How do I determine elastic modulus of structural steel?

Tensile Strength KSI is: 58 (Grade B) or 62 (Grade C). Yield Strength 46 (B) or 50 (C) and % Elong on 2" 23 (B) and 21 (C). If that helps.

1. You have to look it up, maybe start with Matweb. This is a stress/strain, so the actual data curve is needed to give the data. A lot of structual steel can be a A36, meaning a 36ksi yield.
2. The elastic/ tensile/ Young's modulus is the gradient of the slope of the proportional part of the stress/strain curve and can be determined by finding that gradient. All steels have a tensile modulus of between 190 and 210 GPa, depending on the type. Structural steels (in EN 10025) fall in the region of 200 GPa
