required, the effective
length for lateral torsional buckling shall be taken as the distance, centre-to-centre, of the restraint
members in the relevant segment under normal loading condition and 1.2 times this distance, where
the load is not acting on the beam at the shear and is acting towards the shear centre so as to have
destabilizing effect during lateral torsional buckling deformation.
For cantilever beams of projecting length, L, the effective length LLT to be used, shall be taken as in
Table 16 of IS:800-2007 for different support conditions.
Where a member is provided intermediate lateral supports to improve the lateral buckling strength,
these restraints should have sufficient strength and stiffness to prevent lateral movement of the
compression flange at that point, relative to the end supports. The intermediate lateral restraints
should be either connected to an appropriate bracing system capable of transferring the restraint
force to the effective lateral support at the ends of the member, or should be connected to an
independent robust part of the structure capable of transferring the restraint force. Two or more
parallel member requiring such lateral restraint shall not be simply connected together assuming
mutual dependence for the lateral restraint.
The intermediate lateral restraints should be connected to the member as close to the compression
flange as practicable. Such restraints should be closer to the shear centre of the compression flange
than to the shear centre of the section. However, if torsional restraint preventing relative rotation
between the two flanges is provided, they intermediate lateral restraint may be connected at any
appropriate level.
For beams which are provided with members giving effective lateral restraint at intervals along the
span, the effective lateral restraint shall be capable of resisting a force of 2.5 percent of the
maximum force in the compression flange taken as divided equally between the points at which the
restraint members are provided. Further, each restraint point should be capable of resisting 1 percent
of the maximum force in the compression flange.
In a series of such beams, with solid webs, which are connected together by the same system of
restraint members, the sum of the restraining forces required shall be taken as 2.5 percent of the
maximum flange force in one beam only.
In the case of a series of latticed beams, girders or roof trusses which are connected together by the
same system of restraint members, the sum of the restraining forces required shall be taken as 2.5
percent of the maximum force in the compression flange plus 1.25 percent of this force for every
member of the series other than the first, up to a maximum total of 7.5 percent.
Purlins adequately restrained by sheeting need not be normally checked for the restraing forces
required by rafters, roof trusses or portal frames that carry predominately roof loads provided there is
bracing of adequate stiffness in the plane of rafters or roof sheeting which is capable of acting as a
stressed skin diaphragm.

Flange thickness (tf) = 9.2 mm
Flange outstand width (b) = 75 mm
b/tf = 8.2
Flange is Plastic
Depth of web (d) = 278.6 mm
Web thickness (tw) = 6.1 mm
d/tw = 45.7

β b= Zx/Zpx (for Class 1 = 1.00
So, Md = 123.13 kN-m
B. When the beam is laterally unsupported

Where , LLT = Effective length for torsional buckling= 1.0 X 5. m = 5m
hf= centre to centre distance between flanges = 287.80 mm
Case II> Shear force is more than 60% of shear capacity
Maximum shear force on the section, V = 300 kN
Shear capacity of the section Vd = Av*fyw/√3 = 411.75 kN

Av = Shear area of the section = h*t w = 1811.7 mm
V/Vd = 0.73
Check the bending capacity reduction due to high shear.
For, Plastic and compact section,
Moment capacity of the section M dv = Md-β*(Md-Mfd) or 1.2*Ze*fy/γm0 whichever is less.
Where β = (2V/Vd-1)2 = 0.21
and Mfd = Zpf*fy/γm0 = 30.57 kN-m

Checking of major axis bending strength
Case I> Shear force is less than 60% of shear capacity
a. When the beam is laterally supported
Design bending strength (Md) is minimum of 1.2*Ze*fy/γm0 = 92.40 kN-m
and βbZpfy/γm0 = 87.59 kN-m
β b= Zx/Zpx (for Class 1 = 1.00
So, Md = 87.59 kN-m
B. When the beam is laterally unsupported
Design bending strength (Md) = βbZpfbd = 32.77 kN-m

