What Is Steel Structure Building?

What Is Steel Frame Construction?

Use of Steel Frame Structures

1. High rise buildings because of its strength, low weight, and speed of construction.
2. Public buildings and Malls because of their ability to create large span spaces at low cost.
3. Warehouse buildings because of its strength and its ability to create large-span spaces.
4. Residential buildings due to a technique called light gauge steel construction.

Types of Steel Building Construction

1. Conventional Steel Fabrication.
2. Bolted Steel Fabrication.
3. Light Gauge Steel Construction.

What Is Steel Beam Construction?

Advantages of Steel Beam Construction

1. Structural steel that is used in Steel Beam Constructions is recyclable, unlike many other construction materials.
2. Structural steel used in making steel beams has a high strength to weight ratio, making it quite durable.
3. Structural steel that is used in Steel Beam Constructions has high life expectancy than construction material such as wood because wood is likely to get rotten faster.
4. The chemical composition of steel beams used in Steel Beam Constructions makes them resistant to corrosion. It prevents them from causing internal damage that may otherwise affect the durability of the structure.

Advantages of Steel Frame

1. Structural steel components that are used in steel frames are lighter, stronger and have more tensile strength than wood, bamboo or concrete products.
2. Steel frame construction far stronger and more durable than traditional wood frame alternatives due to their molecular properties and arrangements.
3. Steel studs that are used in steel frames are available in a variety of sizes and can be fabricated order. This means the steel studs can be cut, bolted and welded to bear the required loads in buildings of all different types and sizes.
4. Steel frame constructions are highly resistant to fire, because of the steel components which are made up of metal, which reduces the fire risk to a civil structure and stops the spread of a fire.
5. Special flame retardant coatings can be applied over the steel frames to increase fire resistance property of structural steel.
6. Mild steel parts that are used in steel frames are immune to the degrading effects of insects and mammals that tend to burrow or dug in the structures, which cause a problem for the wooden framework.

Disadvantages of Steel Frame

1. Steel components that are used in steel frames are not known for its warmth, due to its high efficiency in conducting heat.
2. One of the benefits of using bamboo or wooden frames and structural components is that their ability to adjust them on site like cutting them down to size, nails hammered in them to strengthen the join and so on.
3. This obviously can’t happen with steel that is used in steel frames.
4. Steel components used in steel frames are an alloy of iron which makes them susceptible to corrosion.
5. Steel components used in steel frames have high maintenance costs because, in order to prevent them from corrosion and structural damage to the structure, painting is done on the steel surface after a certain interval of time.

Advantages of Steel Frame

• Faster Build Time.
• Steel is Eco-Friendly.
• Outstanding Durability.
• Lightweight.
• Lower Costs in the Long Run.
• Incredibly Versatile.
• Hybrids with Other Building Materials.
• Easy Fabrication.

Disadvantages of Steel Frame

• Steel is an alloy of iron. This makes it susceptible to corrosion.
• There are extensive fireproofing costs involved, as steel is not fireproof. In high temperatures, steel loses its properties.
• Buckling is an issue with steel structures.

Steel Frame Structure Examples

1. Beijing National Stadium, Beijing.
2. Empire State Building.
3. Sydney Harbour Bridge.
4. Burj Khalifa, Dubai.
5. Brooklyn Bridge.
6. Taipei 101 Tower in Taiwan.
7. Shun Hing Square Tower, Shenzen.
8. Willis Tower, Chicago. Chicago's Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, is a remarkable structure to look at.

Metal Building Construction Type

Types of Metal Building Construction

• Plain Carbon Steel Or Mild Steel. This is the most common type of steel used in building construction, known as plain-carbon steel or mild steel.
• Rebar Steel Commonly known as reinforcing steel, this type of steel is used as a tension device for reinforced concrete or reinforced masonry structures.
• Structural Steel.
