WHY STEEL STRUCTURE?
Steel structures are the perfect solution for building high-performance projects. They offer a multitude of benefits that meet the demanding requirements of quality, aesthetics, and rapid construction. Let’s explore some of the most significant advantages of using pre-engineered steel buildings:
Because of the light weight of steel buildings, lighter foundation requirements significantly reduce costs. In addition, short construction time significantly reduces labor costs at the construction site.
Steel has a natural beauty that most architects are attracted to. Steel allows long column-free spans and you can have a lot of natural light, aesthetically built in various shapes of structures.
Steel structures are fabricated at the factory and rapidly erected at the construction site by a skilled workforce that makes the construction progress safe. Industry surveys show that steel structure is the optimal solution in management.
Due to its lightweight and high rigidity, it is easy and fast to transport and assemble. Steel structure can be modified in the future for new applications, load, vertical expansion, changes at the request of the investor that other framework systems cannot be modified.
With high strength and reliability, steel structures can withstand extreme forces or extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds, earthquakes, storms, and snowfall. This structure is also not susceptible to rust, unlike wooden frames, they are not affected by termites, bugs and mold.
Steel is an easy-to-shape material, so steel structure is always the first choice for high-art constructions.
HOW IS STEEL STRUCTURE FORMED?
A steel structure is a metal structure formed from steel components linked together to transmit and bear load. Thanks to the high tensile strength of steel, this structure is very solid and requires less material than other types of structures such as concrete or timber structures.
In modern construction, steel structures are used for almost all types of building structures including heavy industrial factory buildings, high-rise buildings, equipment support systems, infrastructure, bridges, towers, airport terminals, rack systems, etc.
Steel structures are steel construction materials manufactured with specific shapes and chemical compositions, suitable to the technical requirements of each project.
Depending on the specifications applied to each project, steel structures might come in various shapes and sizes, different fabrications (hot rolled, welded steel sheets together or bent steel plates). Common shapes include: I-Beam, HSS, Angle, Z, C (Channel), Tee, Ray, Bar, Rod, Plate,…
