Manual
Dear Designer,
Welcome to the world of structural tubes - Tata Structura, from Tata Steel !
This new-age structural material from Tata Steel opens up a world of possibilities for designers.
The excellent distribution of material around the axis of Tata Structura steel hollow sections,
ensures remarkable strength with decisive advantages in application. High torsional rigidity and
compressive strength ensures greater efficiency, while higher strength to weight ratio
guarantees extra savings in steel. The smooth, uniform profile minimises dust accumulation
and facilitates easy, on-site fabrication.
Overall, Tata Structura ensures significant enhancement in aesthetics and visual appeal and is
being increasingly used in iconic structures countrywide.
In this Version-II of the designers manual, we have refined the designs with higher grade of
steel YST 310 to ensure further saving in weight. We have also added design examples of
Portal Frames and built up purlins in flat slopes.
We hope you will find this manual a useful reference guide to aid you in the designing of
contemporary structures.
Yours sincerely,
Kulvin Suri
