N2  - This paper presents data on the elevated-temperature mechanical properties of hot rolled structural steel used in buildings and explains their physical meaning. The properties include Poisson's ratio, thermal expansion and phase transformation, stress-strain relationships, and elastic modulus. Some room temperature data are given as benchmarks. It also attempts to explain some anomalies in elastic modulus measurements and the difficulties in idealizing stress-strain data.<p />
