In CSA specifications, which category is described by Structural steel plate and shapes?

• A. Structural steel plate and shapes
• B. Stainless steel grade
• C. Non-ferrous alloy
• D. Construction cement

Answer: (A)

CSA specifications group metals by product form and alloy family, so the category that describes structural steel plate and shapes is the one that covers hot-rolled structural carbon steel in plate and the common structural shapes like I-beams, channels, angles, and tees used in construction. This category specifically applies to the form and use of the material in framing and load-bearing members. The other options refer to different material families—stainless steel grade for corrosion-resistant alloys, non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum or copper, and construction cement which is not a metal product and thus not part of the steel category.
