Why do designers & owners choose structural steel?

A project can be very successful is to select structural steel which brings numerous benefits. All other materials are measured against the standard of structural steel and structural steel is still the material of choice. So, why do they choose structural steel yet?

Today, I am here to answers why it is so important according to my experience. Speed of construction is the main factor while making the project. Other materials may be able to start field work sooner, but the rapid design, fabrication and erection cycle with structural steel will allow the framing system to finish sooner and be available earlier to other trades.

Structural steel has remained the cost leader for construction materials over the past 30 years. And comparative studies indicate that a steel structure engineering including decking and fire protection will typically cost 5% to 7% less than a concrete framing system on a national basis.

Sustainability is structural steel's middle name. Structural steel is the most recycled material on our planet - today's structural steel is made of 88% recycled product, is fully recyclable in the future and can be reused without further processing. Energy used in the production of structural steel has been reduced by 9% in the past 10 years and over 30% in the past three decades.

Building owners and managers are always faced with changing requirements and a composite steel frame can be easily modified to satisfy existing or new tenant changing requirements such as increased floor loads for storage and equipment, new openings for mechanical equipment and vertical shafts for floor-to-floor staircases.

Steel structure buildings optimize building space efficiency through the use of slender columns maximizing useable floor space, longer spans for open, column-free spaces and the integration of HVAC systems into structural spaces allowing reduction of floor-to-floor heights.

Muyang Steel Structure Project

Steel structure is a structure which is made from organized combination of structural steel members designed to carry load and provide adequate rigidity.

Structural member is physically distinguishable part of steel structure engineering with independent structural function, e.g. member, element, cable and their combination.

Muyang Steel Structure around the World

Steel is widely used as a building material. This is because of a number of factors including its mechanical properties, availability in a variety of useful and practical shapes, economy, design simplicity, and ease and speed of construction. Steel can be produced with a variety of properties to suit different requirements. The principle of the steel structure buildings requirements are strength, ductility, weld ability, and corrosion resistance.

Muyang Steel Structure is the world's leading manufacturer of large steel structure, with top steel structure engineering contractor intelligence, and has passes the IS09001 quality system certification for many domestic and foreign customers to provide industrial plants, multi-level residential, public buildings, large-span steel structure, tunnel bridge steel, oil steel, ship building steel and marine power, transportation and other steel structure engineering, fabrication and installation services.

Since year 2012, due to the old plant relocation fulfilled at the same time, the project works progress becomes tight, as well as multi-unit cross construction; Muyang always finds ways in order not to delay the progress of other construction units. Therefore, Muyang has obtained praise from many fraternal companies.

The Advantage of Steel Structure

The advantages of steel structure in safety problem are steel has a known, uniform strength when it compared with the strength of concrete structure that changed based on a mixture of cement and the water. Because manufactured in workshop, steel have uniform quality and accuracy of the size than concrete material. Steel is also very hard, so even though calm has reached a point because the burden of the bridge, steel can still return to the original form, with different concrete that is very fragile, will intensify once he cracked. Steel structure engineering is not problematic, such as concrete, which have a tendency to crack when the appliance because of the effect of harden. In this case, the steel bridge better than the appearance of concrete. In the case of an earthquake steel also show greater resistance to such tremors.

Muyang steel structure is the world's well-known large manufacturer of steel structure buildings with top contracting qualifications and passes the IS09001 quality system certification. Muyang steel structure provides for many global customers with industrial plants, multi-level residential, public buildings, large-span steel structure, bridge tunnel steel, oil steel, shipbuilding steel and marine power, transportation and other special steel design, fabrication and installation services.
