Steel and Concrete framing

Steel
1. Advantages

  8. High risidual value
2. Disadvantages
  1. Changes to design after production can be expensive
  2. Usually require bracing to prevent racking (deformation) in high winds
  3. Mistake from manufacturer can be detromental as each frame is usually unique
  4. Can buckle in fire (fire protection required)

  2. Stanchion splices 10-12m lengths)
  3. Beam to beam( splice plates/ weak point/ Headroom)
  4. Beams to stanchions ( Beam resting on beam/ web to web)
  5. Welded or bolted
8. Cold formed sections
  1. Pressed steel (formed into shape by press breaking or bending)( Flooring/ Roofing elements)
  2. Cold rolled sections (longer elements) (Variety of shapes and sizes)
9. Bracing
  1. Lateral resistance to wind
  2. Rigid frames (stiff connections/ plate or gusset stiffeners)
  3. Shear walls (lift shafts/ Stairwells/ Stiff verticle elements)
  4. Diagonal (Kor X) Bracing- Principle of triangulations/ Rigid diaphragm
10. Composite construction
  1. Concrete floor slabs( in-situ or precast)
  2. Concrete encasement (stiffening action)
  3. Metal floor deck (stud welding)
  4. Interaction of structural members
11. Beams
  1. Connection is key
  2. Normally universal sections from Corus
  3. Heavier loads need to develop stiffer beams (girders)
12. Welded construction
  1. Lighter than bolts (20-25% lighter)
  2. Bolt holes eliminated
  3. Simpler connections
  4. Rigid end connections
Concrete
