A designer must choose between A36 and A572 steel as a structural material in a large building structure. A36 steel is an all-purpose carbon structural steel that has a minimum yield stress (Fy) of 36 000 lb/in2 and a minimum ultimate tensile strength (Fu) of 58 000 lb/in2. A572 steel is a high-strength low-alloy steel that is available in grade 60 with an Fy value of 60 000 lb/in2 and an Fu value of 75 000 lb/in2. Compare the differences in yield stress and ultimate tensile strength between the two steels by percentage.
