If you’re looking for the most cost-effective building type, it’s
important to consider your potential long-term savings along with
your initial investment in any shape of structures, let’s think
about steel structure.
What is steel structure?
Steel structure is a metal structure which is made of structural
steel components connect with each other to carry loads and provide
full rigidity. Because of the high strength grade of steel, this
structure is reliable and requires less raw materials than other
types of structure like concrete structure and timber structure.
In modern construction, steel structures is used for almost every
type of structure including heavy industrial building, high-rise
building, equipment support system, infrastructure, bridge, tower,
airport terminal, heavy industrial plant, pipe rack, etc.
Structure steel is steel construction material which fabricated
with a specific shape and chemical composition to suit a project’s
applicable specifications.
Depending on each project’s applicable specifications, the steel
sections might have various shapes, sizes and gauges made by hot or
cold rolling, others are made by welding together flat or bent
plates. Common shapes include the I-beam, HSS, Channels, Angles and
Plate.
| Technical parameters: |
| Dimension | Length x width x Eave height, roof slope |
| Type | Single slope, double slope, muti-slope; Single span, double-span , multi-spans; Single floor, double floors , multi-floors |
| Foundation | Concrete and steel foundation bolts |
| Column and beam | Hot rolled or welded H steel Q355B, straight cross-section or
Variable cross-section |
| Bracing | X or V or other type bracing made from angle steel or steel bar |
| C or Z purlin | C/Z section steel with size C160-300 or Z160-300 |
| Roof and wall panel | Single colorful corrugated steel sheet; sandwich panel with insulation of EPS, Rock wool, glass wool or PU |
| Accessories | Semi-transparent skylight belts, Ventilators, down pipe,
gutter,doors,windows, etc |
| Surface treatment | Painting or hot dip galvanized |
Main structural types:
Frame structures: Beams and columns
Grids structures: latticed structure or dome
Prestressed structures
Truss structures: H section or SHS/CHS section chord truss
Arch structure
Bridge
Reasons why steel structure is the best choice?
1. Cost savings
Steel structure is the cost leader for most projects in materials
and design. It is inexpensive to manufacture and erection, requires
less maintenance than other traditional building methods.
2. Creativity
Steel has a natural beauty that most architects can’t wait to take
advantage of. Steel allows for long column-free spans and you can
have a lot of natural light if you want it in any shape of
structures.
3. Control and Management
Steel structures is fabricated at factory and rapidly erected at
construction site by skilled personnel that makes safe construction
process. Industry surveys consistently demonstrate that steel
structures is the optimal solution in management.
4. Durability
It can withstand extreme forces or harsh weather conditions, such
as strong winds, earthquakes, hurricanes and heavy snow. They are
also unreceptive to rust and, unlike wood frames, they are not
affected by termites, bugs, mildew, mold and fungi.
