The reasons for the popularity of steel construction

With the fast growing of manufacturing industry, large steel structure is very much in demand. The unique advantages are high strength, capable of large span, environmental, seismic resistance etc. Its common applications are factory, warehouses, office etc.

Most people think that the service life of steel structures is shorter than that of traditional building materials (such as concrete buildings). According to the relevant information of the American Iron and Steel Association, the service life of steel structure buildings can reach several hundred or even thousands of years.

PTH Steel structure can be applied together with traditional concrete structure, light gauges steel system and other systems. In order to suit the architecture and functional requirements, such as  office, hospital, stadium, apartment and retail etc.

The specific advantages of the steel structure building:

1.  The steel structure building has good structural performance, light weight, high strength and good seismic performance;

2. All steel in the steel building can be recycled and reused, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly than the concrete structure;

3. Processing in the factory, the quality of the steel structure building is more guaranteed;

4. The steel structure building has its own light weight and the basic construction cost is relatively low;

   
   

5. When the construction is carried out on site, the overall construction period is shorter than that of the concrete building;

6. There is basically no wet operation in the construction site, and there is no environmental pollution such as dust and sewage.

7. The steel structure building has a small cross section, the support column is relatively thin, and the wall surface is also thin, but the overall usable area of the building is large.
