SHS Steel Profiles.

Classes:

  • SHS –

    Geometrical representation of SHS steel profiles.

structural_sections.steel.standard_profiles.shs.SHS

Geometrical representation of SHS steel profiles.

This class provides access to standard SHS profiles from a predefined database. Profiles can be accessed as class attributes using their standardized names. Each accessed profile returns a RHSProfile instance.

Note: the corners of SHS profiles are not of constant thickness but are thicker, this feature has not been implemented yet in Blueprints. The corners are conservatively approximated by assuming a constant radius following the outside perimeter.

Usage example 
>>> profile = SHS.SHS100x5
>>> print(isinstance(profile, RHSProfile))  # True
>>>
>>> # To iterate over all available SHS profiles:
>>> for profile in SHS:
...     print(isinstance(profile, RHSProfile))  # True
