METAL STRUCTURES
e.g.s pillay engineering college
Nagapat tinam 611002
PREPARED BY
ARUN.D
INTRODUCTION
A solid material which is typically hard, shiny,
malleable, fusible and ductile, with good
electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g. iron,
gold, silver, aluminium, and alloys such as
steel).
STEEL
Steel is an alloy of iron & carbon
Iron is the major ore of steel
Steel contains 0.002% to 2.1% of carbon
Carbon provides necessary strength
PROPERTIES …
Strength
Toughness
Ductility
Durability
Weldability
 MANUFACTURING OF STEEL
Carbonization of Coke
Blast furnace
Basic oxygen steel making
Electric arc method
STEEL BUILDINGS
A steel building is a
metal structure fabricated
With steel for the internal
Support and for exterior
Cladding .
STEEL IN CONSTRUCTION TODAY
Nowadays , most of the buildings were
constructed using steel .
Steel provides more strength .
Architects have more flexibility in designing .
Can be combined with other materials .
100% recyclable .
MAIN USES OF STEEL BUILDINGS
Storage Buildings
Skyscrapers
Office Buildings & Commercial Buildings
Temporary Buildings
Tower Structures
STORAGE BUILDINGS SKYSCRAPERS
OFFICE BUILDINGS TOWER STRUCTURES
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS OF STEEL
BUILDINGS
1. Planning
2. Ground & Site preparation
3. Fabrication
4. Erection
5. Framing
6. Sheeting
SITE INVESTIGATIONS
The main purpose of site investigation
To determine the nature of the sub soil .
To determine the bearing capacity of the soil .
To determine the possibility of the ground
movement .
FABRICATION
Fabrication describes the processing of steel
from manufacturer to final delivery to a
construction project, which includes
coating
Stockyard storage
Cutting
Bending
Welding
ERECTION
METHODS OF Joining
BOLTING WELDING
CONCRETE SLAB
• Metal deck may need to be assessed for its
ability to stabilize the steel members .

Steel
• IS: 802 Part 2 : 1978 – Code of Practice for use of Structural
Steel in Overhead Transmission Towers-Fabrication,
Galvanizing, Inspection and Packing
• IS: 806 : 1968 – Code of Practice for USE OF Steel Tubes in
General Building Construction
• IS: 808 : 1989 – Dimensions for Hot Rolled Steel Beam,
Column, Channel and Angle Sections
• IS:814 : 2004 – Covered Electrodes for Manual Metal Arc
Welding of Carbon and Carbon Manganese Steel
Specification
• IS:816 : 1969 – Code of Practice for use of Metal Arc
Welding for General Construction in Mild Steel.
• IS:1161 : 1998 – Specification For Steel Tubes for Structural
Purposes.
IN INDIA
Like the concrete technology .
Rare steel structures .
As re-bars but not complete steel structures .
Major reasons were…
Cost
Installation & Transportation
STEEL STRUCTURE IN INDIA
• Howrah Bridge
• Kolkata , India
• Material : Steel(23K TONS
• Length: 705 m
• width: 71ft
• Constructed in: 1942
PROS OF STEEL BUILDINGS
Consistent Material Quality
Light weight & strong
Dimensionally Stable in any
Climate
Can withstand Disasters
Can built tall & wide
Insect Resistance
Pre-fabricated frames assembled Quickly
CONS OF STEEL BUILDINGS
Steel is an expensive material (much more than
masonry or concrete)
High maintenance
Requires more space
Requires Skilled Labors
Properties can vary when temperature above 700c
CONCRETE STRUCTURE VS STEEL STRUCTURE
CONCRETE STRUCTURE
• More Durable
• Less resistance to Durable
• Low load carrying capacity
• Scrap value is nil
• Self wt. is very high
• Foundation should be
strong
• Simple process
• Low cost
STEEL STRUCTURE
• Less Durable
• More resistance to Disasters
• High load carrying capacity
• Scrap value is good
• Self wt. is 60% less than
concrete
• Structure can be made
without foundation
• Requires skilled labors
• Cost is high
CONCLUSION
• Steel structures demand greater precision
than those built with masonry or concrete
frame, which cannot be guaranteed by all
contractors .
• Factors weighing against them like cost and
energy may appear less important than site
value or project period .
THANK YOU…..
