Stålstruktur

Stålstruktur refers to the use of steel as a primary material in the construction of buildings and other structures. Steel offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it an efficient choice for spanning large distances and supporting significant loads. Its ductility allows it to deform under stress before fracturing, providing a degree of resilience.

The fabrication of steel structures involves shaping steel components, such as beams, columns, and plates, through processes like rolling, cutting, and welding. These fabricated elements are then assembled on-site using bolts or welds. Common types of steel structures include framed buildings, bridges, towers, and industrial facilities.

Advantages of steel structures include their speed of erection, precise manufacturing, and ability to be prefabricated off-site, which can reduce on-site construction time and disruption. Steel is also a sustainable material, as it is highly recyclable. However, steel can be susceptible to corrosion and fire, requiring protective coatings and fireproofing measures. The design and construction of steel structures adhere to strict building codes and engineering standards to ensure safety and performance.
