Structural steel is a beneficial material for a wide range of applications. The material weighs far less when compared to many other metals, and it is more economical than many of them as well. Utilizing it can lend products a great deal of strength. For this reason, it is a very popular material for large-scale construction projects.Steel is also quite malleable, allowing it to be customized to fit your specifications if you hire a fabricator/welder with the skill and experience necessary to make these transformations possible. Structural steel is an alloy, and as such, it can be adapted to give it different properties. This makes it useful for a tremendous array of projects.
Steel structure is a structure mainly made of steel and is one of the main types of building structures. The characteristics of steel are high strength, light weight and high rigidity, so it is especially suitable for the construction of large-span and super-high and super-heavy buildings; material homogeneity and isotropy are good, it is an ideal elastic body, and it is most suitable for general engineering. The basic assumptions of mechanics; the material has good plasticity and toughness, can have large deformation, and can withstand dynamic loads well; the construction period is short; its degree of industrialization is high, and it can carry out specialized production with a high degree of mechanization; high processing precision and high efficiency , Good airtightness, so it can be used to build gas tanks, oil tanks and transformers.

Compared with other construction, steel structure has advantages in use, design, construction and comprehensive economy, low cost and can be moved at any time.
1. Compared with traditional buildings, steel structure houses can better meet the requirements of flexible separation of large bays in buildings, and can improve the area utilization rate by reducing the cross-sectional area of columns and using lightweight wall panels, and the effective indoor area is increased by about 6 %.
Second, the energy-saving effect is good, the wall is made of light energy-saving standardized C-shaped steel, square steel, sandwich panel, with good thermal insulation performance and good shock resistance. 50% energy saving,
3. The use of steel structure system in residential buildings can give full play to the good ductility, strong plastic deformation ability of steel structure, excellent seismic and wind resistance performance, which greatly improves the safety and reliability of residential buildings. Especially in the event of earthquakes and typhoons, the steel structure can avoid the collapse of buildings.
4. The total weight of the building is light, and the steel structure residential system is light in weight, which is about half of the concrete structure, which can greatly reduce the basic cost.
5. The construction speed is fast, and the construction period is at least one third shorter than that of the traditional residential system. It only takes 20 days and five workers to complete a 1,000-square-meter building.
6. Good environmental protection effect. The amount of sand, stone and ash used in the construction of steel structure houses is greatly reduced. The materials used are mainly green, 100% recycled or degraded materials. When the building is demolished, most of the materials can be reused or degraded without causing waste. .
7. To be flexible and rich. Large bay design, indoor space can be divided into multiple schemes, which can meet the different needs of users.
8. Meet the requirements of housing industrialization and sustainable development. The steel structure is suitable for mass production in factories, with a high degree of industrialization, and can integrate advanced products such as energy saving, waterproofing, heat insulation, doors and windows into one, complete application, integrate design, production and construction, and improve the level of the construction industry.
Structural steel has a long list of benefits associated with it as a sustainable and highly reliable material for construction. However, the fabrication and welding processes necessary to transform structural steel into products used for construction and other industrial applications are complex and demanding. If you do not find a company who can pull them off properly the material’s viability may be compromised. The processes used in structural steel welding take a special expertise that only some companies have. FAMOUS has that expertise.