COLUMN BUCKLING CURVES
4.1.1 Effective Length of Compression Members
The effective length, KL, is calculated from the actual length, L, of the member,
considering the rotational and relative translational boundary conditions at the ends. The
actual length shall be taken as the length from center to center of its intersections with the
supporting members in the plane of the buckling deformation. In the case of a member with
a free end, the free standing length from the center of the intersecting member at the
supported end, shall be taken as the actual length.
Effective Length – Where the boundary conditions in the plane of buckling can be
assessed, the effective length, KL, can be calculated on the basis of Table 11 of IS:800.
Where frame analysis does not consider the equilibrium of a framed structure in the
deformed shape (Second-order analysis or Advanced analysis), the effective length of
compression members in such cases can be calculated using the procedure given in
Appendix D.1 of IS:800. The effective length of stepped column in single storey buildings
can be calculated using the procedure given in Appendix D.2 of IS:800.
Eccentric Beam Connection – In cases where the beam connections are eccentric in plan
with respect to the axes of the column, the same conditions of restraint as in concentric
connection, shall be deemed to apply, provided the connections are carried across the flange
or web of the columns as the case may be, and the web of the beam lies within, or in direct
contact with the column section. Where practical difficulties prevent this, the effective
length shall be taken as equal to the distance between points of restraint, in non-sway
frames.

Compression Members in Trusses – In the case of bolted, riveted or welded trusses and
braced frames, the effective length, KL, of the compression members shall be taken as 0.7 to
1.0 times the distance between centers of connections, depending on the degree of end
restraint provided. In the case of members of trusses, buckling in the plane perpendicular to
the plane of the truss, the effective length, KL shall be taken as the distance between the
centers of intersection.
follows:
(i) Assume a suitable trial section and classify the section in accordance with the
classification as detailed in Table 3.1 (Limiting Width to Thickness Ratios) of the
Chapter 3 of IS: 800. (If, the section is slender then apply appropriate correction
factor).
(ii) Calculate effective sectional area, Ae as defined in Clause 7.3.2 of IS: 800
(iii) Calculate effective slenderness ration, KL/r, ratio of effective length KL, to
appropriate radius of gyration, r

(vi) Calculate χ from equation, χ =
(vii) Choose appropriate value of Partial safety factor for material strength, γm0 from
Table 5.2 of Chapter 5 of IS: 800
(viii) Calculate design stress in compression, fcd , as per the following equation (Clause
7.1.2.1 of IS: 800):

(ix) Compute the load Pd, that the compression member can resist Pd = Ae fcd
Calculate the factored applied load and check whether the column is safe against the given
loading. The most economical section can be arrived at by trial and error, i.e. repeating the
above process.
4.2 Tension Members
Tension members are linear members in which axial forces act causing elongation
(stretch). Such members can sustain loads upto ultimate load, at which stage they may fail
by rupture at a critical section. However, if the gross area of the member yields over a
major portion of its length before the rupture load is reached, the member may become
nonfunctional due to the excessive elongation. Plates and other rolled sections in tension
may also fail by block shear of end bolted regions, see (6.4.1).
The factored design tension T, in the members shall satisfy the following requirement
T < Td
where
Td = design strength of the member as given below
The design strength of a member under axial tension, Td, is the lowest of the design
strength due to yielding of gross section, Tdg, rupture of critical section; Tdn and block shear
Tdb, given below
4.2.1 Design Strength due to Yielding of Gross Section
The design strength of members under axial tension, Tdg, as governed by yielding of
gross section, is given by
Tdg = Ag fy /γm0
where
fy = yield stress of the material
Ag = gross area of cross section
γm0 = partial safety factor for failure in tension by yielding (Table 5.2)
4.2.2 Design Strength due to Rupture of Critical Section
Plates − The design strength in tension of a plate, Tdn, as governed by rupture of net
cross sectional area, An, at the holes is given by
Tdn =0.9 An fu / γm1
where
γm1 = partial safety factor for failure at ultimate stress (Table 5.2)
fu = ultimate stress of the material
An = net effective area of the member given by, p

