Rule 48.2
48.2 Structural Steel
Steel structures, steel structural members and their connections, shall be designed and constructed so that the structures and parts thereof will not fail or be seriously distorted at any load less than the maximum working loads developed under the construction arrangement with loadings as specified in Rule 43) multiplied by the safety factors specified in Rule 44.
The safety factors specified in Rule 44 shall be applied as follows to structural steel:
Tensions and Bending: The yield point, 33,000 pounds per square inch, shall be divided by the safety factor to determine the maximum allowable working stress.
Compression: The maximum allowable working stress shall be calculated by the following formula:
where Smax = maximum allowable working stress, lbs per sq in.
fs = safety factor specified in Rule 44
YP = yield point of the steel, 33,000 lbs per sq in.
l = unsupported length of member, inches
r = radius of gyration of member, inches
Shear: The ultimate tensile strength, 60,000 pounds per square inch, shall be multiplied by 2/3 and divided by the safety factor specified in Rule 44 to determine the maximum allowable working stress.
Where the figures given are used, structural steel shall conform to Standards Specifications A7-39 of American Society for Testing Materials for carbon steel of structural quality. Other values may be used for steel of other strength provided the yield point and ultimate tensile strength are determined by test.

Structural Steel
Material (other than wood)
Steel structures,
steel structural members and their connections, shall be designed and
constructed so that the structures and parts thereof will not fail or be
seriously distorted at any load less than the maximum working loads developed
under the construction arrangement with loadings as specified in Rule 43)
multiplied by the safety factors specified in Rule 44.
The safety factors specified in Rule 44 shall be applied as follows to structural steel:
Tensions and Bending: The yield point, 33,000 pounds per square inch, shall be divided by the safety factor to determine the maximum allowable working stress.
Compression: The maximum allowable working stress shall be calculated by the following formula:
where Smax = maximum allowable working stress, lbs per sq in.
fs = safety factor specified in Rule 44
YP = yield point of the steel, 33,000 lbs per sq in.

r = radius of gyration of member, inches
Shear: The ultimate tensile strength, 60,000 pounds per square inch, shall be multiplied by 2/3 and divided by the safety factor specified in Rule 44 to determine the maximum allowable working stress.
Where the figures given are used, structural steel shall conform to Standards Specifications A7-39 of American Society for Testing Materials for carbon steel of structural quality. Other values may be used for steel of other strength provided the yield point and ultimate tensile strength are determined by test.
For other structural materials (other than concrete), the safety factor specified in Rule 44 shall be applied as follows:
Tension: The yield strength of the material used shall be divided by the safety factor specified in Rule 44 to determine the maximum allowable working stress.
Compression: The ultimate compressive strength of the material used be divided by the safety factor specified in Rule 44 to obtain the allowable working stress. The ultimate compressive strength shall be determined by suitable formulas for material used, considering yield strength of the material, modulus of elasticity, slenderness ratio and eccentricity of connection. In no case shall the ultimate compressive stress be greater than the yield strength of the material.
Shear: The ultimate shear strength of the material used be divided by the safety factor specified in Rule 44 to determine the maximum allowable working stress.
