Overview The 2017 Florida Rolled Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes, and Sheet Piling Code provides comprehensive guidelines for the specification, production, and use of rolled structural steel products in construction. This code covers various steel products, including bars, plates, shapes (such as beams and columns), and sheet piling, which are used in building frames, foundations, retaining walls, and other structural applications.
The code includes specifications for material properties, dimensions, mechanical performance, and corrosion resistance to ensure the structural integrity, safety, and durability of steel components in Florida’s diverse environmental conditions. The 2017 edition aligns with industry standards such as those from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), while incorporating Florida-specific amendments to address the state’s unique regulatory and environmental challenges.
