 Introduction:
 Steel is the most used metal in construction is used
everywhere(in bridges, buildings, cars and computers)
 Steel is the most used material in the world after wood and
before concrete and plastics.
 China is the largest steel producer in the world, producing
420 million tons.
 Carbon as the percentage of carbon in steel 2%.
 Types of Steel: (According to
varying carbon content)
 Dead Mild Steel (Less than 0.15 % Carbon )
 Mild Steel (0.15 – 0.30 % Carbon)
 Medium Carbon Steel (0.30 -0.80 % Carbon)
 High Carbon Steel (0.80 -1.50 % Carbon)
 Cast Steel / Carbon Tool Steel (More than 1.50 % Carbon)
 properties of steel
 Composition : Midway between carbon and iron
 Melting point : 1300-1400 degree
 hardness and can be tempered
 compressive strength 4,75-25, 2 tonnes / sqcm
 Unltimate tensile strength is 5,51 to 11,02 t/sqcm
 Light weight
 Tough, Ductile
 Rapidly forged or welded
 Properties of a structural steel frame
In design:
 Large spans
 With columns of small sections
 Great building heights and high loadbearing capacity
 Combined with low dead weight of the structure
 Structural systems in which openings can be easily provided
 To simplify installation of services
Advantages of steel construction
 High durability
 light weight
 Resistance to earthquakes
 Ease and speed of construction
 The possibility of welding
 The construction of buildings with large areas through it
 low cost of construction
 Quality and accuracy
 Note distortions clearly And intervene before these
distortions worsen and remedy
 Disadvantages of the use steel in
construction
 Corrosion due to harmful chemical vapors and therefore should
be protected by special paints.
 High maintenance costs especially when exposed to dent.
 Weak to fire, especially after 500 ° C 7
 Corrosion in wet or saturated with salts and acids
 High accuracy in manufacturing and installation and their needs
require heavy equipment with high efficiency to transport and
install.
 : ARCHITECTURAL USES OF STEEL
 Metal Buildings: Metal buildings are non-combustible and can
be built out of a combination of rigid and braced steel frames
comprised of both hot- and coldformed steel shapes, plates,
sheets, roof decks and panels. Each part can be custom-designed
and manufactured as per needs and specifications.
 Steel Roofs: In some parts of the world, metal roofs now
account for nearly 50% of all low-rise commercial, industrial
and institutional buildings erected during the last several years.
Today, in fact, metal roofs, if properly constructed, can lower
cooling loads and increase energy savings, hence they are being
chosen in many types of commercial constructions. They are the
best for electrical generation and are long lasting.
ARCHITECTURAL USES OF STEEL
 Steel Frames: They can offer durable and sustainable steel
solutions with cold-formed steel framing, wide flange
structural shapes and joists, and metal building systems.
 Structural Steel: Use of steel for structural beams and columns
not only adds durability, but is also cost-effective. Architects
and designers enjoy the flexibility, high strength, ease of
design, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal that it offers.

Structural elements of the steel
structure
 Sandai Medlatheque
 Location: Sendai, Japan

 Building Function: office

 Number of floors:7 floors

 A number of Czech steel columns and slabs: nuclei-shaped mesh columns

containing vertical transition elements. Metal grid columns carry metal
floor slabs which in turn connect these columns with each other.
 Construction Material: Steel
 Cladding: Glass and aluminum
 Nature of connectors: Screw connectors - welding joints
 Design aspects
 The bluding consists of seven floors raised 13 concerned
nucleus 4 of them on the corners to give the building the bladder
necessary, Czech columns in the form of a string to be used in
the development of elements of the vertical transition (drawers
+ elevators)
 design to give great transparency between the interior space and
Exterior space The designer relied on minimizing the thickness
of the tiles to make the building more slender and transparent
and perhaps that reduced its resistance to earthquakes
 . Highlight the aesthetic construction of metal age through the
use of structural elements phenomenon and prominent.
 .Environmental properties
 Put sunbreaks on the south facade to control the sun hours
 . Nature ventilation where air is drawn from the last surface to
the lower floors through the grid columns
