Xinguangzheng Steel Structure factory buildings primarily refer to those where the main load-bearing components are made of steel. These include steel columns, steel beams, steel structure foundations, steel roof trusses (especially important as factory spans are generally large, and steel trusses are now the standard), and steel roof systems. Note that the walls are now often built using new thermal insulation materials.
Industrial and civil buildings constructed with steel are known as steel structures. Due to the increase in China's steel output, many projects now adopt steel structure factory buildings, which can be further categorized into light and heavy steel structures. Compared to structures made from other materials, steel structures (including Nanjing steel structure quotes) are cost-effective and offer the following characteristics:
High Strength of Steel, Light Weight of Structure: Although the density of steel is higher than other building materials, its strength is very high. Under the same load conditions, steel structures are lightweight and can be designed for large spans.
Good Plasticity and Toughness of Steel: The plasticity of steel means the structure generally won't fracture suddenly due to accidental or localized overloading. The toughness of steel allows the structure to better withstand dynamic loads.
Uniform Material Properties, High Reliability: Steel has a uniform internal structure and is isotropic. The actual performance of a steel structure closely matches theoretical calculations, resulting in high structural reliability.
Weldability of Steel: The weldability of steel greatly simplifies connections in steel structures, enabling the fabrication of complex shapes.
High Industrialization in Manufacturing and Installation: Xinguangzheng Steel Structures are mainly manufactured in specialized metal fabrication plants, making production straightforward and precise. Components are transported to the site for assembly, which is highly efficient, leading to fast installation and short construction schedules.
Good Sealing Properties: The dense internal structure of steel allows for tight, leak-proof connections, whether using welding, riveting, or bolting.
Heat Resistance: When the surface temperature of steel remains below 150°C, its strength changes very little, making steel structures suitable for hot workshops (e.g., foundries, steel mills).
