Steel Structure Works
Steel Structure Work members are erected, braced, and secured together to create the structural framework. This framework is covered with the materials for floors, walls, and roofing. The most common structural steel construction method is beam and column construction.
Construction phases of structural steel frame are discussed. Steel framed structure construction begins with the construction of its foundation. Generally, the types of foundation required for the given structure is based on the soil bearing capacity.
”The erection of structural steelwork consists of the assembly of steel components into a frame on site. The processes involve lifting and placing components into position, then connecting them together. Generally this is achieved through bolting but sometimes site welding is used. So it is especially suitable for large-span, super-high and super-heavy buildings. The steel structure is a steel beam, steel column, steel truss, and other components made of section steel and steel plate, and welds, bolts, or rivets connect each component or part. Steel is environment-friendly and sustainable. It posses great durability.“
Steel Structure Works Advantages
