What is Steel Structure? Why should you choose a steel structure?

Expert opinion - 22/08/2022

Steel structure is considered to be a type of solid construction with highly resistant and cost-effective materials. Industrial factories, large buildings, infrastructure systems, warehouses, airports, supermarkets have put steel structures into use quite commonly. Join Pebsteel to find out some types of application of steel products, outstanding advantages and the most aesthetic and popular durable construction steel structures in 2022.

1. What is steel structure?

Steel structures are bearing structures of construction works which are designed and made of steel. This type of structure is widely used in the construction industry, especially in massive-scale construction works such as prefabricated steel buildings, industrial factories because of the useful features of steel.

2. Types of steel structures in construction

Here are some types of constructions that using building steel structures in Pebsteel’s project:

Industrial factory

This is the first factory construction in the leather shoe and handbag industry in Vietnam with a clear span frame with a width up to 96 meters and a column step of 15 meters wide.

In addition to pebsteel’s construction works, the construction steel structure is also put into construction in world famous massive construction such as:

Nebuta-No-Ie Warasse Museum 

Nebuta-no-ie Warasse with a height of 12 meters, an area of up to 4339.0 m2. As you approach, you will see rows of steel that are bent and twisted to create light effects, viewing angles, and create entrances to the building.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

The Music Center Los Angeles is the fourth music center in one of the largest music centers in the United States. The entire exterior of this unique prefabricated steel building is built almost by stainless steel with a matte surface. Part of the structure outside the building uses steel with a shiny mirror surface.

3. Advantages of steel structure in construction

Steel structures are commonly used in construction works thanks to the following advantages:

High safety and bearing capacity

Using steel structures has proven to be a safe solution during construction. Steel components have been manufactured at the factory and then brought to the constructions for use, so it can restrict much noise and dirt in the construction site. 

Besides, steel is a material of great intensity, for the ability to withstand very high traction and compression.

High durability

Constructions built from steel have a life expectancy of up to 50-60 years if the material quality is good. In addition, customers who use Pebsteel’s services will own a 10-year warranty package for prefabricated steel structures and 2 years for materials.

Highly applicable

Steel structures are very popular and diverse in many different construction works such as factories, towers, bridges, civil buildings, hangars, buildings,…

Flexibility in architecture and aesthetics

Steel structures are highly flexible in terms of architecture and aesthetics. The fabricated components are focus on aesthetics such as decorative paint coating, protection,… In addition, it can be combined with other materials such as wood, cement flexibly to suit the preferences and needs of users.

Rapid construction time

The steel structure is fully processed at the factory based on technical drawings and then brought to the works and installed. Therefore, the construction time of the structure is significantly shortened compared to other types of structures.

4. Aesthetic steel buildings and steel structures in 2022

Currently, massive constructions applying steel structures in construction are very popular. Here are some of the most popular designs currently constructed by Pebsteel:
