Steel Structure Introduction

Steel Structure – The Future of Structure

If you’re looking for the most cost-effective building type, it’s important to consider your potential long-term savings along with your initial investment in any shape of structure, let’s think about steel structure.

What is steel structure?

Steel structure is a metal structure which is made of structural steel* components connect with each other to carry loads and provide full rigidity. Because of the high strength grade of steel, this structure is reliable and requires less raw materials than other types of structure like concrete structure and timber structure.

In modern construction, steel structures is used for almost every type of structure including heavy industrial building, high-rise building, equipment support system, infrastructure, bridge, tower, airport terminal, heavy industrial plant, pipe rack, etc.

*Structural steel is steel construction material which fabricated with a specific shape and chemical composition to suit a project’s applicable specifications.

Depending on each project’s applicable specifications, the steel sections might have various shapes, sizes and gauges made by hot or cold rolling, others are made by welding together flat or bent plates. Common shapes include the I-beam, HSS, Channels, Angles and Plate.

Main structural types

• Frame structures: Beams and columns
• Grids structures: latticed structure or dome
• Prestressed structures
• Truss structures: Bar or truss members
• Arch structure
• Arch bridge
• Beam bridge
• Cable-stayed bridge
• Suspension bridge
• Truss bridge: truss members

5 reasons why steel structure is the best choice?

1. Cost savings
Steel structure is the cost leader for most projects in materials and design. It is inexpensive to manufacture and erection, requires less maintenance than other traditional building methods.

2. Creativity
Steel has a natural beauty that most architects can’t wait to take advantage of. Steel allows for long column-free spans and you can have a lot of natural light if you want it in any shape of structures.

3. Control and Management
Steel structures are fabricated at factory and rapidly erected at construction site by skilled personnel that makes safe construction process. Industry surveys consistently demonstrate that steel structures is the optimal solution in management.

4. Durability
It can withstand extreme forces or harsh weather conditions, such as strong winds, earthquakes, hurricanes and heavy snow. They are also unreceptive to rust and, unlike wood frames, they are not affected by termites, bugs, mildew, mold and fungi.

According to the World Steel Association, the United States is the third largest steel-producing country in the world. Americans use steel across a wide sector of industries, from canned foods to skyscrapers. There are many different categories of steel allocated for different purposes, but one of the most common is structural steel.

Structural steel is used in construction or building projects. In its most basic definition, structural steel is defined as steel shaped for use in construction, but that doesn’t give a very clear picture of what structural steel actually is. As your premier local structural steel company in Indiana, we wanted to help give you a clearer understanding of what sets structural steel apart from other forms of fabricated steel by covering its two main characteristics: composition and shape.

Composition

Structural steel is a carbon steel, meaning it has a carbon content of up to 2.1 percent by weight. After iron, carbon is the most important element in carbon steel. Increasing the amount of carbon in the composition of steel results in materials that have high strength and low ductility. Depending on how the steel will be used will determine the carbon level or content needed.

Low-carbon steel, also known as mild steel, is the most widely used form of carbon steel and what is most commonly used for construction purposes, which is why low-carbon steel is what is most often thought of when referring to structural steel. Low-carbon steel typically contains 0.04 percent to 0.30 percent carbon content, which makes it strong yet more ductile than other forms of steel with higher carbon content. Although both medium and high-carbon steels (steels with a carbon content ranging from 0.31 percent to 1.50 percent) can also be considered structural steel, these are typically used for mechanical engineering purposes.

Shape

An overview of structural steel would not be complete without discussing the different shapes of structural steel. Getting back to its basic definition, structural steel is simply steel designed for different uses in building construction.

A structural steel shape is a profile formed with a specific cross section. Below are a few common structural steel shapes:

• I-beam: An I-shaped cross section capped with flanges on either side
• Z-shape: Half a flange going in opposite directions resembling a “Z”
• Angle: An L-shaped cross section
• Tee: A T-shaped cross section
• Bar: A rectangular, cross-sectioned long piece of steel
• Rod: A round or square long piece of steel

Because of the ductility of structural steel, the variety of shapes, thicknesses and even sizes can be customized to meet specific building needs. At Benchmark Fabricated Steel, your trusted structural steel company in Indiana, we design and manufacture structural steel to meet your project needs.

If you want to know more about the quality and composition of our structural steel or the different designs and shapes we have available, call us today! Whether you are contemplating a small, personal project or a large-scale construction job, our expert team of experienced steel fabricators and designers are ready to provide a quote for your project.
