A variety of architectural forms continue to emerge, among which steel structure is undoubtedly a relatively novel and also a construction method that many people are concerned about. So compared to common brick and concrete building structures, it is obvious that steel structures are not yet widely used in construction in China. So, what is the future development space for this building structure?
1、 Advantages of Steel Structures
Technicians from American steel structure manufacturers stated that, from a horizontal comparison perspective, the current advantage of steel structures is that the semi-finished products of construction processing are basically completed in the factory, and on-site installation and construction are fast. Moreover, steel structures have good seismic resistance and higher safety.
2、 Direction of steel structure
Building information modeling is also an advantage brought about by the development of computer information technology. Therefore, for large steel structure buildings, the highly developed information technology in the future will bring deeper management and coordination systems to steel structure buildings, which is conducive to fault detection and prevention in steel structures. At the same time, it can also play more advantages of steel structure buildings, improve pre-processing of some problems, and reduce cost control and construction difficulty.
In the future, land resources will be scarce, population density will increase, and residential and commercial buildings will become increasingly high. Therefore, steel structures will also be the trend, which is beyond doubt.
3、 Future development space
Although many high-rise buildings still use traditional brick and concrete structures, the construction of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, the emergence of highways, and other modern steel structure buildings also indicate various changes in modern architecture. Although some people still criticize large-scale steel structure construction projects in China, American steel structure manufacturers believe that steel structure buildings will inevitably occupy an important place in the future development space of architecture.
