Characteristics and applications of steel structures

Steel structure is a building structure composed of various types of steel, steel plates, and fasteners. For buildings with brick concrete and frame structures, the beams and columns are made of reinforced concrete, while for steel structures, the beams and columns are made of steel materials and undergo rust prevention treatment to extend the service life of steel structures.

The characteristics of steel structure:

1、 The structure has high strength, strong resistance to deformation, and overall weight is lighter compared to concrete structures, with good seismic performance.

2、 Factory prefabricated processing, on-site assembly and molding, convenient construction, and short construction period.

3、 The connection between components such as steel structure beams and columns is carried out through bolts, rivets, and welding, which has the characteristics of high flexibility and good sealing.

4、 The overall material is uniform, with good plasticity and stability.

5、 Green and environmentally friendly, compared to concrete structures, steel structure buildings can still be used after rust removal and rust prevention treatment for their component steel after demolition, without generating construction waste.

The use of steel structures:

Based on the characteristics of high strength and light overall weight of steel structures, they are often used in high-rise building structures, bridges, tunnels, large and large-span factories or sports venues. With the continuous maturity of technology, the use of steel structures is gradually moving towards the category of prefabricated housing.