Angles with Single Leg Connections
Other Sections – The rupture strength, Tdn, of the double angles, channels, I sections and
other rolled steel sections, connected by one or more elements to an end gusset is also
governed by shear lag effects. The design tensile strength of such sections as governed by
tearing of net section may also be calculated using equation in 6.3.3, where β is calculated
based on the shear lag distance, bs, taken from the farthest edge of the outstanding leg to the
nearest bolt/weld line in the connected leg of the cross section.
4.2.3 Design Strength due to Block Shear ─ The strength as governed by block shear
at an end connection of plates and angles is calculated as given below:
Bolted Connections – The block shear strength, Tdb, of connection shall be taken as
the smaller of
Tdb = ( Avg fy /( 3 γm0) + 0.9Atn fu /γm1 )
or
Tdb = (0.9Avn fu /( 3 γm1) + Atg fy /γm0 )
where
Avg, Avn = minimum gross and net area in shear along bolt line parallel to external force,
respectively (1-2 and 3-4 as shown in Fig 6.3a and 1-2 as shown in Fig 6.3b)
Atg, Atn = minimum gross and net area in tension from the bolt hole to the toe of the angle,
end bolt line, perpendicular to the line of force, respectively (2-3 as shown in Fig
6.3b)
fu, fy = ultimate and yield stress of the material, respectively

Welded Connection – The block shear strength, Tdb, shall be checked for welded
end connections by taking an appropriate section in the member around the end
weld, which can shear off as a block.

The weight saving is 8.3% and increase in axial load carrying capacity is 17.4% in this case.
From this example it is observed that the parallel flange section (NPB) takes higher
compression load compared to ISMB section for same span of the member. From the tables
we can conclude that parallel flange sections can take higher load due to their better
statical properties.

Capacity of Parallel Flange Sections under Combined Forces
5.1 General
This section governs the design of members subjected to combined forces, such as shear and
bending, axial force and bending, or shear force, axial force and bending.
5.2 Combined Shear and Bending
5.2.1 No reduction in moment capacity of the section is necessary as long as the cross section is
not subjected to high shear force (factored value of applied shear force is less than or equal to
60 percent of the shear strength), and the moment capacity may be taken as, Md,, without any
reduction.
5.2.2 When the factored value of the applied shear force is high (exceeds the limit in 9.2.1 of
IS:800: 2007), the factored moment of the section should be less then the moment capacity of
the section under higher shear force, Mdv, calculated as given below:
a) Plastic or Compact Section
M dv= M d − β (M d − M fd ) ≤ 1.2 ze f y γ m0
where β = (2 V / Vd −1)

Md = plastic design moment capacity of the whole section disregarding high shear force effect
considering web buckling effects (considering partial safety factor)
V = factored applied shear force.as governed by web yielding or web buckling.
Vd = design shear strength as governed by web yielding or web buckling
Mfd = plastic design strength of the area of the cross section excluding the shear area,
considering partial safety factor γm0
b) Semi-compact Section
M dv = Z e f y / γ m 0
where
Ze = elastic section modulus of the whole section

Conservatively, the following equation may be used under combined axial force and bending
moment
N My Mz

N d M dy M dz
where
My, Mz = factored applied moments about the minor and major axis of the cross section,
respectively
Mndy, Mndz = design reduced flexural strength under combined axial force and the respective
uniaxial moment acting alone
N = factored applied axial force (Tension T, or Compression P)
Nd =design strength in tension (Td) or in compression due to yielding given by
N d = Ag f y / γ m 0
Mdy, Mdz = design strength under corresponding moment acting alone
Ag = gross area of the cross section

where
Cmy, Cmz = Equivalent uniform moment factor
P = applied axial compression under factored load
My, Mz = maximum factored applied bending moments about y and z-axis of the
member, respectively.
Pdy, Pdz = design strength under axial compression as governed by buckling about minor
(y) and major(z) axis respectively.
Mdy, Mdz = design bending strength about y (minor) or z (major) axis considering laterally
unsupported length of the cross section
Ky = 1+(λy-0.2)ny ≤ 1+0.8 ny
Kz = 1+(λz-0.2)nz ≤ 1+0.8 nz

KLT = 1 − ≥1 −
( CmLT − 0.25 ) ( CmLT − 0.25)
where, ny, nz = ratio of actual applied axial force to the design axial strength for buckling
about the y and z axis, respectively and
CmLT = Equivalent uniform moment factor for lateral torsional buckling corresponding to
the actual moment gradient between lateral supports against torsional
deformation in the critical region under consideration

