Acélváz

Acélváz refers to a steel frame, a structural system built using steel components. These frames are common in the construction of various buildings, including industrial facilities, warehouses, commercial spaces, and even some residential structures. The primary advantage of steel frames lies in their strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for large open spans and taller buildings with less material compared to traditional construction methods. Steel is also known for its durability, resistance to fire (when properly protected), and seismic performance.

The fabrication of steel frames involves cutting, shaping, and welding steel members like beams, columns, and braces. These prefabricated components are then transported to the construction site and assembled using bolts or welding. The design of an acélváz considers factors such as load-bearing requirements, wind resistance, and thermal expansion. While steel itself is strong, its susceptibility to corrosion necessitates protective coatings like paint or galvanization. Additionally, steel can lose its structural integrity at high temperatures, requiring fireproofing measures for safety regulations. The use of acélváz has become increasingly popular due to its efficiency, speed of construction, and potential for customization.
