SHS 110x110x8 is a cold-formed welded square hollow section with equal outside width and depth. This reference page brings together the listed geometry, sectional area, unit weight, applicable standard reference, and a downloadable DWG file for drafting workflows.
Use the source values below when checking a drawing, preparing a preliminary material schedule, or comparing square hollow sections. For design work, confirm the required steel grade, loading, connection details, corrosion allowance, fabrication requirements, and applicable project rules with the responsible engineer.
SHS 110x110x8
Cold Formed Welded Square Steel Tubes
refer to : EN 10219-2
the European standard that specifies tolerances, dimensions, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections made of non-alloy and fine grain steels. It complements EN 10219-1, which covers technical delivery conditions.
Dimension : 110x110x8
Depth : 110 mm
Width : 110 mm
Thickness : 8 mm
Outer Corner Radius : 20 mm
Inner Corner Radius : 12 mm
Sectional Area : 30.44 cm2
Unit Weight : 23.9 kg/m
How to read the SHS 110x110x8 designation
In an SHS designation, the first two dimensions identify the outside width and depth, while the final dimension identifies the nominal wall thickness. Because the first two dimensions are equal, the section has a square outside profile. The source content also identifies the outside and inside corner radii, which are important when modeling the section or checking clearances at connections.
Reference standard and section data
The page refers to EN 10219-2, which addresses dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. The source also notes the relationship with EN 10219-1, which covers technical delivery conditions. These references should be read alongside the project specification and procurement documentation rather than treated as a substitute for them.
The listed sectional area supports section-property review and material takeoff work. The listed unit weight expresses mass per unit length; it should not be confused with a member’s design resistance or allowable load. Additional checks may be needed for axial force, bending, buckling, local slenderness, welds, bolts, base plates, and other connection components.
Drafting and CAD use
The available DWG download can help users place the SHS profile into a drawing or develop a connection detail. Before issuing a drawing, verify the downloaded geometry against the source dimensions and the project’s required units, layer standards, section orientation, and fabrication notes. Related resources on steel sections, section properties, steel connections, and CAD and DWG references can provide useful supporting context.
Frequently asked questions
What does SHS mean?
SHS means square hollow section. It describes a hollow steel profile with a square outside shape, subject to the listed wall thickness and corner geometry.
What does 110x110x8 mean?
The designation identifies the outside depth, outside width, and nominal wall thickness in the order shown on this page. The source block provides the corresponding dimensions in millimeters.
What is the purpose of EN 10219-2 here?
EN 10219-2 is the dimensional and sectional-property reference identified in the source content for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. Product delivery requirements are addressed separately through the related standard reference noted on the page.
Is the unit weight the same as design capacity?
No. Unit weight describes the mass of the section per unit length. Design capacity depends on factors such as material specification, member length, restraint, loading, stability, connections, and the governing design rules.
Can the DWG file be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is a drafting reference. Check its geometry, units, tolerances, detailing, weld information, and project requirements before using it in an issued fabrication or construction drawing.
