What are the advantages of steel construction in building projects?

The steel structure has the following advantages in construction projects:

1. Uniform material and high strength: the mechanical properties of steel and building mechanics standards are more in line with the demand for structural stability in construction projects, its internal structure is more inclined to isotropy, and the fluctuation range of the nature of the steel is smaller, the internal stress can be maintained in a certain range, and the elasticity is also more stable. The strength of steel is very high, compared with the concrete structure, the vertical component area of the steel structure is smaller, which can greatly improve the actual use area of the building.

2. Good plasticity and toughness: steel is more stable under external pressure, and will not fracture due to overloading, but will only bend to different degrees, which is incomparable to concrete structures. Therefore, the steel structure has stronger plasticity and toughness, which can greatly improve the loading force and adaptability of the construction project, so that the seismic force is greatly improved.

3. Fast construction speed: The manufacturing and processing technology of steel structure buildings is advanced, and prefabrication and on-site assembling can be carried out, so the construction speed is fast, which can save a lot of construction time and cost. In addition, the construction process of steel structure building can reduce construction waste and noise pollution, with little impact on the surrounding environment.

4. Energy-saving and environmental protection: steel is highly recyclable and has little impact on the environment, and the manufacturing and dismantling of building steel structures also have less impact on the environment, which is in line with the requirements of environmental protection. In addition, steel structure buildings have excellent heat preservation and insulation properties, which can reduce energy consumption and realize energy saving and emission reduction.

5. High space utilization rate: due to the high strength, small volume, and light weight of steel structure material, it can realize space design with large span and large column spacing, improve the space utilization rate of the building, and increase the building area.

To sum up, steel structure has the advantages of uniform material and high strength, good plasticity and toughness, fast construction speed, energy saving, and environmental protection as well as a high space utilization rate in construction projects, which make steel structures widely used in construction projects.
