What are the advantages of building a workshop with steel metal structure?
At present, many factories and warehouses used for production are becoming larger and larger. With the continuous development of modern science and technology, in order to meet the simultaneous operation of operators and machines, the area requirements of enterprises for production plant space have gradually increased. However, the area of the traditional building columns is relatively large, which makes the construction space of the workshops have certain limitations. It’s not easy to squeeze out extra space, so what to do?
Don’t worry! Engineers came up with a way to build it out of steel. The building space column area of the steel structure is small, which can expand the utilization rate of the workshop space. Coupled with the increase in steel production, slowly, steel structure workshops have become the favored choice of many enterprises. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of steel metal structure workshops? Construction steel structure manufacturers take you to find out.
The steel structure workshop building actually refers to the workshop whose main load-bearing components are made of steel. So, what are the advantages of this steel workshop structure compared with ordinary factory building?
The first advantage is the space advantage.
First of all, some companies with high requirements for plant space choose it because it can expand the utilization rate of the plant. How does it do it? This is because the compressive and lateral bending strength of steel is 1.5 times that of concrete, so it can reduce the section under the condition of the same strength, thus increasing the effective space of the workshop.
The second advantage is the short construction time of the steel structure workshop.
Because the steel material used for construction can be produced directly at the factory and then transferred to the construction site for installation. This can greatly shorten the construction time and save the construction period. For ordinary factory building, just concrete will take up a lot of time.
The third advantage is that construction materials can be recycled.
This feature of steel metal structures can help reduce the generation of construction waste. In addition, because the steel structure is a flexible mechanism and has a light weight, it can effectively reduce the impact of earthquake disasters.
However, this kind of steel structure workshop is not without its shortcomings.
The heat resistance of steel structures is not strong, so special attention should be paid to the fire protection of such workshops. In addition, because the steel material is easily corroded, the iron atoms on the surface of the material can easily form rust with the oxygen in the air, which will shorten the service life of the factory building. Seriously, it will also endanger the safety of the plant, so the anti-corrosion measures of the steel metal structure workshop are also very important.
