The purpose of this study is to increase applicability of high strength steel, HSA800 to the structure. Selected study of structure is to consider high strength steel, and following parts, 1) Tensile member with no consider of buckling, 2) Truss existing both tension and compression members with small slenderness ratio. This studied structure is included tension column hang on to the upper bridge truss. The structure element quantity with apply HSA800 instead of SM570 is reduced about 38.9% of tension column and 29.7% of bridge truss. In addition, the number of element's division is reduced about two sections due to reduction of self weight that the crane is able to lift up. This improves to reduce erection sequence and construction period which can save about a month. All connections are reviewed as welding and bolt. Also, the cost of welding is reduced about 41.3% due to apply HSA800. In conclusion, applying HSA800 to the hanging structure aggressively can secure economic and constructability.

This paper presents test results of bending and weld joint of the HSA800. HSA800 for the high performance steel has a minimum 800MPa tensile strength. HSA800 can effectively reduce the size and thickness of structural member for high-rise building. Bending test and weld joint test of HSA800 are conducted to verify fabrication and performance of steel pile. Test results show that HSA800 is appropriate to make a heavy wall steel pipe. The fracture is occurred at the base metal of weld joint which can exhibit strength higher than its base metal.
