Answer #1

Built-up section made by joining two or more section ( may be or may not be rolled) built up sections are capable fulfill the design requirements of structural loads.

Advantage of using buit up section

  • Built up section can be made in the desirable dimensions hence it is more economical then the standard section which have limited and fixed dimensions
  • Built-up columns are used when the height of the column is such that a rolled section cannot provide a sufficiently large radius of gyration hence in compression members Engineer prefer to use built up section to provide desirable radius of gyration
