Objectives behind this project:
Make students to be familiar with constructing the buildings with
steel structure.
Providing most important information about steel structure in the
limited time.
Providing students through a small project a wide range of data
regarding how to make such a projects totally by steel structure and
the way of connecting between the parts of project and the
structure it self.
What is Steel Frame Structure?
Steel frame is typically consisting of
vertical column and horizontal beams
which are riveted, bolted or welded
together in a rectilinear grid. Steel
beams are horizontal structural
members that resist loads applied
laterally to their axis. Columns are
vertical structural members that
transfer compressive loads. It can be
used to form the skeleton of a
building.
Structural steel framing is typically
designed, fabricated and erected in
accordance with applicable
standards for instance American
Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
and Canadian Standard Association
(CSA).

Types of Steel Frame Construction
There are various types of steel frame construction which include:

2. Bolted Steel Construction
In this technique, all structural steel
members are fabricated and painted
off-site, then delivered to the
construction site, and finally bolted in
place.
The size of the steel structural members is
controlled by the size of the truck or
trailer used to deliver steel elements.
Bolted steel construction is substantially
fast because lifting the steel members
into place and bolting are all the works
that need to be executed on
construction site.
It is considered to be the most preferred
construction approach because the
most of the fabrication can be done in
workshops, with the right machinery,
lighting, and work conditions.

3. Light Gauge Steel
Construction
Light gauge steel is a thin sheet
(commonly range between 1-3mm) of
steel which has been bent into shape
to form C-sections or Z-sections.
It is broadly common and used for
the construction of residential and
small buildings. Benefits that light
gauge steel construction provide
include design flexibility, high
construction speed, strong,
lightweight, easy to remodel,
Recyclable, good Quality (durable
and low in maintenance).

Applications of Steel Frame Structure
Steel frame structure is considerably suitable option for the construction of
various buildings and skyscrapers due to its strength, low weigh, speed of
construction, large spans construction capability. steel frame structure can
be used in the construction of the following structures:
High rise buildings
Industrial buildings
Warehouse buildings
Residential buildings
Temporary Structures

Then….
Buildings - from houses to car-parks
to schools and skyscrapers - rely on
steel for their strength. Steel is also
used on roofs and as cladding for
exterior walls.
Steel offers architects more design
freedom in colour, texture and
shape. Its combination of
strength, durability, beauty,
precision and malleability gives
architects broader parameters to
explore ideas and develop fresh
solutions.
Steel structure generally use in construction of the
single-story building such factory, warehouse
(storehouse), shedding areas, etc….
