Want a Fireproof Building? Choose Pre-engineered Steel Structures

Building fire and safety is a major concern in designing structures and architects place a high premium on the fire safety system. Whether it is residential buildings, shopping malls or megalithic airports using steel in place of concrete and wood can provide a major advantage as far as fire safety goes. For this reason, more and more airport construction companies recommend that steel replace other materials for durability as well as for easy maintenance.

  1. INTRODUCTION • Building fire and safety is a major concern in designing structures • From an architect’s perspective, steel structure buildings provide more leeway for imparting better aesthetic appeal • However what steel structure buildings the darling of architects is its fireproofing properties

  2. Some Famous Steel Structure Buildings • Sydney Harbour Bridge – Sydney, Australia. It is reputedly the largest steel arch bridge beam-columns built by human effort • Forth Bridge – Firth of Forth in Scotland. It is a cantilever railway bridge and among the oldest of iconic steel bridges around the world • Other famous steel bridges include: Ikitsuki Bridge – Nagasaki in Japan; Chaotianmen Bridge, Chongqing in China and Akashi Kaikyō Bridge – Kobe in Japan

  3. Types of Steel Structures • Rigid frames – these structures are welded together based on specific design • Trusses – Trusses are a combination of members in triangular shapes • Beams – Beams are designed to take vertical and gravity loads

  4. Multi Storey Steel Frame Construction – The Fireproof Advantages • Steel does not change shape easily even during a fire-related disaster • Steel is isotropic – has the same properties in all dimensional changes • The right type of steel does not shrink, warp or crack under fire TO KNOW MORE CLICK HERE
