1. What are large-span steel structures?
Large-span steel structures are a type of steel structure capable of bearing loads with a span exceeding 30 meters. This structure is often applied in special projects that demand expansive spaces unobstructed by columns, such as stadiums, airports, factories, and more.
In the context of the continually evolving modern construction industry, large-span steel structures have become a popular choice for many investors.

2. The characteristics of large-span steel structures
Here are some characteristic features of large-span steel structures:
- Prefabricated Components: Factory-casted components are directly lifted upon arrival at the construction site, saving time and significantly enhancing construction efficiency.
- Industrialized Production Process: Industrial production processes are implemented, and diverse structures are integrated directly at the factory to ensure the integrity and stability of the frame.
- Adaptability to Various Building Heights: Can accommodate the needs of various building heights and different building planes.
- Compatibility with Lightweight Wall Materials: Capable of integration with lightweight, non-load-bearing wall materials, facilitating a highly industrialized construction and installation process.
- High Precision Components and Rapid Construction Processes: Parts and components exhibit high precision, and the construction lifting process is carried out rapidly.

3. The advantage of large-span steel structures
3.1. Enhancing the seismic resistance of the structure
Large-span steel structure constructions exhibit excellent flexibility. Under the influence of dynamic loads, they can absorb a substantial amount of energy, thereby reducing the risk of cracking and improving the seismic resistance significantly.

3.2. Adherence to green construction standards
Steel structures can be manufactured in factories and assembled on-site, reducing pollution and aligning with green standards. Additionally, construction contractors can leverage the high load-bearing capacity of steel, leading to material savings.
3.3. Reduce labor costs
The construction industry is grappling with the challenge of rising labor costs, a primary obstacle to the sustainable development of the construction sector. Large-span steel structure buildings can implement industrialized prefabrication, reducing the number of personnel required for on-site construction, easing labor allocation difficulties, and saving construction costs.
3.4. Time and cost savings
Large-span steel structure projects, being relatively lightweight, incur essential costs that are over 30% lower compared to traditional concrete and steel-framed buildings. The transportation costs for these projects are also relatively low. Moreover, the construction speed of these projects is relatively fast.
