Rakennusteräksiin

Rakennusteräksiin, often translated as construction steel or structural steel, refers to steel products specifically manufactured for use in the building and construction industry. These materials are essential for creating the framework, support structures, and reinforcing elements of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure. The primary characteristic of construction steel is its high tensile strength, which allows it to withstand significant pulling forces and loads without deforming or breaking.

Different types of construction steel exist, each with specific properties and applications. Common forms include steel beams, columns, angles, and channels, which are used for load-bearing frames. Reinforcing bars, or rebar, are embedded in concrete to enhance its tensile strength and prevent cracking, a critical component in almost all modern concrete construction. Steel plates and sheets are also utilized for various structural and cladding purposes. The production of construction steel involves strict quality control to ensure it meets specific standards for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Its widespread use is due to its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and ability to be fabricated into complex shapes.
