The difference between light steel structure and steel structure

 Not only have many large-scale projects begun to use Steel structure buildings, many self-built houses in rural areas have also begun to build steel structure houses. When it comes to steel structures, there are light steel structures and steel structures (common steel or heavy steel) on the market. So what is the difference between light steel structures and steel structures? Today we will take a look at their specific definitions and differences.

What is light steel structure?

 This is how the light steel structure design regulations distinguish light steel from ordinary steel; there is no strict definition of light steel structure houses, and they can generally be distinguished by the cross-sectional composition of the main stress-bearing components. Therefore, the following structures can be called light steel structures:

(1) Structure made of cold-formed thin-walled steel;

(2) Structure made of hot-rolled lightweight steel;

(3) Structures composed of welded and high-frequency welded lightweight steel;

(4) Structures made of round tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes, etc.;

(5) Structure made of components welded from thin steel plates;

(6) A structure made of a combination of the above components.

What is steel structure?

Steel structure is a structure mainly composed of steel materials and is one of the main types of building structures. The structure is mainly composed of steel beams, steel columns, Steel Trusses and other components made of shaped steel and steel plates. Each component or component is usually connected by welds, bolts or rivets. Because of its light weight and simple construction, it is widely used in large factories, venues, super high-rises and other fields.

What is the difference between light steel structure and steel structure?

1. Different types

Light steel structure is a young and vital steel structure system.

Steel structure is a structure composed of steel materials and is one of the main types of building structures. The structure is mainly composed of beams, steel columns, steel trusses and other components made of shaped steel and steel plates, and adopts rust removal and anti-rust processes such as silanization, pure manganese phosphating, washing and drying, and galvanizing.

2. Different applications

Light steel structures have been widely used in general construction sites, agriculture, commerce, and service buildings, such as office buildings, warehouses, sports venues, entertainment, tourism buildings, and low- and multi-story residential buildings.

The components or parts of steel structures are usually connected by welds, bolts or rivets. Because of its light weight and simple construction, it is widely used in large factories, venues, super high-rises and other fields.

3. Different characteristics

Light steel has high strength and high elastic modulus. Compared with concrete and wood, the ratio of its density to yield strength is relatively low. Therefore, under the same stress conditions, the steel structure has a small component section, light weight, easy transportation and installation, and is suitable for large spans, high heights, and heavy loads. Structure.

Steel structural components are easy to manufacture in factories and assemble on construction sites. The factory's mechanized manufacturing of steel structure components has high precision, high production efficiency, fast construction site assembly, and short construction period. Steel structure is the most industrialized structure.
