Steel Structure Buildings

What Is Steel Structure Buildings

Steel structure buildings are that the main structure adopts steel members, like steel beams, steel columns, steel purlins. Some of the buildings use traditional materials for the wall and roof, and some of them use steel materials as envelope system, like single steel profile sheet, composite board(sandwich panel) which usually filled with EPS, mineral wool(rock wool ), glass wool as the insolation material, for better insulation effect.

Because the steel structure has obvious advantages like lightweight, short construction period, low cost, no harm to the environment, can be recycled, it is been widely used. They are used in several industries, like agriculture, industry, commercial, residential, etc.

Steel structure workshop, steel structure station, steel structure high-rise, supercenter or mall, even some farms for chicken or other poultry.

Just like the traditional buildings, they can be used for any kind of purpose, before you do that, you just need the specific design for your project.

Steel Structure Building Types

There is no strict classify to the steel structure buildings, but they do have some different uses, for steel bridge, industrial workshop, warehouse, aircraft hanger, dockyard, trestle, steel frames for the chemical plant, poultry farm, exhibition hall, train station, airport hall, high-rise, steel villa, etc. Maybe there are some other uses I don’t know. I am glad that if you can show me more.

There are heavy steel structure, light-steel structure, space structure based on the materials.

Steel Structure Buildings’ Characteristics

characteristics of steel structure buildings

Advantages:

1. Short construction period;

2. Large room space, less construction trash, and reduce environmental pollution;

3. Recycle materials;

4. Better anti-seismic characteristic;

5. High strength, lightweight, reduce the cost;

Disadvantages:

1. Need to paint anti-fire coating otherwise collapse when the temperature is more than 800;

2. Easy to corrosion if there is no coating or under a terrible environment

Development of Steel Structure Buildings

The Development:

Steel structure building is widely used in the European and American markets for decades because of its obvious advantages. According to the survey, the 101 super-tall buildings in the world, there are 59 of them are made of pure steel structure, it is more than half. At the same time, more than 60% of the high-end residential buildings in the foreign country adopted the steel structure. The steel structure buildings are no harm to the environment and save energy, and they are the “dark horse” in the real estate products of the 21st century.

In developing countries, the development and application of steel structure lag behind of the developed countries. As the cost of the steel structure buildings is slightly higher than traditional construction(concrete and brick ), they are mainly used for high-rise buildings, public buildings, and other large buildings, the number of steel structure houses is relatively small. The steel structure house is about 60% to 70% of the total residential buildings in the developed countries, which is less than 5% in China.

However, with the development of the economy in recent years, people need more comfortable houses and focus more on the quality, the demand for steel structure buildings is gradually increased. According to the insiders of the relative industry, due to the prominent advantages of steel structure buildings, there is a large space for the development of steel structure buildings, so as the other developing countries.

The Prospect of Steel Structure Buildings

Although the proportion of steel structures in China is far below that of other countries, this also shows that China still has a lot of room for improvement in the field of steel structures, so as the other developing countries. With the improvement of all aspects, China’s steel structure is facing new opportunities.

(A) The increase of steel output has provided the guarantee for the development of steel structure construction, China ranks first in the world for its steel output.

(B) The demand for a low-carbon economy has provided a driving force for the development of steel structure buildings.

The low-carbon economy has brought major opportunities to the global construction industry. From a global perspective, the EU, the United States, Japan and other regions and countries have all consider steel structure construction as the low-carbon economy and green economy. Each country is implementing its own low-carbon program, and the construction industry is one of the focuses.

(C) The demand for construction quality is the necessary condition for the development of steel structure.

No matter the domestic economy or the global economy, they all stride forward. As the economy improves, people’s living standards also improved. After meeting the low level of Maslow’s needs, high-level needs were put on the agenda. The quality of life is the hot talk of modern city people. Housing is the lowest high-level demand, and it is everyone’s concern for the safety and comfort of housing. In every modern city, tall buildings just like bamboo forests, numerous. However, tall buildings require steel structures. The rampant geological disasters make people pay more and more attention to the safety of life and property. In addition to the high-rise buildings require steel structure, many public places are also required to adopt steel structure. Steel structure can greatly improve the housing comfort and safety, meet people’s demand for building quality better.
