In order to make steel structures, for example, beams and columns, the standard sections are combined in a suitable way. Such a combined section is called a built-up section.
Figure 24.2 shows built-up sections composed of I-sections only. Likewise Fig. 24.3 shows built-up sections formed by combining I-section and plates.

Figure 24.4 shows the combination of I and channel sections, whereas Fig. 24.5 shows combination of channel and plates.

Figure 24.6 shows combination of angle sections and plates.
Built-up sections are used for columns, beams, girders and other structural needs.
