1. What are steel structures
• In steel structures, structural steel is the main
load carrying material to transfer the load within
them and to transfer load to the ground
• Ex: - I-Beam, Tee section, [ - Channel section,
Steel plate etc..,
• Steel concrete composite structures are also used
in high-rise buildings but we are only going to
study about steel structures in this paper
