Advantages of using steel structure in high rise residential buildings

Steel structure houses represent a new mode of residential development in the future. Compared with traditional brick concrete structures and reinforced concrete frame structures, steel structure houses have obvious advantages in terms of use function, design, construction, and comprehensive economic benefits.

1. The steel structure is light in weight and has good seismic performance

2. The steel structure building occupies a small area and has a good sense of space

More and more investors are beginning to realize that open space is more valuable than space occupied by load bearing walls, and no one can predict the needs of residents in the next 10 years. However, in order to ensure the occupancy rate of more than 99% in residential buildings, investors must consider the flexibility of residential building space utilization. Therefore, in addition to reducing the floor space as much as possible, the flexibility and freedom of space in the building are also issues that must be considered by rational investors now and in the future.

3. The comprehensive benefit of steel structure housing is higher than that of traditional housing system

Whether concrete or steel, structural material costs make up less than 10 percent of the total cost. In other words, the use of steel or concrete has little effect on the overall construction cost. However, from the perspective of saving space and increasing the flexibility of space utilization, the overall cost can be greatly reduced.

Investors all want to generate profits as long as possible and recover the investment cost as quickly as possible, especially in the middle areas of some big cities, where the rent per unit area continues to rise. To increase the usable area as much as possible, even at the expense of taking out the space occupied by the structural columns, is a problem that designers must consider. Secondly, the short construction period of steel structure houses can speed up capital turnover; light weight can reduce investment in basic parts; low construction foundation costs and high degree of construction mechanization make the development of steel structure houses extremely competitive and good. market expectation.

4. steel structure buildings are favored for their environmental protection advantages

The steel structure construction site has a small amount of work, no noise, and no pollution to the surrounding environment. Solid clay bricks used in traditional buildings have been banned for a limited time due to a large amount of waste of land resources and environmental pollution. On the contrary, because the steel structure house is easy to realize industrialized production and standardized production, it can be matched with new energy-saving and environmentally friendly wall materials. Therefore, healthy, environmentally friendly and earthquake-resistant steel structure houses meet the requirements of residential industrialization and sustainable development, and are an inevitable trend in the development of modern residential buildings.

Steel structure buildings have been widely used in the world. In the world's high-rise buildings, pure steel structures account for about 50%, and more than 60% of the world's residential buildings use steel structures. Therefore, the prospect of steel structure buildings is very broad.
