  Steel structure is a very adaptable building type, so different prefabricated steel construction has different advantages.   High-Rise Steel Structure According to the building height and design requirements, frame, frame support, cylinder and giant frame structures are adopted respectively, and its components can be made of steel, stiff reinforced concrete or steel tube concrete. Steel components are lightweight and have good ductility. Welded steel or rolled steel can be used, which is suitable for ultra-high-rise buildings. Stiff reinforced concrete components have high stiffness and good fire resistance, and are suitable for mid-to-high-rise buildings or bottom structures. Concrete steel tubes are easy to construct. For column structures only. Space Steel Structure The space steel structure has light weight, high stiffness, beautiful appearance and fast construction speed. Ball-node flat-plate grids with steel pipes as rods, multi-layer variable-section grids and grid shells are the structural types with the largest consumption of space steel structures in my country. It has the advantages of large spatial rigidity and low steel consumption. It has complete CAD procedures for design, construction and inspection. In addition to grid structures, space structures also include long-span suspension cable structures, cable-membrane structures, etc. Light Steel Structure It is accompanied by a new structural form consisting of walls and roof envelopes made of lightweight colored steel panels. It is a light steel structure system composed of large-section thin-walled H-shaped steel wall beams and roof purlins welded or rolled by steel plates above 5mm, flexible support systems made of round steel and high-strength bolt connections. The column spacing can be from 6m to 9m, and the span can be up to 30m or more, the height can reach more than ten meters, and four light cranes can be installed. The amount of steel used is 20~30kg/m2. There are now standardized design procedures and specialized production enterprises. The products have good quality, fast installation speed, light weight, low investment, and construction is not subject to seasonal restrictions. It is suitable for various light industrial plants.   Steel-Concrete Composite Structure The beam and column load-bearing structure composed of shaped steel or steel management and concrete components is a steel-concrete composite structure, and its application scope has been increasingly expanded in recent years. The composite structure has the advantages of both steel and concrete. It has high overall strength, good rigidity, and good seismic resistance. When it is constructed with outer concrete, it has better fire resistance and corrosion resistance. Combined structural members can generally reduce the amount of steel used by 15 to 20%. Combined floor slabs and steel tube concrete components also have the advantages of less or no formwork, convenient and fast construction, and have great potential for promotion. It is suitable for frame beams, columns and floor coverings of multi-story or high-rise buildings with larger loads, and industrial building columns and floor coverings.   High-Strength Bolt Connection And Welding High-strength bolts, which consist of three components—bolts, nuts, and washers—transmit stress via friction. High-strength bolted connections have the advantages of simple construction, flexible disassembly, high bearing capacity, good fatigue resistance and self-locking properties, and high safety. In the field of engineering, they have supplanted partial welding and riveting as the primary method of connection for the manufacture and installation of steel structures. For steel components made in the workshop, thick plates should use automatic multi-wire arc submerged welding, and box column partitions should use fusion nozzle electroslag welding and other technologies. During on-site installation and construction, semi-automatic welding technology, gas shielded welding flux-cored wire and self-shielded flux-cored wire technology should be used.   Steel Structure Protection Anti-rust, anti-corrosion, and fire protection are all included in steel structural protection. Generally, there is no need for anti-rust treatment after fire-retardant coating treatment. However, anti-corrosion treatment is still required in buildings with corrosive gases. There are many types of fire retardant coatings in China, such as TN series, MC-10, etc. Among them, MC-10 fire retardant coatings include alkyd enamel paint, chlorinated rubber paint, fluorine rubber paint, and chlorosulfonated paint. During construction, appropriate coatings and coating thicknesses should be selected based on the steel structure type, fire resistance grade requirements and environmental requirements.

