Excellent Seismic Performance: Steel structures offer superior seismic resistance due to their lightweight nature. For the same load-bearing capacity, steel sections are smaller, which means that a six-story light steel building weighs about the same as a four-story brick structure. This reduced weight results in lower seismic forces acting on the building, enhancing its overall safety and structural integrity.
Moisture Resistance and Environmental Friendliness: The foundation and base treatment for steel structures are relatively simple, often utilizing independent foundations with moisture barriers that significantly improve damp-proofing. Additionally, homes constructed with innovative wall materials can achieve up to 50% energy efficiency. The lightweight nature of steel allows for dry construction methods that produce minimal noise and pollution, and all materials used are recyclable, making steel structures an environmentally friendly choice.
Flexible Space Design: The high strength of steel allows for large open spaces within buildings, providing architects with greater design flexibility. This adaptability enables users to modify the interior layout according to their needs, utilizing non-load-bearing walls to create open-plan living spaces. The potential for large cantilevers and expansive designs results in unique architectural effects, allowing homeowners to personalize their living environments.
Robust Framework with Reinforced Concrete Floors: Steel frameworks are connected using high-strength bolts, which enhance the structure’s resilience without compromising overall strength. In the event of an earthquake, these connections can absorb vibrational energy, further improving seismic performance. Additionally, bolted connections are safer than welded ones, as they do not accelerate corrosion. While the load-bearing system consists of steel beams and columns, the floors and roofs can be constructed with reinforced concrete, which increases strength and load capacity while also improving waterproofing.
Faster Construction: Although the initial investment for steel structures may be higher, the speed of construction is significantly faster compared to traditional methods. This efficiency can lead to quicker project completion and earlier occupancy.
