BSS STEEL STRUCTURES - THE CORE OF EVERY CONSTRUCTION

n     STEEL STRUCTURES INTRODUCTION

Steel structure is a metal structure which is made of structural steel components connect with each other to carry loads and provide full rigidity.

Steel structure is one of the most important structure in modern construction, especially for heavy industrial buildings. Because of the high strength grade of steel, this structure is reliable and requires less raw materials than others

n     ADVANTAGES OF STEEL STRUCTURES

- High durability & great load carrying capacity: Steel is the most sustainable material used in construction compared with other building materials, as many steel features are similar with the construction load carrying capacity. Therefore, the structures made of steel are highly durable, they do not get shrink or swell during the construction process

- Light weight structure, easy to transport & erect: With simple design, structural steel components are lighter and stronger than other weight-bearing materials like wood, stone or concrete. Thus, it is easy to transport & erect, reduce the construction time and contributes to the early use of the project.

- Flexibility of expansion & low maintenance: Steel structure is easily recycled and reused for other building purposes with many applications. Therefore, it is specially used by architecture engineers in almost every projects, which need large space & area.

- Tightness, water resistant: Steel structure connections are considered to be very tight with water resistant feature; making it an ideal choice for building liquid storage tanks, gas tanks; which is diffcult to conduct with other materials.
