Overview ASTM A588/A588M is a standard developed by ASTM International that provides guidelines and requirements for the production of high-strength low-alloy structural steel with enhanced atmospheric corrosion resistance. This standard specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensions of the steel to ensure its suitability for use in structural applications, particularly in environments where atmospheric corrosion resistance is a key concern.
The 2015 Ohio High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel with Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance Code is based on ASTM A588/A588M-15 with Ohio-specific amendments. This code sets the minimum standards for the manufacturing, quality control, and use of high-strength low-alloy structural steel within the state of Ohio. The Ohio-specific amendments include additional provisions tailored to the unique structural and environmental conditions in Ohio, ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of the steel in construction projects.
