Structural steel shall consist of the elements of the structural frame that are shown and sized in the structural design documents, essential to support the design loads and described as follows:
| Anchor rods that will receive structural steel |
| Base plates, if part of the structural steel frame |
| Beams, including built-up beams, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates |
| Bearing plates, if part of the structural steel frame |
| Bearings of steel for girders, trusses, or bridges |
| Bracing, if permanent |
| Canopy framing, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates |
| Columns, including built-up columns, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates |
| Connection materials for framing structural steel to structural steel |
| Crane stops, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates |
| Door frames, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates and if part of the structural steel frame |
| Edge angles and plates, if attached to the structural steel frame or steel (open-web) joists |
| Embedded structural steel parts, other than bearing plates, that will receive struc-tural steel |
| Expansion joints, if attached to the structural steel frame |
| Fasteners for connecting structural steel items: permanent shop bolts, nuts, and washers; shop bolts, nuts, and washers for shipment; field bolts, nuts, and washers for permanent connections; and permanent pins |
| Floor-opening frames, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates and attached to the structural steel frame or steel (open-web) joists |
| Floor plates (checkered or plain), if attached to the structural steel frame |
| Girders, including built-up girders, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates |
| Girts, if made from standard structural shapes Grillage beams and girders |
| Hangers, if made from standard structural shapes, plates, and/or rods and framing structural steel to structural steel |

Relieving angles, if attached to the structural steel frame
Roof-opening frames, if made from standard structural shapes and/or plates and attached to the structural steel frame or steel (open-web) joists
Roof-screen support frames, if made from standard structural shapes
Sag rods, if part of the structural steel frame and connecting structural steel to structural steel
Shear stud connectors, if specified to be shop attached
Shims, if permanent
Steel plate shear walls and/or composite steel plate shear wall systems, and steel plate structures, if made from standard shapes and/or plates, and if part of the structural steel frame
Struts, if permanent and part of the structural steel frame
Tie rods, if part of the structural steel frame

Commentary
The fabricator normally fabricates the items listed in Section 2.1. Such items should be shown, sized, and described in the structural design documents. Bracing includes vertical bracing for resistance to wind and seismic load and structural stability, horizontal bracing for floor and roof systems, and permanent stability bracing for components of the structural steel frame.
