Elastic Modulus of Structural Steel
Easysteelelastic modulus
What is the approximate elastic modulus of structural steel?
- A20 GPa
- B70 GPa
- C100 GPa
- D200 GPa
Show solutionHide solution
Answer: D. 200 GPa
Structural steel is commonly modeled with E ≈ 200 GPa (about 29,000 ksi). This is stiffness, not yield strength.
