Introduction to Steel
Steel is basically an alloy of iron and carbon with a small percentage of other
metals such as nickel, chromium, aluminium, cobalt, etc.
Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a
variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated
beam having a profile of a specific cross section.
Steel frame
Steel frame is a building technique with a "skeleton frame" of vertical steel
columns and horizontal I-beams, constructed in a rectangular grid to support
the floors, roof and walls of a building which are all attached to the frame.
The development of this technique made the construction of the skyscraper
possible.
HOT ROLLED STRUCTURAL STEEL SECTIONS
STEEL COLUMNS

• foundation to column joints,


base plates are welded to the
end of columns. The most
desired shape of base plate is
square and rectangular shape,
because such plates provide
largest spacing between the Steel Column to Foundation Details, (A)
bolts which is desirable. Top bolt places created in base plate, (B)
Side view of column base to foundation

• Pile foundation to transfer


loads of steel frame structure
though low soil bearing
capacity of stiff soil with
adequate bearing capacity
• column splices is provided in
every two or three storey to ease
erection process in addition to
simplify steel column production
and deliveries.

• The distance between floor and


column splice is about 60cm. When
circular steel columns are used, weld
connection is used to join both steel
columns above and below.

Column Splices
STEEL BEAMS
• end plate beam to beam connection is
used to join secondary steel beams to
primary steel beams.

• Since top flange of secondary beams


support floor system, so it must be leveled
with top flange of the primary beams. This
can be obtained by notching the top flange
of the secondary beam

Notched Part of Secondary Beam


• projected bracket is welded to the
primary beam and then secondary
beam is attached without the
need for notching secondary steel
beams
CONNECTIONS BETWEEN COLUMNS AND
BEAMS
• Different types of column
to beam connection suitable
for the case where vertical
loads are applied solely: (A)
Flexible end plate, (B) fin
plate, (C) Double angle cleat
METAL HARDWARES
Advantage
s
• Steel is tensile and has a high strength to weight ratio which means
it has high strength per unit mass. So no matter how large the
overall structure is, the steel sections will be small and lightweight,
unlike other building materials.
• Steel can be easily fabricated and produced massively. Steel sections
can be produced off-site at shop floors and then assembled onsite.
This saves time and increases the efficiency of the overall
construction process.
• Structural steel is very flexible. You can mould it into any shape,
without changing its properties. You can convert it into sheets or
turn it into wires as per the design.
• Structural steel is relatively cheap compared to other building
materials.
• It is very durable. Structural steel structures can withstand external
pressures such as earthquakes, thunderstorms, and cyclones. A well-
built steel structure can last up to 30 years if maintained well.
Disadvantages
• Steel is an alloy of iron. This makes it susceptible to corrosion. This
problem can be solved to some extent using anti-corrosion
applications.
• It has high maintenance costs as it has to be painted to make it
corrosion-resistant.
• There are extensive fireproofing costs involved as steel is
not fireproof. In high temperatures, steel loses its properties.
• Buckling is an issue with steel structures. As the length of the steel
column increases the chances of buckling also increases.
• Steel has a high expansion rate with changing temperatures. This can
be detrimental to the overall structure.
CONCLUSION
Today, practically all industries have major applications of
structural steel. From industry equipment to finished
products, structural steel is used everywhere. Buildings,
bridges, high-rise buildings and warehouses are made
using structural steel sections. Industry experts prefer the
use of structural steel over any other building material for
construction. This is mainly because of the innumerable
benefits structural steel provides. But as everything else in
the world, there are certain downsides of using structural
steel in building structures.
