Why Hollow Sections Dominate Modern Steel Frames

Four-way symmetry, torsional stiffness and less surface to protect.

Structural hollow sections (HSS) — round (CHS), square (SHS) and rectangular (RHS) tubing — are the preferred steel shape wherever axial load, bending and torsion combine. Their closed cross-section gives four-way symmetry, high torsional stiffness and roughly 20–30% less surface area than an equivalent open section, which translates directly into lower painting, fire-proofing and maintenance cost over the life of the structure.

HSS are produced by cold-forming and welding strip (ERW/HFW), by forming plate into large rectangular and circular sections (LSAW), by spiral welding (SSAW) for very large diameters, or as seamless tubing for thick-wall and special cases. The grade, the manufacturing route and the surface protection together decide what the section is allowed to do in the frame — the rest of this page walks through each decision, anchored in ASTM A500/A1085, EN 10219/10210, JIS G3466 and GB/T 6728.

HSS are not just ‘tubing’ — they are a structural system advantage. The four cards below weigh a closed section against an open I/W shape on the properties that drive most frame decisions — symmetry, torsion, surface cost and looks, and what each one means on site and in the estimate.

Four reasons engineers specify HSS

Click through to the detail cards below

Geometry

Four-way symmetry

An HSS has the same radius of gyration about both axes, so compression and bending capacity are similar in every direction — ideal for biaxial columns and bracing.

  • Key specifications
  • •  r_x ≈ r_y for SHS/CHS
  • •  No weak-axis penalty
  • •  Compact, predictable buckling
Stiffness

Torsional rigidity

The closed section resists twist far better than an open I or W shape, which matters for curved roofs, sign structures and crane-runway brackets.

  • Key specifications
  • •  ~2× stiffness vs I-beam
  • •  No warping torsion
  • •  Stable under eccentric load
Cost

Less surface area

For the same weight, an HSS presents 20–30% less perimeter than an open section, so paint, galvanizing and intumescent fire coating cost less per tonne.

  • Key specifications
  • •  20–30% less perimeter
  • •  Lower coating cost
  • •  Lower life-cycle maintenance
Architecture

Aesthetic, clean lines

Exposed HSS reads as a single clean member with no flange tips or cope holes — the default choice for architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS).

  • Key specifications
  • •  AESS-friendly
  • •  Fewer connections shown
  • •  Smooth facades & atriums

The Three Hollow Forms: RHS, SHS, CHS

Same steel, three cross-sections — pick by load and look.

All three are made from the same grades and the same manufacturing routes — the difference is the forming die and the end use. RHS is the default for frames; SHS for columns where load is biaxial; CHS where torsion, aesthetics or a welded node dominates.

Typical size ranges

Cold-formed (EN 10219) covers most building HSS; spiral welding reaches 2540 mm OD

FormTypical size rangeWhere it fits best
RHS (rectangular)40×20 – 500×300 mmColumns, beams, trusses, bracing — the all-rounder
SHS (square)20×20 – 400×400 mmBiaxial columns, sign & canopy structures, bollards
CHS (circular)OD 21.3 – 610 mm (ERW); up to 2540 mm (spiral)Towers, masts, arches, nodes, exposed feature members

Six Service Environments for Structural Tubing

Span, load, drag, corrosion or modularity — pick the driver.

From a stadium roof to a warehouse column to an offshore module, the same HSS family serves very different structures. Below are the six service environments we see most often — each pushes a different parameter to the front: span, biaxial load, wind drag, corrosion or modular assembly.

Roofs

Long-span roofs & stadiums

Spatial trusses, arches and reticulated domes where CHS nodes and RHS chords keep weight down while carrying long spans and crowd loads.

  • Key specifications
  • •  CHS K/T/Y nodes
  • •  RHS chords & ties
  • •  EN 1993-1-1 / AISC 360
Buildings

Commercial & industrial buildings

Columns, lattice girders and bracing in SHS/RHS profiles give a compact, clean frame that is fast to erect and cheap to fire-protect.

  • Key specifications
  • •  SHS/RHS columns HSS6–HSS14
  • •  Braced bays
  • •  ≤ 50 m clear span typical
Towers

Towers, masts & facades

Telecom and lighting towers, glazed facade sub-frames and canopies use tapered and straight CHS/SHS for stiffness with minimal wind drag.

  • Key specifications
  • •  CHS tapered masts
  • •  SHS facade mullions
  • •  Galvanized or duplex
Bridges

Bridges & footbridges

Pedestrian footbridges and road-bridge arches use CHS/RHS in weathering or galvanized steel, often with welded nodes for a clean deck edge.

  • Key specifications
  • •  CHS arches & hangers
  • •  RHS deck edge beams
  • •  EN 1993 / AASHTO
Offshore

Offshore & modular units

Topside modules, mezzanines and skid frames use S355 / higher grades in RHS/CHS for stiffness per tonne and easy bolted assembly offshore.

  • Key specifications
  • •  S355J2H / S420MH
  • •  Bolted modular frames
  • •  EN 1090 EXC3
Industrial

Equipment & rack structures

Conveyor trestles, equipment frames and high-bay racking use standardized RHS/SHS for predictable capacity and fast connection to brackets.

  • Key specifications
  • •  RHS chords & posts
  • •  Bolted connections
  • •  ISO 1461 galvanized

Steel Grades for Structural Tubing

Fy drives the allowable stress; impact class drives the climate.

The grade sets the allowable stress, the weld procedure and the low-temperature behaviour. A500 Gr.C and A1085 both sit at 345 MPa minimum yield; EN 10219 S355J2H is the European equivalent with a -20 °C Charpy requirement. For arctic or fatigue-critical nodes, step up to S355K2H (40 J at -20 °C) or hot-finished S355NLH (27 J at -50 °C).

Manufacturing Routes for Structural Tubing

Four processes, one frame spec — choose by diameter and wall.

Four processes — ERW, LSAW, SSAW and seamless — between them cover the entire structural tubing range. Building HSS is almost always ERW; large bridge and tower members are LSAW; the biggest stadium arches and masts are spiral-welded CHS.

Process comparison

Match the process to the diameter, wall and tolerance the frame needs

Seamless (SMLS)10 – 660 mm2 – 80 mmSingle length, no weldThick-wall, special & high-pressure

Wall Thickness & Dimensional Tolerances

Wall sets capacity; tolerance sets how you calculate it.

Wall thickness drives both capacity and cost. Note the AISC 360 rule for cold-formed A500: use 0.93 × nominal wall for section properties because the tolerance is ±10%. A1085 removes that factor with a tighter +10% / -5% wall tolerance and is preferred for fracture-critical and seismic nodes. Corner radius also matters — cold-formed corners are sharper, which can trigger local-buckling limits sooner than hot-finished.

Cold-Formed vs Hot-Finished Hollow Sections

Same shape, different metallurgy — match it to the service.

Both are valid structural hollow sections — the choice is about metallurgy and service. Cold-formed (EN 10219) carries residual stress from forming and has sharper corners, so it is cheaper and fine for static, warm-climate frames. Hot-finished (EN 10210) is normalized during manufacture: lower residual stress, rounded corners, and standard sub-zero impact — the right call for seismic bracing, arctic structures and fatigue-critical nodes.

When to choose which

Cost vs sub-zero toughness vs fatigue — pick by service condition

  • •  Cold-formed (EN 10219): general buildings, warm climates, best cost
  • •  Hot-finished (EN 10210): seismic, arctic, fatigue-critical nodes
  • •  A1085: cold-formed but with AISC 0.93 factor removed + CVN tested

Connection Design: Bolted vs Welded

Bolted for speed, welded for nodes — both per AWS D1.1 / EN 1090.

HSS connections come in two families. Bolted end-plate and bolted-through connections are erected fast with no welding on site — ideal for modular and offshore frames. Welded K/T/Y joints (truss nodes, arches) need careful gap/overlap detail and a full-penetration weld per AWS D1.1; the chord wall must be checked for local failure modes (punching, flexural, shear).

Bolted vs welded HSS connections

Corrosion & Fire Protection

Less surface area — cheaper to coat and to fire-protect.

Because HSS have less surface area than open sections, both corrosion coating and fire protection cost less per tonne. Hot-dip galvanizing (EN ISO 1461) is the default for atmospheric service; a duplex system adds a paint top-coat for coastal or industrial sites. For fire, intumescent coating keeps the clean exposed look, while sprayed SFR or concrete encasement is used where ratings exceed what intumescent can give efficiently.

Design Codes & Standard Stacks

AISC 360 + A500 for US, EN 1993 + EN 10219 for EU, JIS/GB for Asia.

