Today, practically all industries have major applications of structural steel. From industry equipment to finished products, structural steel is used everywhere. Buildings, bridges, high-rise buildings and warehouses are made using structural steel sections. Industry experts prefer the use of structural steel over any other building material for construction. This is mainly because of the innumerable benefits structural steel provides. Here we are going to focus on the advantages steel structures.
1.Steel is tensile. It has a high strength to weight ratio which means it has high strength per unit mass. So no matter how large the overall structure is, the steel sections will be small and lightweight, unlike other building materials.
2.Fire Safety
Steel is noncombustible, so it does not contribute to the ignition of fires, the spread of fires, or the size and severity of fires, thus reducing risks to occupants, firefighters and property/business owners.
3.Structural steel is relatively cheap compared to other building materials.
4.It is very durable. Structural steel structures can withstand external pressures such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, and cyclones. A well-built steel structure can last up to 60 years if maintained well.
5.One of the advantages of using a steel structure in development is the ability of steel to span greater distances with steel ceiling joists. This enables architects to grow their choices, enabling them to make new/huge space utilizing steel items that simply weren't accessible with different materials.
6.Flexibility is one of the great advantages of steel structure, which means that it tends to be planned according to the design requirements. This plans a steel structure so that it can withstand heavy winds or earthquakes。
7. Some of the common advantages of using steel buildings are Design, Strength and Durability, Light in Weight, Easy Installation and Speed in Construction, Versatile, Flexibility, Ductility, Easy Fabrication in Different Sizes, Fire Resistance, Pest and Insect Resistant, Moisture and Weather Resistance, Adaptability, Cost-effective, Environment Friendly, Energy Efficiency, Improved Construction Quality, Temporary Structures, Safe and Resistant and Risk Index.
8. Easy and fast installation .Because of simple-to-make portions of a steel structure, it is hassle-free to install and assemble them on-site, and furthermore, there is no need of estimating and cutting of parts nearby.
