Advantages of steel structure
Lightweight: compared with other structures such as concrete structure, steel structure is very light
High strength and stiffness per unit weight: steel is very hard and has a high strength to weight ratio.
Ease of manufacture and mass production: steel structures are easy to manufacture, so they are usually used for large-scale construction. Steel members can be easily replaced, assembled and disassembled.
Quick and easy installation and installation: compared with many other structures, steel structures can be installed very easily and quickly. The steel structure can be used after installation
No sudden failure: steel is a ductile material, which will not suddenly fail, but give a clear indication through the deflection before failure.
No formwork required: unlike concrete structures, steel structures do not require any formwork
Termite prevention and corrosion protection: unlike wood, if high-quality steel is used, the steel will not be corroded by termites and will hardly rust.
Transportation and handling economy: due to its light weight, the steel structure is easy to transport and handle.
