Large Span Pre-Engineered Steel Frame Construction
Nowadays, steel is a widely known material that could be used as various application. Maybe you know the steel frame construction, it has become the new trend in the construction industry in this years. Due to its light weight and simple construction, it is widely used in large-scale workshops, venues, warehouse, super high-rise buildings, commercial building and other fields, etc. All components will be connected together by welds, bolts or rivets, etc.
What is Steel Frame Construction?
A steel frame construction is a type of building that all components are processed and manufactured at factory and transported to construction site for installing. This type of construction is often used for warehouses, office buildings, and other large structures.
One of the advantages of steel frame construction is that they can be constructed quickly. The components are made in a factory and then shipped to the site. This reduces the amount of time that is needed to construct the building.
Another advantage of steel frame construction is that they are very strong and durable. The components are made from high-quality materials and are designed to withstand severe weather conditions. This type of construction is often used in areas that are prone to hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters.
What're the Advantages of Steel Frame Construction?
Longevity
Steel frame construction can last longer than wood or concrete construction. Steel frame construction not vulnerable to insect attack and lacks porosity, so mildew cannot grow. It does not warp, rot, or expand when there is an increase in moisture.
Versatility
Steel frame construction can be fabricated into different shapes while still maintaining its strength. The use of steel allows for creative and innovative designs. Steel frame construction also allows for the creation of large-span buildings such as indoor arenas and aircraft hangars, as well as the capability to build very high skyscrapers, bridges and other structures. It also easy to future-proof steel frames because they are more conducive to structural addition or modification, such as renovations or expanding the size of an existing building.
Faster Build-Times
The steel frames are prefabricated offsite to fit a certain specification before being sent to the construction site. After they are sent out, they are immediately ready to be assembled by bolting or welding the pieces together, unlike in-situ concrete, where it is necessary to wait for a section to cure before continuing the construction.
Safety
Steel frame construction can withstand extreme weather such as hurricanes, earthquakes and snowstorms. Steel frame construction also performs better in man-made emergencies such as explosions and impact.
The following is steel frame construction's features:
♦ Steel frame construction is more cost effective than traditional building
♦ Steel frame construction easier and faster to build
♦ Steel frame construction is more flexible and can be adapted to changing needs
♦ Steel frame construction is made of high quality steel that are more durable and long lasting
♦ Steel frame construction is sustainable and eco-friendly buildings.
♦ Steel frame construction require less maintenance than traditional building.
♦ Steel frame construction could be dismantled and relocated if needed.
Common Use of Steel Frame Construction
Steel frame construction has various of application, but there has some of popular common:
Agricultural-Such as steel poultry, cow and pig building. Steel is a cost-effective, low-maintenance material to keep your agricultural equipment and livestock safe. It is an easy and affordable way to provide shelter and security.
Government- Government budgets are often tight with little to no wiggle room. With the demand for public services, increasing building with steel is a great way to keep costs down. Steel has been used to produce structures ranging from fire stations to public works buildings. It helps cut costs and bring facilities into compliance. And steel makes it easy to be green.
Storage Warehouses- Thanks to their clear span capabilities, prefabricated metal buildings allow business owners the ideal structure to house their goods. And thanks to the durability of steel buildings, those goods are protected from elements and pests than if the structure was constructed with traditional building materials.
Recreational Sports Facilities- Thanks to the durability and clear span aspects of metal buildings, they are the perfect choice when constructing a sports complex or recreation center. They will allow for maximum use of the space and can be adapted or expanded in the future to allow for further accommodation.
If you are interested in the steel building, please provide the following steel structure building importance calculation factors for quotation :
(1) Exact size : length * width *height ;
(2) Wind speed (max speed);
(3) Snow load (kg/m2 in max situation);
(4) Earthquake grade (if have) ;
(5) Live load and dead load for roof and flooring(special for multi-floors building);
(6) The requirements for window and door;
(7) Max height and weight for the crane to lift;
(8) What are the materials for the roof and wall?
