Steel has been used for constructing large span steel structures all over the world. With the introduction of standard sections,
large span steel structures are getting much more popular as a choice of
construction for high-rise buildings and heavy structures. Strong, Versatility,
economy and plentiful are some favorable properties of steel that makes it one
of the most efficient materials for use in large span steel structures.
The availability of steel sections in a variety of
dimensional ranges provides the designers with a wide variety of design
options. These sections are manufactured in convenient shapes, sizes and
thickness. They can be readily fabricated, combined and connected to form
unlimited possibility of designs.
Features
of Structural Steel Construction:-
·
Structural characteristics
1) Steel frame can easily
have the layout changed to suit new design than concrete, especially requiring
alteration after completion of the structures.
2) Steel has lower dead
load (unless encased in concrete)
3) Steel has higher
thermal expansion value
4) Steel sections in
various convenient type and size thus economical in design and uses – refer to
standard steel sections.
·
Construction aspects
1) Quicker to erect and
can be prepared offsite – in factory environment with good production and
quality control.
2) Longer and highly
coordinated planning – requires lesser time to make structural design,
fabrication and delivery.
3) High requirement in
the control of dimensional accuracy before and during construction (in
fabrication and in erection).
