Structural steel is a type of steel specifically designed for use in construction and engineering projects. It is characterized by its high strength, durability, and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of structural applications. Here are some key features of structural steel:
Composition
Strength: Structural steel has a high yield strength and tensile strength, meaning it can withstand significant loads without deforming or breaking.
Durability: Structural steel is resistant to corrosion, especially when coated with protective materials like paint or galvanization.
Flexibility: Structural steel can be easily fabricated into various shapes and sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Recyclability: An important feature of structural steel is that it is fully recyclable. This means it can be reused multiple times without losing its properties, reducing waste and environmental impact.
Applications
Building Construction: Structural steel is commonly used in the construction of skyscrapers, bridges, stadiums, and other large-scale buildings, providing the necessary support and framework. (For example, Hengon's basketball court project in the Philippines)
Industrial Facilities: Due to its strength and ability to span large distances, structural steel is also used in the construction of factories, warehouses, and other industrial buildings. (Hengon has extensive experience in warehouse and workshop construction, with projects distributed across Africa, North America, and Southeast Asian countries)
Infrastructure: Structural steel is used in the construction of roads, railways, and other infrastructure projects.
Residential Buildings: In some cases, structural steel is also used in residential construction, especially in areas prone to earthquakes or high winds, due to its strength and flexibility. (For example, Hengon's prefabricated steel structure villa project in the Philippines)
Common Shapes
Beams: Used to support horizontal loads, such as floors and roofs.
Columns: Used to support vertical loads, such as building frames.
Channels: Used in various structural applications, including as supports and frames.
Angles: Used for bracing and other structural components.
Plates: Used in the construction of bridges, tanks, and other large structures.