100 X 100 Steel Building Cost There are several uses for a 100′ by 100′ steel building, including warehouse, workshop, community space, sport building, barn, and more. An entire 10,000 square feet of useable area are left available on the floor of a 100′ by 100′ metal building thanks to its clear span design. You can also modify the steel building’s height to suit your equipment or storage requirements.   What Is The 100 X 100 Metal Building Price? 100′ by 100′ steel building can be built for a variety of purposes, but the price of construction depends on factors such building location and design, wind and snow loads, material costs, and product availability. For a building project to be both profitable and completed on schedule, contractors and architects need to take into account the dramatic variations in construction prices brought about by the present economic impact on the supply chain. * DISCLAIMER: Because of the sharp variations in building costs, this information should only be used as a general reference. Realize that problems with the supply chain, the price of materials, and customer demand can have a big influence on cost projections. Apart from issues with the supply chain and the availability of materials, the approximate cost of a 100′ by 100′ steel building in a typical market is $12 to $19 per ft2 ($120,000 to $190,000), plus grading and land. For steel buildings 10,000 square feet and more, the cost of concrete and erection will go up since these structures require larger teams than the typical 5-person team and an upgrade from a 6,000- to a 10,000-pound shooting boom forklift.   Several other considerations need to be taken into account by builders and architects when evaluating the turnkey cost of a 100′ x 100′ steel building： * Depending on the area, land and grading expenses can differ dramatically. Selecting a level lot with hard clay, an organic water drainage path, and no trees will lower the cost of grading. * The concrete foundation of the building was poured. * Soft costs include things like taxes, legal fees, insurance, permits, architectural drawings, engineering, and non-permanent furnishings like desks and chairs. * Financing costs such as the interest rate and fees paid to the bank for your building financing.   100×100 Steel Buildings Are Popular for Several Reasons… For contractors and building owners, prefabricated steel or metal buildings offer numerous financial advantages, including high resale value, speedy construction, lower labor and material costs, and fewer long-term expenses.   Build Faster With QHHK Steel Structures Unlike traditional building methods that take months to complete, QHHK Steel Buildings has everything you need to erect a pre-engineered 100′ × 100′ steel building from a steel building kit in just a few weeks.

Tips For Unloading Your Steel Building One benefit of buying a pre-engineered metal building is that it will be delivered straight to your jobsite in packaging that are properly marked, which will expedite erection and reduce related costs. However, there are a few things you can do to guarantee a flawless delivery of your structure before it gets to your jobsite, and there are also a few things you can do to make the unloading steel building procedure as easy and stress-free as possible.   Therefore, make sure to: before your building gets at your jobsite:   Set Safety As Priority Because certain steel construction components can weigh thousands of pounds, it’s critical to have enough labor on hand for delivery, along with the right lifting equipment, such as a crane or forklift, to unload and prepare everything for erection.   Search For "Builder's Risk" Insurance Investing heavily in a steel building means that you should always have insurance coverage in case the building components are damaged during construction, unloading, or bad weather. You must obtain “builder’s risk” insurance to safeguard your purchase because, in most cases, your contractor will not have insurance that covers damaged goods.   Ensure Ready Availability Of Payment Be ready to pay the building maker cash-on-delivery upon the tractor-trailer’s arrival if they require certified funds (i.e., no personal or business checks). To save extra procedures or delays, have your check ready to go when the truck comes. Set Up The Site It is essential that you get your jobsite ready for delivery in advance because you will have a limited window of time to unload your structure. Make sure there is enough room for unloading and storing goods in addition to having the building’s foundation solidly in place. Regarding the supply dunnage, you should also ensure that you have blocks and timber material that you may use to raise the steel components off the ground and let moisture escape. Additionally, you want to confirm that nothing will hinder a tractor-trailer’s ability to enter your area.   When the truck arrives for unloading and your jobsite is prepared for delivery, be sure to: Check The List Carefully When you first unload the materials, that is the easiest time to inventory them. Before you sign for and accept the goods, mark any damaged or missing parts right away on the shipping bill. Notify your provider right once if any parts are broken or missing.   Do Not Cut Steel Panels If you’re not careful, you could end up crimping or folding the entire bundle of particularly lengthy sheets or panels, but a spreader bar can assist you prevent this. A spreader bar is a sort of lifting equipment that helps distribute weight uniformly, making a load easier to work with and handle for forklift operators. For really lengthy panels, two forklifts can also be used.

