ASTM A1085 HSS

Data Manual
 ASTM A1085

ASTM A1085 is a new HSS specification designed with enhanced

performance. This critical improvement makes HSS design easier
and more effective for dynamically loaded structures. ASTM A1085
was designed for use in applications such as: buildings, bridges,
towers, cranes, sign supports and poles, off-shore production
and drilling platforms, Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS),
and Falling-Over Protective Structures (FOPS).

Tighter material tolerances and a single minimum yield

stress of 50 ksi
More stringent wall tolerances and the addition of a mass toler-
ance mean the full nominal wall thickness can be used for design
of HSS. This means no longer needing to reduce the nominal wall
thickness by 0.93 as prescribed in the AISC Steel Construction
Manual for both member selection and connection design. More
area available for design and a higher min yield means that HSS
are more economical and more efficient.

Maximum specified yield stress of 70 ksi

The maximum yield will result in a lower expected yield strength
and reduce capacity design requirements and column required
strengths in seismic designs. This is the only specification used in
North America or Europe that limits the maximum yield stress in
HSS.

Standard requirement for Charpy notch toughness

New specification will require all HSS to meet a minimum CVN
value of 25 ft-lb @ 40 F, which corresponds to AASHTO Zone 2.
Having the minimum CVN required makes HSS more suitable for
use in dynamically loaded structures.
