Steel Construction
These structures can be used for many different purposes such as buildings, warehouses, hangars, parking lots, sheds, mezzanines, totems, tunnels, bridges, stadiums, train stations and industrial industrial structures.
Steel construction has the advantage of a durable, lightweight, sustainable and modular system with the advantage of rapid fabrication, enabling even the most complex design-based systems to be built.
- Durability: Steel is durable because it is a material with high strength. They are long-lasting systems that can be used for years with maintenance and repair.
- Lightweight: Steel is very light compared to other materials. Therefore, steel structures are easier to construct and transport. Also, due to light weight, the basic costs of steel structures are lower.
- Flexibility: Since steel is a highly flexible material, steel structures are more resilient to earthquakes, wind and other natural disasters.
- Cost: The cost of steel construction, which allows for larger structures and wider spans, is lower than other materials. In addition, steel material has the advantage of being recyclable.
- Effect on Fire : Steel structures become fire resistant with the necessary protection layers (paint etc.).
- Effect on Earthquake : Steel structures are very resistant to earthquakes. Steel material is resistant to flexing and stretching in earthquakes.
- Environmentally friendly: Steel material is highly recyclable and environmentally friendly. When steel material is recycled, it has less impact on the environment.
Steel Construction Usage Areas
- Buildings: Steel material can be used for building construction. Steel construction can be used for multi-purpose buildings such as office buildings, commercial centers, schools, hospitals, public buildings.
- Tunnels: Steel material can be used for tunnel construction. Steel construction can be used in tunnel projects such as highways, metro tunnels, water tunnels.
- Bridges: Steel material can be used for bridge construction. Steel construction can be used for land, sea and railroad bridges.
- Stadiums: Steel material can be used for stadium construction. Steel construction can be used for sports fields such as soccer stadiums, athletics fields, tennis courts, etc.
- Train stations: Steel material can be used for the construction of railway stations. Steel construction can be used for train stations such as passenger terminals, train stations, train line crossings.
- Industrial structures: Steel material can be used for the construction of industrial buildings. Steel construction can be used for industrial buildings such as factories, power plants, storage facilities.
Standards and Legislation on the Design and Construction of Steel Structures
- BUILDING EARTHQUAKE CODE OF TURKEY-2018
Principles for the Design of Buildings Under the Effects of Earthquakes - ABOUT THE REGULATION ON DESIGN, CALCULATION AND CONSTRUCTION PRINCIPLES OF STEEL STRUCTURES
Application Guide - TS498
Calculation Values of Loads to be taken in Dimensioning of Structural Elements - EN 1090
It is the Europe-wide recognized standard for steel structures. EN 1090 applies to the construction of steel structures and CE marking.
These standards and legislation are used for the design, construction, maintenance and repair of steel structures. They are important to ensure the safety and performance of steel structures. In addition, compliance with these standards and legislation is mandatory.
Maintenance and Repair of Steel Structures
- Regular inspection: Steel structures need to be inspected regularly. This is important to ensure the safety and performance of steel structures.
- Painting and coating: Painting and coating of steel structures ensures that steel structures are protected against corrosion and fire.
- Repair: With time, fatigue and deformation of steel can occur in steel structures. Therefore, repairing steel structures increases the life of the structure by three times.