HSS design is governed by a stack of codes: the structural steel code (AISC 360 / EN 1993), the welding code (AWS D1.1 / EN 1090) and the project execution class. The four most common references are AISC 360 (US), EN 1993 (EU), AWS D1.1 (welding) and JIS G 3466 / GB/T 6728 (Asia). Material standards (A500 / A1085 / EN 10219) sit underneath these.

A Six-Step Specification Guide

From loads and code to connection — the spec the mill needs.

1

Define loads & code

Axial, shear, moment and the governing code (AISC 360, EN 1993, GB 50017 or JIS). Seismic / arctic adds impact and ductility limits.

2

Pick the shape

RHS for frames, SHS for biaxial columns, CHS for torsion / nodes / exposed features. Match to the member's dominant load.

3

Choose the grade

A500 Gr.C / A1085 or EN 10219 S355J2H for most work; S355K2H or hot-finished S355NH for low-temp / fatigue; Q355 for China.

4

Set wall & tolerances

From capacity, then apply the tolerance rule: 0.93× nominal wall for cold-formed A500 (A1085 removes it). Check compactness limits.

5

Select route & coating

ERW for building HSS, LSAW/SSAW for large members. Galvanize (EN ISO 1461) or duplex for atmosphere; intumescent for exposed fire rating.

6

Detail connections

Bolted end-plate for speed, welded CJP K/T/Y nodes for trusses per AWS D1.1 / EN 1993-1-8. Confirm chord wall capacity.

Regional Standards for Structural Hollow Sections

Note: For dynamic, seismic or low-temperature structures, specify hot-finished EN 10210 with J2 toughness. The corner regions of cold-formed sections carry strain-hardening and residual stress, which matters exactly where connections are welded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Eight questions we hear most often from structural engineers, fabricators and estimators.

What grade should I specify for a building column in a cold climate?

Use EN 10219 S355J2H (27 J at -20 °C) or ASTM A500 Gr.C / A1085 for general work. For arctic or fatigue-critical nodes step up to S355K2H (40 J at -20 °C) or hot-finished S355NLH (27 J at -50 °C). The impact class, not just the yield, should drive the choice.

Do I really need to apply the 0.93 wall-thickness factor?

For cold-formed ASTM A500 yes — AISC 360 requires 0.93 × nominal wall because the tolerance is ±10%. ASTM A1085 removes that factor with a tighter tolerance and is preferred where the reduction would otherwise erode capacity. EN 10219 uses the measured wall.

Can I use spiral-welded (SSAW) pipe as structural CHS?

Yes for large members — stadium arches, masts and bridge hangers up to 2540 mm OD are commonly spiral-welded. Specify the grade (e.g. S355J2H) and the weld-seam NDT (100% UT/RT) explicitly, since SSAW is not covered by A500; reference EN 10219 or the project material spec.

Bolted or welded connections for HSS?

Bolted end-plate or bolted-through for fast, no-weld site erection (modular, offshore). Welded CJP K/T/Y joints for trusses and arches — design the node per AWS D1.1 / EN 1993-1-8 and check chord wall failure modes.

How do I protect HSS against corrosion and fire?

Hot-dip galvanize per EN ISO 1461 for atmosphere; add a paint top-coat (duplex) for coastal / industrial. For fire rating keep the clean look with intumescent coating (EN 13381-4 / UL 1709); use sprayed SFR or concrete encasement above ~120 min. HSS need less coating than open sections.

What documentation comes with a structural HSS delivery?

EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate as standard, third-party 3.2 on request, full heat-number and size traceability, weld-seam NDT reports, and galvanizing / coating certificates where applied.

Why do cold-formed corners matter at connections?

Cold forming strain-hardens the corner radii and leaves residual stress; welded nodes landing on those corners then see reduced local ductility. Hot-finished (EN 10210) sections are heat-treated after forming, relaxing these effects — the reason fatigue- and seismic-sensitive nodes often mandate hot-finished tube.

Can hollow sections be hot-dip galvanized without distortion?

Yes — with vent and drain holes sized to the galvanizer’s guidance. Sealed hollow sections build internal pressure at the ≈ 450 °C zinc bath temperature, which is why venting is mandatory. We can supply HSS with pre-drilled venting or agree hole positions with your galvanizer before delivery.