Strength tables for axial compression, bending and combined forces have been prepared for
steels of different structural grade. In order to highlight the advantages of parallel flange sections
over ISMB (tapered flange) sections, comparison tables have been prepared. For comparison
purpose steel section requirement for different loads has been calculated both in limit state
method (LSM) and working stress method for parallel flange (PF) beams & ISMB sections for
different spans.
Parallel flanged sections are available in a wide range of categories like Narrow flange
beams, Wide flange beams and bearing pile sections. Narrow and wide flange beams are
also available in three different types of weight, i.e. light weight, standard weight and
heavy weight. So the steel designer has a wide range of sections for selection to perform
an efficient and economical design of columns
ISMB sections are available in limited number upto a depth of 600mm on account of
caliber rolling method
The choice of sections for the conventional tapered flange rolled beams is rather limited.
As a result, when a section is slightly inadequate, the choice is limited to either the next
section available (which is 25% to 40% heavier in weight) or built-up sections through
welding, which are time consuming and expensive.
The use of parallel flange sections reduces the use of built-up sections thereby reducing
the fabrication work and increase the speed of construction.
The parallel flange section have more compression load carrying capacity compared to
conventional ISMB section of equivalent weight as PF section have better statical
properties. The weight of steel columns required will be less in case of parallel flange
section compared to conventional ISMB sections if compared for same loading and span
of the member. Weight saving for practical design cases will be substantial in case of
axial compression member.
The use of parallel flange sections results in overall saving in material. Considerable cost
saving is possible in case of unit rate of PF sections is same as that of ISMB sections.
6.2 Bending Capacities of Parallel Flange Sections
An independent exercise of comparing the bending capacity of ISMB tapered members and
various parallel flanged members for span varying from 3 m to 12 m and yield strength of
material varying from 250 MPa to 410 MPa has been carried out and the results have proved that
the parallel flanged sections are much more efficient. A list of the main advantages of these
sections over conventional tapered flanged sections is as below:
Parallel flanged sections are available up to a depth of 750 mm or even 900 mm for WPB
sections which make these possible to use for heavy loads and long spans. In comparison,
ISMB sections are available only up to a depth of 600 mm and so for heavier load or long
span, the designer has to go for welded section. Usually built-up sections are more
expensive as these sections need more skill and supervision over welding. Use of parallel
flange sections saves fabrication time irrespective of volume of work.
UC, WPB, PBP sections are rolled specifically for efficient use as a column with depth
and width nearly equal to each other. Consequently the moment of inertia about the
minor axis of these sections is considerably higher than that of ISMB sections. This
enhanced property helps the PF sections to be effective in resisting biaxial bending.
Column sections with same or almost same depth and width are available only in parallel
flanged sections (UC, WPB, PBP) and for this unique feature these are having greater
moment of inertia about the minor axis compared to ISMB sections which made them
very much effective in resisting bi-axial bending that may come in the column cases
Parallel flanged sections are available with different weights for the same depth as three
different WPB sections are available with depth 400 mm (WPB WPB 400x400x189.9,
WPB 400x400x219.7 and WPB 400x400x239.6). This enables the structural engineer to
broaden the choice for selection of the sections and thus to economize the designed
structure.
Most importantly, if the strength of both types of sections with the same material
specification is compared for the same span and same loading, it is found that there will
be substantial material saving if parallel flanged sections are used and thus a considerable
saving in the weight of the structure can be achieved.
6.3 Highlights:
• Parallel flange sections can be used as beams & columns in steel structures, without
going for fabricated or compound sections. Rolled section is always preferable to avoid
extra fabrication cost and to save time required for fabrication.
• The weight of steel beam/ column required will be less in case of parallel flange sections
compared to conventional ISMB sections. The advantage in axial compression member is
much higher.
• Considering all above points in mind, it is strongly recommended to the designer and
construction personnel to use parallel flanged sections as far as practicable. This manual
will help to create awareness and increase the consumption of efficient parallel flange
sections resulting in saving of material and cost of the structure.
