The present invention discloses a steel plate for a building structure with yield strength of 460 MPa, and a manufacturing method thereof. Chemical components of the steel plate comprise, by weight, 0.05-0.10% of C, 0.2-0.3% of Si, 1.40-1.60% of Mn, 0.025-0.060% of Nb, 0.015-0.030% of Ti, 0.015-0.045% of Als, one selected from 0.2-0.4% of Cr, 0.10-0.30% of Mo and 0.0010-0.0020% of B, and the balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities, wherein the
impurity elements are controlled, and comprise, by weight, less than or equal to 0.015% of P, less than or equal to 0.005% of S, less than or equal to 0.0040% of [N], and less than or equal to 0.0020% of [O]. The manufacturing method comprises that: the steel billet
heating temperature is 1180-1220 DEG C; at the first phase, the rolling starting temperature is 1040-1080 DEG C, and the rolling finishing temperature is 950-1000 DEG C; at the second phase, the rolling starting temperature is 920-870 DEG C, the rolling finishing temperature is controlled to 800-850 DEG C, the amount of the rolling accumulation and deformation in the recrystallization area is more than 60%; after hot rolling, a temperature waiting treatment is performed, and then a
water cooling treatment is performed, wherein the temperature
waiting time is more than 15 seconds, the
water cooling starting temperature is 680-750 DEG C, the
cooling rate is 5-9 DEG C per second, and the self-
tempering temperature is 450-620 DEG C. The steel plate of the present invention has characteristics of simple chemical components, carbon equivalent less than 0.40,
yield ratio less than 0.80 and simple production process.
