Steel Structures
Steel structure systems are a type of construction in which the structural elements (walls, floors) serve as load-bearing components and are produced by cold-forming galvanized steel. The structural elements, manufactured in factories using CNC machines under controlled and supervised conditions, are delivered securely to the construction site and assembled. Compared to traditional construction systems, they offer a precision advantage. Since it is a prefabricated system itself, it is also possible to place orders for doors, windows, and other equipment during the production process.
The design of steel structures follows permanent building specifications, just like reinforced concrete buildings. Calculations are made based on the load-bearing requirements. In addition, since steel is significantly lighter than concrete, steel structures are exposed to much lower seismic loads. This greatly increases their earthquake resistance compared to reinforced concrete structures. Steel structures can be applied to buildings of all purposes. There are many examples of steel buildings currently in use with very different functions such as residences, schools, hospitals, warehouses, dormitories, hotels, etc.
They easily meet the minimum economic lifespan a building must have and can be used for much longer. In aging tests conducted solely on the steel used, it has been shown to retain its strength for up to 180 years. Moreover, since all sections are enclosed, their lifespan is further extended.
