Steel is a very strong metal. It is used to build buildings that won't fall down for many centuries. That is when we use steel to construct the frame or skeleton of a building known as a steel frame structure. These kinds of buildings are pretty common out there and have been made for years. In this article, we discuss what makes steel frame structures a good option, as well as their application throughout various buildings.
Fast Construction: You can construct steel frame structures quicker than traditional construction methods. This is because the steel components are generally manufactured inside a factory before reaching the construction site. When they arrive, workers can assemble them quickly and easily. That allows buildings to be completed faster, and that is in the interest of everyone involved.
Steel frame constructions are mostly used for large buildings such as high-rise buildings, large shops, and sports arenas. These structures require very strong framing to support the weights of lots of people, equipment, and other heavy objects. Given all those design elements, a steel frame is ideal for these types of buildings since it can support all of that weight without hesitation.
A tall skyscraper, for instance, is held straight up by the steel frame of the building that keeps the structure together despite the strong winds that go against it. Without a rigid steel skeleton, these buildings could sway dangerously. That’s why builders prefer steel for those tier-one projects.
Modular construction is a system of building that creates parts of the building in one location then transports that structured part to another location where everything is assembled and finalized. Modular construction often uses steel frame structures because they can be more easily transported.
When the segments arrive at the construction site, they can be fitted together in a matter of days. It is also quicker and can allow for improved quality assurance as the parts can be manufactured in a factory where controllable conditions can be implemented. Steel framed buildings are also incredibly robust, making them an ideal solution for modular buildings where strength is a necessity.
For all that it must endure, engineers methodically strategize how to assemble the steel skeleton. The structural strength and durability of these steel frame structures are continually monitored to ensure they remain strong and safe for years. That way, buildings will not have any issues for years to come.
