Conventional Steel Structures
Steel structure is a construction system, where the load-bearing systems are made of steel beams and plates, and that is, in particular, preferred in geographical regions having an earthquake risk, and used for the construction of industrial facilities, warehouses, entrepots, plants, multi-storey buildings, business and shopping centres, hotels, bridges and stadiums.
Steel structures have superior mechanical characteristics, static capabilities and ease of application, when compared to other load-bearing systems. Steel construction, which is widely used in European countries, is becoming wide also in our country, as it is faster to complete, safer, more economic, and has certain standards.
To summarize the advantages of steel material, and therefore steel construction;
- Steel is a homogeneous and isotropic alloy. And it is fabricated in plants and under supervision. Therefore it has a lower factor of safety.
- As it is highly durable, it has low material costs. As a result, self-weight of steel structures are considerably lower when compared to reinforced concrete structures. And as a natural outcome, such structures are exposed to less earthquake force.
- They are flexible.
- Steel structures are fabricated in plants and installed on building sites. Thus, weather conditions do not affect the duration and quality of construction.
- Steel structures may be disassembled from where they are built on, and may be re-installed on a different construction location.
- It is easier to modify and/or reinforce the steel structures according to the needs that may change in time.
- In the long-span constructions, the spans that cannot be joined by other structural materials, can be joined easily using steel.
- Steel is very convenient and flexible solution for architectural, electrical and mechanical problems.
- Use of steel in construction is environment-friendly method and minimizes water consumption and the contamination risk of water sources and underground waters.
- It is a highly reusable material.
We fabricate the steel construction in facilities of Zeman Çelik (ZEÇEL) in Sakarya Hendek 2nd Organized Industrial Zone using state-of-the-art technology.
