Steel structure is one of the types of metal structures in which steel is used as the main component of the structure. Steel structures are used for various buildings due to their features such as resistance, strength and ease of design and execution.
The principles of designing steel structures include the following steps:
1 Checking the operating loads of the structure: First, the operating loads of the structure must be identified and checked. These loads may include building weight, wind load, earthquake load and snow load. After identifying the loads, it is necessary to determine the forces applied to the structure.
2. Designing the structural parts: At this stage, the dimensions of the structural parts, their cross sections, the weight and strength of covering the different parts of the structure should be determined.
3 Analysis and design of structural components: In this step, using analysis and design software, the components of the structure and their relationship with each other are determined.
4. Design of foundations and supporting beams: After the design of the structural parts, their foundations and supporting beams should be designed so that they can transfer the load of the structure to the soil.
5 Connection design: In this step, the connections of the structural parts are designed to each other so that they can transmit the forces of the structure well.
6 Production and installation: after design,
The metal parts of the structure must be produced and transported to the building site. Then the parts of the structure are connected to each other and installed.
At the stage of steel structure implementation, the following points should be taken into account:
1. Using skilled and experienced professionals for designing and installing steel structures.
2. Use of quality and standard steel to make structural parts.
3 Complying with the regulations and standards related to the design and construction of steel structures.
4 Carefully inspecting the connections and support beams of the structure.
5 Strict monitoring of the installation and welding process of structural parts.
6 Conducting necessary tests to check the strength and quality of the structure before operation.
Finally, the correct and accurate implementation of the steel structure improves the quality and strength of the building, and it is very important for the buildings that are recommended for the construction of steel structures due to the special type of use and the need for high strength.
