Important Role of Light Steel

Light steel is shown in production plants, workshops, offices and other constructions as it environmentally and friendly shows guiding role for the future construction, reflecting the high efficiency, economy, industrial production characteristics.

Light steel structure like other structures and civil constructions is composed by a space frame structure and with the same elements establishing face, roofing. Therefore, in the design of architectural can refer to the principle of aesthetic creation, to grasp the relationship between the various parts of a good contrast between inside and outside of the building, looking for a basic visual balance.

Light steel structure’s outside walls is not only the type of color metal pressure plate; the building materials of multiple textures also can add character to its facade. Exterior walls with windows, parapet, roof, canopy, etc. are key parts of the facade, as long as doing their detail treatment; it would be the simplest building size.

Light steel structure also has a variety of appearance form, whether its space or the roof shape can be done well to get an aesthetic effect like other buildings. Designers can flexibly designs it according to the movement of these modeling techniques, creating a lively atmosphere, calm, technical and aesthetic construction.

Introduction and Development on Steel Structure

In recent decades, the former Soviet Union, the USA and Japan had always been the top three on steel output around the world. In recent years, with the implementation of China's reform and opening-up policy, our country had made rapid progress. During this period, China's steel production became the first in the world.

Light steel structure buildings have been widely used in factories, warehouses, stadiums, exhibition halls, supermarkets and other buildings in some developed countries. Light steel makes color plate as roof and wall, make thin-walled steel as purling and ring beam, and make weld "H"-shaped cross section as shot and beam, with bolted or welded splice of the door frame as the main structure, together with parts, fasteners, doors and windows.

Giant steel structure is a new system as high-rise building, which is designed to meet special features or comprehensive functions. It has good flexibility and potential efficiency, such as Japan’s NEC complex which is a giant space truss system with a strong anti-push rigidity. Another example is a new building built commercial banks in Frankfurt, Germany in 1997 which is the highest building in Europe. HSBC also belongs to a giant steel structure building.

Large span steel structure engineering is most used for versatile venues, convention, exhibition center Expo, terminal, hangars and so on. The earliest largest flat truss span is in California Coliseum, Los Angeles. The international community as well as China is using a popular wavy surface, the intersection of the tree as well as direct support JOINTS stereo truss system, looking majestic and beautiful. China Shenzhen Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport are all typical examples.

More Informations on Steel Structure

Steel structure is a style which is to use steel plate, hot rolled steel sheet and cold-formed sections to connect which can carry and transfer the load. Steel structure has the advantages of ligth weight, industrial manufacturing, quick installation, short-time construction, good seismic performance, quick return on investment, less environmental pollution. Compared with the reinforced concrete structure, it has more special advantages in the "high, large, light". Around the world, especially in developed countries and regions, steel structure can be used reasonably and widely in construction areas. Steel industry is usually divided into five subclasses including light steel structure, steel structure, residential steel structures, steel structures and steel bridges.

Steel structure is with smaller components, lighter weight, easy to be transported and installed, easy to be assemed and disassemed. It is suitable to be used for large span, high altitude, carrying heavy structures.

1. Steel is with uniform materials, stable quality, high reliability; Compared with masonry and concrete, steel has higher intensity, so the smaller the ratio of the density and strength, the lighter the structure is when it withstands the same load. For example, when the span and load is same, steel roof weighs only 1/3-1/4 of reinforced concrete roof, cold-formed steel roof trusses is even close to 1/10 which can provide a convenient transportation and lifting. Because steel component is often relatively soft, so stability is quite conspicuous, and it should be given more attention.

2. Light steel structure is with high strength, ductility and toughness, shock resistance and vibration is good; Compared with masonry and concrete, steel belongs to a single material, due to the production process and strict quality control, the organization structure is more uniform. Generally, in normal use, it has better ductility, and can be turned into plastic rational.

3. Steel is with high degree of industrialization, factories manufacturing, great installation, high precision, short manufacturing cycle, high production efficiency and high construction speed.

4. Steel structure is with anti-seismic property.

5. Poor corrosion resistance and fire resistance.

Light Steel Structure

The construction made of steel structure is one of the main building structures. Steel is characterized of high strength, light weight, good rigidity, deformation ability, so it is so suitable for the construction of large span and ultra-high, super-heavy buildings. The great ductility and toughness have large deformation, can well withstand dynamic loads, meanwhile, construction period is short. Their high industrialization can get high mechanization of specialized production.



Light steel structure can ensure effective insulation well and in the building's exterior wall and roof insulation material can be used in long-term. Matt light steel structure residential building generally filled between wall studs in the wall fiberglass mesh, the paste layer in the outer wall insulation, effectively cut through the wall studs to the wall panels of thermal bridge; between floors joists filled with glass fiber, reduce the heat transfer through the floor; All interior walls are filled with glass fiber between wall studs, reducing heat transfer between household wall.

Fire technology is a critical issues of the light steel structure, light steel structure residential fire resistance is rated of four. Matt Light steel structure residential building's both sides of the wall and the floor post the of fireproof plasterboard which can achieve one hour fire protection.



Light steel floor fill glass wool between the inner wall and outer wall, which effectively prevents spread through the air the audio portion, and for the impact sound transmission through solids, construct processing as follows: For a household wall using two wall studs constitute with intermediate gap two walls; while for fixing plasterboard ceiling with a small keel, with a small slit with elastic structure to effectively reduce sound transmission between floors solid.
