2. Steel Frame Structure Building Construction
Steel frame is typically consisting of vertical column and horizontal beams which are
riveted, bolted or welded together in a rectilinear grid. Steel beams are horizontal
structural members that resist loads applied laterally to their axis. Columns are vertical
structural members that transfer compressive loads. It can be used to form the skeleton of
a building.
Structural steel framing is typically designed, fabricated and erected in accordance
with applicable standards for instance American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)
and Canadian Standard Association (CSA).
In this article, different aspects of steel frame structure building construction will be
highlighted.

3. Types of Steel Frame Construction
1. Conventional Steel Fabrication
Conventional steel fabrication involves cutting steel members to the correct length and
welding them to build the final structure.
This construction process may be executed on site entirely which require massive
manpower.
Alternatively, for best results it can be done in a workshop partially to provide better
working conditions and reduce work-time.
2. Bolted Steel Construction
In this technique, all structural steel members are fabricated and painted off-site, then
delivered to the construction site, and finally bolted in place.
The size of the steel structural members is controlled by the size of the truck or trailer used
to deliver steel elements. Commonly, the maximum length of 6m m is acceptable for
normal truck and 12m for long trailer.

4. Bolted steel construction is substantially fast because lifting the steel members into place
and bolting are all the works that need to be executed on construction site.
It is considered to be the most preferred construction approach because the most of the
fabrication can be done in workshops, with the right machinery, lighting, and work
conditions
3. Light Gauge Steel Construction
Light gauge steel is a thin sheet (commonly range between 1-3mm) of steel which has
been bent into shape to form C-sections or Z-sections.
It is broadly common and used for the construction of residential and small buildings.
Benefits that light gauge steel construction provide include design flexibility, high
construction speed, strong, lightweight, easy to remodel, Recyclable, good Quality
(durable and low in maintenance).

5. The Various Types of Structural Steel Shapes
Structural steel is one of the most flexible and versatile building materials on earth.
Engineers have used structural steel to accomplish feats thought impossible, building
massive skyscrapers and expansive bridges that have remained for hundreds of years.
To grasp the full potential of structural steel, one must understand its various shapes,
sizes, and potential uses. Here is an overview of the many faces of structural steel.
American Standard Beam (S-Shaped)
Generally known as an S beam, the American standard beam has a rolled section with two
parallel flanges, all connected by a web. The flanges on S-shaped beams are relatively
narrow. The designation of the beam gives the builder information about each unit’s width
and weight.
Angle (L-Shaped)
Angle beams take an L shape, with two legs that come together at a 90-degree angle.
Angle beams come in equal or unequal leg sizes. An unequal leg L beam may have one
leg of 2x2x0.5 and one leg of 6x3x0.5, for example. L beams are typically used in floor
systems because of the reduced structural depth.

6. Bearing Pile (H-Shaped)
When builders can’t find a structure on a shallow foundation, they use bearing piles to
design a deep foundation system. Bearing piles are H-shaped to effectively transfer loads
through the pile to the tip. Bearing piles work best in dense soils that offer most resistance
at the tip. Individual piles can bear more than 1,000 tons of weight.
Channel (C-Shaped)
Structural C channels, or C beams, have a C-shaped cross section. Channels have top and
bottom flanges, with a web connecting them. C-shaped beams are cost-effective solutions
for short- to medium-span structures. Channel beams were originally designed for bridges,
but are popular for use in marine piers and other building applications.
Hollow Steel Section (HSS)
HSS is a metal profile that has a hollow, tubular cross section. HSS units can be square,
rectangular, circular, or elliptical. HSS structures are rounded, with radiuses that are about
twice the thickness of the wall. Engineers commonly use HSS sections in welded steel
frames for which units experience loading in different directions

7. I-Beam
An I Beam, also known as an H beam or a universal beam, has two horizontal elements, the
flanges, with a vertical element as the web. The web is capable of resisting shear forces,
while the horizontal flanges resist most of the beam’s bending movement. The I shape is
very effective at carrying shear and bending loads in the web’s plane. The construction
industry widely uses I beams in a variety of sizes.
Pipe
Structural steel pipes are important for a variety of construction applications, lending
strength and stability. Pipes are hollow, cylindrical tubes that come in a variety of sizes.
Engineers often use steel pipes to meet the needs of water, oil, and gas industry projects.
Tee
A tee beam, or T beam, is a load-bearing beam with a T-shaped cross section. The top of
this cross section is the flange, with the vertical web below. Tee beams can withstand large
loads but lack the bottom flange of the I Beam, giving it a disadvantage in some
applications.

8. Applications of Steel Frame Structure
Steel frame structure is considerably suitable option for the construction of various
buildings and skyscrapers due to its strength, low weigh, speed of construction, large spans
construction capability. steel frame structure can be used in the construction of the
following structures:
• High rise buildings

9. • industrial buildings
• Warehouse buildings

10. • Residential buildings
• Temporary steel structures

11. Advantages of Steel Frame Structural
Construction
• Incredibly versatile
• Environmentally friendly
• Sustainable
• Affordable
• Durable
• Erect quickly and easily
• High strength
• Relatively low weight
• Ability to span large distances
• Adaptability to any kind of shape
• Ductility- when subjected to great force, it will not suddenly crack like glass,
but slowly bend out of shape.
