As a major steel-producing country, our country has long begun to use steel to make factory buildings. Specifically, it is divided into light steel and heavy steel structure workshops.

The construction of steel structure factory buildings is mainly divided into the following parts:

1. Embedded parts (can stabilize the factory structure)

2. Pillars are usually made of H-shaped steel or C-shaped steel (usually two C-shaped steels are connected with angle steel)

3. Beams generally use C-shaped steel and H-shaped steel (the height of the intermediate area is determined according to the span of the beam)

4. Purlins: Generally, C-shaped steel and Z-shaped steel are used.

5. Supports and braces, usually round steel.

6. There are two types of tiles.

The first type is single-piece tiles (color steel tiles).

The second type is composite board. (Polyurethane or rock wool is sandwiched between two layers of color-coated boards to provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer, as well as sound insulation and fire protection).

Main Advantages of Steel Structure Workshops

1. Light weight, high strength, and large span: Although the density of steel is higher than that of other building materials, its strength is high. Under the same force, the steel structure has a small weight and can be made into a structure with a large span.

2. Short construction period: The frame components of the factory building are mainly prefabricated in the factory and installed after being transported to the site. The assembly work is convenient for construction.

3. High fire resistance: When the surface temperature of the steel is within 150°C, its strength changes very little. When the temperature exceeds 150°C, its strength decreases significantly. Generally, fire retardant coatings are applied to the surface of steel structures to form a protective film to increase the fire resistance of the components. Of course, the reasonable division of fire protection zones and the use of fire protection roller shutters are also very important.

4. Anti-seepage and waterproof: The infiltration of rainwater is mainly through nodes or gaps. To achieve anti-seepage and waterproof, it is necessary to use sealing gaskets at the screw openings and use hidden fixings, and use sealant or welding at the lap joints of the boards. It is best to use a full-length board to eliminate lap joints, and to strictly waterproof the various joints.

5. Sound insulation and thermal insulation: Fill the metal roof layer with sound insulation material (usually glass wool), or apply heat-insulating reflective paint on the metal tile surface.

6. Ventilation and cooling: In general high-structure factory buildings, there is no super-power heating equipment, the personnel are not very dense, and there is no peculiar smell or dust generation. It is enough to use the roof fan + air tower. For steel structure workshops with higher structures and larger spans, it is best to install a large exhaust fan on the roof to exhaust the air outdoors; form indoor negative pressure; press a large amount of fresh air into the workshop from around the workshop to form air Convection; the effect is better.

7. Good lighting: Install lighting panels or lighting glass at specific locations on the roof. Considering the service life of the skylight and the coordination of the roof panels, the joints must be waterproofed.
