What are steel structures?
Steel Structure are those structures which are made of steel segments associated with each other to maintain and share connected burdens with sufficient well being and serviceability. When contrasted with different structures like solid structure and timber structure in where other building materials are rare and structure should work for the more prominent size of burdens, Steel Structure are the better option. The structural individuals might be in pivotal stacking, torsion or bowing or in their consolidated impact, contingent on their introduction, structural utilize, and kind of stacking. The different sorts of Steel Structure are the truss, tower structure, connect, staircase, and so on.
What are the connection types in a steel structure?
there are 3 common connection methods for steel structure. The following is : weld joints, bolted joints, and riveted joints.
Weld joints: It is a rigid joint (which can withstand bending moments). In addition to the structure directly bearing the dynamic load, the weld joint can be used in the ultra-low temperature state.
Bolted connection: It is hinged (zero bending moment). It can be used under normal conditions. It is characterized by quick on-site operation, easy removal and convenient maintenance.
Riveting: Use when the structure is stressed less.
Is steel structural buildings are more effective than concrete structural buildings?
They are both good, but it depends more on the project at hand, building codes and the clients requirements what you should use.
Steel structures are lighter, but they are more expensive, also steel conections must be designed and built with more care than their reinforced concrete counter parts, however, it's easier to crunch the numbers.
Concrete structures are heavier, but cheaper, but that can also depend if it’s cast on site or precast.
However, big structures have nowadays combinations like steel beams and columns with concrete slabs or concrete columns with steel beams and steel decks.
