Advantages of steel construction

 Steel structure building is a type of building whose main load-bearing structure uses section steel, which has many advantages. Here are some of the characteristics of this type of building:

The construction period is short. The construction period of steel structures is about 1/2 to 1/3 of that of conventional buildings, which means that construction works can be completed faster.

Low employment. Compared with conventional buildings, the labor demand of steel structure houses is low, generally less than 2 workdays/square meter. This makes steel structure construction particularly suitable for barracks construction in areas with poor construction conditions and few skilled workers, such as fields, plateaus and islands.

Less transportation, less mechanical use. The material consumption of steel structure buildings is usually only 1/2 to 1/10 of that of conventional buildings, which greatly reduces the cost of transportation and mechanical use.

The construction is little affected by the season. Because many operations are dry assembly operations, they are less affected by climate.

Good seismic and wind, rain and snow resistance, strong stability. Steel structures are better able to withstand natural disasters, such as earthquakes, storms and snowstorms.

Easy to rebuild, expand and relocate. Steel structure buildings can be used for special buildings with large spans and large rooms, which is convenient for reconstruction, expansion and relocation.

It can be produced in the factory and assembled quickly on site. Steel building materials can be mass-produced in factories and then quickly assembled on site.

Steel structure building materials do not absorb water, not afraid of freezing. This makes the steel structure building especially suitable for the construction of houses in cold areas.

The interior and exterior decoration of the steel structure building can be completed at one time. This saves time and effort for the owner.

Long service life. Steel structure buildings can reach a base period of 50 years and have a long service life.

Beautiful and modern appearance. The steel structure building has a modern appearance, which can meet people's needs for beauty.

The project cost is moderate. Although the general steel structure house and similar reinforced concrete structure house project cost difference is not much, but considering the short period, less traffic, building area increase and other factors, the choice of steel structure building is appropriate.

In short, the steel structure building has many advantages, including short construction period, less labor, less transportation, the construction is affected by the season, good seismic performance, easy reconstruction and migration, can be factory production, not afraid of freezing, internal and external decoration can be completed at one time, long service life, beautiful appearance and moderate project cost. These advantages make steel construction a popular building type.
