Results:
The collected data from Lahore, Pakistani market is a bit change from the standards, still there is
not such a huge difference between them. it can be seen from this color code table, the green and
orange shows “Sections on demand”, Yellow color shows that market density of a section is higher
than standard values and Red color shows that market density of a section is lesser than standard
values.

The sections we collected are also found in AISC manual and the industry was willing to supply
all the desire sections on demand

Conclusion:
Sections from market shows little bit lesser density to as AISC specification, this value would be
eradicated during manufacture
