Why is steel structures recommended for multi-story buildings?

Steel structures are recommended for multi story buildings, with the core advantages of high strength, light weight, good seismic resistance, and fast construction period. They are particularly suitable for projects that require spatial flexibility and construction speed. ‌‌

Core Advantages of steel structures:

  1. High strength and light weight: Steel structures is nearly half lighter than concrete, exerting less pressure on the foundation and making it less prone to settlement and deformation; Under the same area, thinner walls can increase the occupancy rate by 10% to 15%.
  2. Outstanding seismic performance: Steel structures has good plasticity and toughness, can withstand large deformations and impacts, and has seismic resistance far exceeding that of brick and concrete structures. Steel structures frames can withstand earthquakes of magnitude 8, especially in earthquake prone areas.
  3. Short construction period: Steel Structure components are prefabricated in the factory and assembled on site, like building blocks, which shortens the construction period by 30% -50% compared to traditional concrete and is less affected by weather.
  4. Flexible spatial layout: The walls do not bear weight, and the layout can be freely adjusted, making it convenient to achieve large-span spaces; If you want to change the pattern in the later stage, retaining the main framework can be achieved.
  5. Green and recyclable: The steel structures recycling rate throughout the entire lifecycle exceeds 90%, and it can be further refined after demolition, resulting in less construction waste.
