Long Life Span Rigid Frame Prefabricated Steel Structure Workshop
Building Solution
Long Life Span Rigid Frame Prefabricated Steel Structure Workshop
Building Solution uses steel to form a load-bearing structure. Generally, the
load-bearing structure called main frame, which are consist of
beam, column and truss. The bracing system are including tie bar,
knee bracing, staying bar, column bracing, as well as horizontal
bracing. Together with roof system, wall system, and floor system,
they are conforming an entire metal structure building.
Compared with traditional concrete buildings, metal workshop
buildings apply steel plates or sectional steel instead of
reinforced concrete, thus the workshop steel structure performs
much higher strength, and better seismic resistance. Because of the
components mostly being prefabricated in factories and assembled
on-site, the construction period is greatly reduced. Due to the
re-usability of steel, it can greatly reduce construction waste and
become more environmentally friendly.

Advantages of Metal Structure Workshop
1. Easy to assemble
The steel components arriving at the construction site are all
prefabricated. During the construction process, the installation
work needs to layout each structure and erect it according to the
installation drawing.
The installation sequence of the steel workshop building is:
First, install the steel columns and column cross-bracing and
install roof beams and roof horizontal bracing. Finally, installs
the purlin and enclosure structure.
2. Reasonable cost:
The steel structure workshop building is light in weight, reducing
the basic cost, and the construction speed is fast. It can be
completed and put into production as soon as possible. The overall
economic benefits are much better than that of the concrete
structure
3. Simple construction, short construction period.
The production and installation of steel structure usually involve
processing all required components in the factory and then
transporting to the construction site to assemble. So the
construction period is greatly shortened. A 4000 square meter
building can be basically installed in only 40 days.
4. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly
The corrugated color steel sheet and sandwich panels used in the
prefab steel structure workshop are all energy-saving materials.
The steel structure also adopts dry construction during the
construction process to avoid dust and environmental pollution
caused by concrete construction.
Design Important Factors
1. Reasonable column spacing
Steel structure buildings mainly apply H-section steel columns and
steel beams. The spacing of H-section steel columns has a
significant influence on the total quantity of steel used and the
total cost. We usually apply economic column distance of 6.8m to
9m, based on the normal load of the structures.
As for the projects with special needs, that can be flexibly
adjusted. The determination of building height should not only meet
the requirements of production equipment and production operations
but also consider the height of maintenance more comprehensively.
2. Proper lighting and ventilation design
As the enterprises adopt intensive production, the characteristics
of large-span and large-space internal spaces are becoming more and
more apparent. Therefore, steel building design should pay
attention to lighting and ventilation design from the perspective
of humanization and energy saving. When the workshop building is
tall, the openable window at the bottom of the side exterior wall
is used as the primary air inlet. By installing a roof ventilator,
the ventilation and lighting problems are easily solved, and the
actual operation is relatively simple.
Difference between metal structure building and concrete building
1.Short construction period
In terms of the construction cycle, the steel structure has obvious
advantages. The construction of the steel structure building is
very fast because it is prefabricated in the factory and assembled
on the construction site. Only slight weld works need be applied on
site.
2. Environmental Friendly
After transported to the construction site, the steel components
only need to be hoisted and spliced. The whole process can be
operated without water. There is no flying sand and a large amount
of dust, which can reduce environmental pollution and impact on
nearby residents.
3. Favorable Cost
Steel structure buildings save construction period and labor costs
compared with concrete buildings. The total cost of a steel
structure building roughly is 20%~30% lower than that of
traditional concrete building. What’s more, steel structure is more
robust and more durable than concrete.
4. Structure Weight
The steel structure itself has the characteristics of lightweight.
The walls and roofs of the steel structure are made of light metal building materials, which are much lighter
than the brick-concrete wall and roof.
