Steel construction buildings are widely known by us now due to more advantage that concrete building isn't equiped with.These pre-fabricated steel structures can be quickly installed and can be ready to use almost instantly. This is particularly helpful for companies that look for building flexibility in this rapidly changing market. Gone are the days of many waiting months for a new manufacturing facility to be set up. The speed of setting up the steel building manufacturing facility is poised to be the reliable, fast and economical building of tomorrow, helping companies save up to millions of dollars from poor logistics and to stay ahead of the competitors.
The Type of Steel Construction Building Structures
The portal steel frame comprises hot-rolled or welded section steel, cold-formed C/Z steel, and steel pipe as the main force-bearing components and adopts a light roof and wall structure. The Portal frame is the most common form of the light steel structure.
The rigid portal frame is a structure in which beams and columns are rigidly connected. It has the characteristics of a simple structure, lightweight, reasonable stress, and simple construction. With the features of large span ,without centre column,warehouse and workshop for factory is recommended.
The steel frame structure comprises beams and columns that can withstand vertical and horizontal loads. Columns, beams, bracing, and other members are rigidly or hingedly connected to form a flexible layout and create a larger space. It is widely used in a multi-story, high-rise, super high-rise buildings, commercial office buildings, conference centers, and other buildings.
3. Steel Truss Structure
The steel truss structure comprises several rods hinged at both ends of each rod. It can be divided into a plane truss and a space truss. According to the parts section, it can be divided into tube truss and angle steel truss. The truss generally comprises the upper chord, lower chord, vertical rod, diagonal web, and inter-truss support. The steel used in trusses is less than that of solid web beams, the structural weight is lighter, and the rigidity is greater.
The advantage of the steel truss is that it is used to form more significant members with smaller cross-sections. It is often used in roofs, bridges, TV towers, mast towers, marine oil platforms, and tower corridors of industrial and civil buildings.
The grid structure comprises many rods according to a specific rule, with small space stress, lightweight, high rigidity, and excellent seismic resistance. It is used as a gymnasium, exhibition hall, and aircraft hangar.
