The Importance Of Structural Steel In Building Architecture

Structural steel is becoming one of the prominent and preferred building materials in the construction industry today. It can bring forth various advantages that building owners can significantly benefit from.

Structural steel is widely known for its strength properties and durability. But if you’re wondering how else you can benefit from using this construction material as compared to other building materials, then this article can be for you.

To help you better understand its benefits, here’s a list of the importance of structural steel in building architecture.

  1. Steel Has High-Performance Characteristics

As mentioned, one of the notable advantages of steel is its high-performance characteristics, such as structural strength and durability. More so, it’s known for its compression and tensile strength. This means that you can be assured that your building can still perform well, even in the event of extreme weather conditions.

SSENSE GLOBAL

Aside from its inherent strength, when you use steel in your building, you wouldn’t have to worry about pest infestations compared to other materials and methodologies like timber construction. This is because steel is resistant to attacks by insects, mold, and pests. Its composition doesn’t contain any food for mold or insects. Therefore, you don’t need to invest in anti-termite chemicals.

The high-performance characteristics of steel can increase its occupants’ safety since it won’t suddenly break or rupture due to its quality being compromised by the factors mentioned above.

  1. Steel Offers A More Cost-Efficient Construction Process

The initial cost of acquiring steel is considered low. This is because it’s easy for manufacturers to source their raw materials. Therefore, the manufacturer won’t need to add to its cost to cater for all the hustle they underwent to get to the final product. This can help reduce the estimated project cost, which the client can benefit from.

Additionally, you won’t need to acquire extra resources when putting up a metal building. The steel used in the construction is often engineered, in terms of its length and angle, making it modular and easy to install and set up. While the same can’t be said about other construction materials, such as wood, requiring various components to put up a building. This can help you save money.

  1. Steel Can Promote Faster Project Execution

Aside from helping you manage and trim down your project cost, using steel can also speed up the construction process.

As mentioned earlier,raw steel materials are readily available. Therefore, you don’t need to import any product, a process that may take a lot of time due to customs and transportation. In the long run, you’ll finish the project within the stipulated time frame or even earlier.

Also, most steel components are pre-fabricated off-site. This means that there’ll be less manipulation on site. Workers will only need to assemble the different parts according to the approved plan and design. This can help reduce the construction time.

  1. Steel Offers Flexibility In Design

Steel is one of the construction materials that allow for flexible design. For instance, you can mold and configure steel into any desired form including sheet, bar, plate, and pipe stock. This offers a significant advantage to architects since they aren’t limited to a specific building design. And considering its structural strength and durability, a home project or building’s floor plan can be laid out such that it won’t require as many columns as timber or concrete construction would. This can allow for a more spacious interior without the obstruction of columns.

More so, steel has made construction feats that seemed impossible possible. This material has grown and broadened the innovations of the construction industry. There are fewer limitations in structural design, allowing the professionals to come up with unique building forms.

  1. Steel Is Considered An Environmentally Friendly Material

When it comes to steel, there’s minimal wastage. This is because steel is highly recyclable. You can take any waste in the form of offcuts back to the manufacturer, who’ll smelt them and transform them into new products or repurpose them.

Also, it’s quite easy to relocate steel buildings from one location to another. Unlike other materials where demolition leads to the destruction of its materials, steel can’t be destroyed beyond use. Yes, there might be cutting necessitated, but steel fixers can fabricate it to ensure it doesn’t go to waste. Therefore, you won’t need to acquire more materials after relocation. It’s good to note that you might also not need to demolish a structural steel building. Depending on its foundation, you can easily carry it as a whole from point A to B without disassembling it.

Final Thoughts

Steel is a versatile material that you can adopt for your construction project. This article has outlined some of its benefits and importance as construction material.

With the help of the list above, you can be more informed of how turning to steel for your future construction needs can be to your advantage.
