Foshan and other steel structures - compared to brick structure, concrete structure, the use of function, design, construction, and comprehensive economic and have an advantage in the application advantages of Foshan residential buildings steel is mainly reflected in the following aspects :
First, the arrangement can reasonably functional groups:
The use of high strength steel features large bay design can be so arranged that the building plan can reasonably separated, flexible, creating an open house. The traditional structures (brick and concrete structure, concrete structure) due to the material properties of the spatial arrangement limits the freedom, often in the past, bay generally 3.2 m, 3.4 m, 3.6 m, if too large, it will cause the plate thickness, high beams, pillars, a "fat fat beam column" phenomenon, not only affects the appearance, but also increases the weight and increase the cost , buyers in the secondary decoration, often due to the change in the wall own position and increase risks.
Second, light weight, good seismic performance:
Building floor area of the same building, steel, light weight, based on the comparison, six light steel structure residential weight equivalent to the weight of only four residential masonry structure. Steel and ductile, can better consumption caused by the earthquake energy, so the seismic performance, structural safety is high.
Third, the construction is convenient, short construction period:
Steel member, can be implemented factory production, on-site installation. Due to the small amount of field operations, less pollution to the surrounding environment, at the same time, a high degree of mechanization of construction, speed up the construction speed. According to statistics, the same area of the building, steel concrete structure than period, one-third can be shortened, but can save formwork materials.
Fourth, the total cost is low:
Due to light weight, reduce the cost base, reduce the overall use of materials, reduce direct costs, short construction period, indirect costs can be reduced, so a low overall cost.
Fifth, in line with the housing industry and the requirements of sustainable development:
Steel plant suitable for mass production, high degree of industrialization, and is capable of saving, waterproofing, insulation, windows and doors and other advanced set of finished products in one, complete the application, design, production, construction integration, improve the housing industry level.
In summary, the steel is suitable for innovative residential architecture. Steel can be as people of different aesthetic, using different functional requirements, design a variety of shapes, a new type of room scale space. Manufacturer with high precision, high-quality, high-speed is completed, so that the building achieve both beautiful and economical results.