Yield Strength: Yield strength is the point at which a material begins to plastically deform, that is, the lowest stress at which the material begins to continue to deform. In tensile testing, the stress applied when a material begins to transition from a linear elastic phase to a plastic deformation phase is the yield strength. 2. Tensile Strength: Tensile strength is the maximum tensile stress of a material in a tensile test, indicating the maximum tensile force that the material can withstand. Tensile strength is usually the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking in tension. 3. Compressive Strength: Compressive strength is the ability of a material to resist compression, that is, the maximum stress that a material can withstand when subjected to pressure. 4. Flexural Strength: Flexural strength is the bending resistance of a material under bending loading, that is, the maximum stress at which the material will not be damaged under bending loading. 5. Impact Toughness: Impact toughness describes the ability of a material to absorb energy without causing damage when subjected to impact load or sudden loading.   These strength indicators are commonly used parameters in materials engineering. Different projects and applications require steel to have different strength properties. Therefore, the selection of steel is often based on specific engineering requirements and use environment to determine the required strength index.   Classification Basis Of Steel Types In general, steel materials are classified based on: * Chemical composition: such as carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel * Smelting method: such as open hearth steel, converter steel, electric furnace steel * Processing technology: such as hot-rolled steel and cold-rolled steel * Product shape: such as thick plates, thin plates, strips, pipes and profiles, etc. * Deoxidation methods: such as killed steel, semi-killed steel and boiled steel * Microstructure: such as ferritic steel, pearlitic steel and martensitic steel, etc. * Strength level: For example, the tensile strength of ASTM standard A420 Grade C is between 515Mpa and 655Mpa * Heat treatment processes: such as annealing, quenching, tempering and thermomechanical processing   Steel is often divided into three broad categories based on carbon content: * Mild Carbon Steels, such as: AISI 1005 to AISI 1026, IF, HSLA, TRIP, and TWIN steels * Medium Carbon Steel, such as: AISI 1029 to AISI 1053 * High Carbon Steel such as: AISI 1055 to AISI 1095   In addition, according to European standard classification, steel can be divided into the following categories: * Non-alloy steel, such as: EN DC01-DC06; S235; S275 * Alloy steel, such as: 2CrMo4 and 25CrMo4, * Tool steels such as: EN 1.1545; AISI/SAE W110; EN 1.2436, AISI/SAE D6 * Electrical steel plates and strips, such as: EN 1.0890 and EN 1.0803.   Sometimes special grades may have different characteristics due to different standards. For example, 34CrMo4 is jointly defined by DIN and EN. There are six specifications (subgroups) in EN but a different specification in DIN. These steel specifications report changes in tensile properties due to various deformation heat treatments.

Steel Structure Clean Workshop Clean workshop is a special work area designed to control dust, microorganisms and other contaminants in the environment. They are commonly used in industries that require a highly clean and sterile environment, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical device manufacturing, and electronics manufacturing. The design and operation of clean workshops aim to minimize or eliminate fine dust and microorganisms in the air to ensure the quality and safety of the production process. These workshops typically use special air filtration systems, strict environmental controls, and regular cleaning procedures to maintain a high level of cleanliness. In clean workshops, personnel are often required to wear special protective clothing and masks to prevent external contaminants from entering the work area. Cleanroom levels are typically classified based on their allowable limits on airborne particles, such as those specified in the ISO 14644 standard.   Clean Workshop Applications Clean workshops are widely used in many fields. Here are some common scenarios: Pharmaceutical Industry: The pharmaceutical industry has extremely high requirements for a clean environment and is used in drug manufacturing, drug packaging and filling. Medical Device Manufacturing: When producing medical devices and equipment, the presence of microorganisms and other contaminants needs to be strictly controlled to ensure product safety and quality. Electronic Manufacturing: In the manufacturing process of chips, semiconductors and other electronic equipment, clean workshops can reduce the impact of dust and other particles on electronic devices. Food Processing: In some food processing processes, especially for highly sensitive food products (such as certain beverages, dairy products, etc.), a clean environment is required to ensure product hygiene and quality. Aerospace Industry: In the aviation and aerospace fields, clean workshops are used to manufacture aviation parts and aerospace devices to ensure their performance and safety. Laboratories and Research: Scientific research laboratories require clean environments to conduct experiments that are sensitive to microorganisms and the environment. Cleanliness Grade Standards Cleanliness grade is a standardized grading system used to describe the degree of cleanliness. It is usually used to measure the number and size of particles in the air in a clean environment. These rating systems usually classify based on the size and amount of particles in the air, with the most common standard being the ISO 14644 standard. The ISO 14644 standard defines cleanroom cleanliness classes that describe the number of particles of a fixed size in the air. Specific levels include: 1. ISO 1 to ISO 9: ISO 1 is the highest level of cleanliness, and ISO 9 is the lowest. ISO Class 1 means there are no more than 10 particles of 0.1 microns (microns) or less per cubic meter of air. As the rating decreases, the amount of particulate matter allowed increases accordingly. 2. ISO 14644-1 Standard: This standard also defines the design and operational requirements for clean rooms to ensure that cleanliness levels are maintained. Each industry may have specific requirements for cleanliness levels to ensure product quality and safety. Clean Workshop: Steel Structure VS Concrete 1.
