I don't normally hear rod, plate and bar called "Structural steel". To me, structural steel means a more complex shape, like all the other items listed on this page. A plate is just a plate, even if it's made out of vacuum arc remelt stainless.-- Yannick 05:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
The overflowing information in the "captions" can be moved to the content of the article. — Dogears 22:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I intend to remove the sidebar box that is mostly about rebar cages, as it has nothing at all to do with structural steelwork. Would anyone prefer to move it to the article on reinforced concrete perhaps? -- Kvetner 17:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
If you delete it, I'd advocate you moving it. I expanded the "Steel vs Concrete" section of this article to explain the linkage, and that rebar isn't considered "structural steel". Georgewilliamherbert 20:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I was searching for angle iron and was redirected to this page, but there is no mention of it. Wakablogger2 ( talk) 23:32, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
The fireproofing section has a paragraph about OWSJs and an image, however, I don't think OWSJ are structural steel, therefore it should be deleted. However, I'm not an expert and don't know for sure; can others chime in? Wizard191 ( talk) 18:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
No consensus to move. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:17, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Structural steel → Structural metal — Because structural shapes are also commonly made out of other materials, such as aluminum, per [1] and [2]. Wizard191 ( talk) 02:18, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
The entry "Rod, a round or square and long piece of metal or wood" does not denote solid or hollow. My understanding in the industry is simply that a rod is solid and a tube is hollow.

In the sentence
"very stiff in respect to" may be specific enuf to be unambiguous to structural engineers, but is insufficiently so for 'pedia users, who may need a more explicitly mathematical statement or re-statement of what ratio's value is intended to be high.
I'm also converting "second moments of area" (which is cryptic even for many other kinds of engineer) to a link, in case that article does/will exist.
