Types
MS Angles:-
● A MS angle or mild steel angle is a L-shaped cross-section used in the
construction of buildings and structures.
● The sides are either equal or of different sizes, if one leg is longer than the
other then it is known as UNEQUAL angle.
● Specifications: 25x25x3/5/6mm- 200x200x12/16/20mm.
MS Channel:-
● A channel is a right angle “C” section. They are also called C Channels.

H Beam:-
● H beam is a structural beam made of rolled steel. It is incredibly strong.
● H-beam has wider flanges than I-beam, but I-beam has tapered edges.
● The H beam tends to be heavier than the I beam, which is why some say it is better
than the I beam.
● Specifications : 150mm – 300mm
MS Flats:-
● Flat bars may be considered the most basic of steel structures.
● Its applications range from construction to machine fabrication.
● These flats are rolled in low temperature which imparts higher strength to the
structures.

● Square: 6mm – 63mm
● Hexagon: 12mm – 40mm
Application / Uses
High-Rise Buildings - Structural steel can incredibly resist wind, earthquakes, or other natural disasters because of
its strength and flexibility.
Industrial Buildings - Structured steel is designed to have a high strength-to-weight ratio and is highly durable.
They are also cost-effective, and the pre-made parts are easily assembled.
Residential Buildings - the flexibility in the structured steel makes them the best material for residential buildings
situated near the coast or earthquake faults.
Commercial towers and Public Building- Depending on the design of the building, the panels can be altered to fit
various size requirements. Its versatility allows for more expansion compared to traditionally constructed buildings.
Port Structures and Marine Works - Steel is suitable for port infrastructure and marine structures especially in high
design loads however it may corrode when exposed to oxygen and salt water. But it can be minimized so long as
there is a planned maintenance system.

connections/ joinery detail : introduction : weld : bolt : riveting : gazette plate
Connections are structural elements that are used for joining different members of the structural steel framework.
The steel structure is the assembly of different members like beams, columns.
These various steel members are interconnected using Rivets, Bolts, and Welding. This is known as a connection.

2.Load transfer during rivet joints makes the metal plates attached to it more vulnerable to bending. Hence, rivet joints are
exible that are not preferred. Whereas, the welded joints are rigid and these joints don’t bend much compared to rivet joints.
3.Tubular sections are connected economically and more strongly with welded joints.
4.Whenever repairing is to be done, the alteration expense is more in rivet joints, whereas, in welded joints, the cost is very
ess.
7.Details of drawing in case of rivet joints are difficult to understand compared to welding.
8.A proper welded joint has an efficiency of 100% which is unachievable in rivet joints.
9.In welding, excessive heat may cause disruption in plates, while in rivet joints such a case does not arise.
10.More skill is required for welding, whereas riveting does not require any skill.
11.Inspection of the welded joint is difficult while the rivet joint can be inspected easily and, in some cases, loose connections
an be repaired by tapping a hammer on it.
The two types of bolts commonly used in steel construction include high strength structural steel, and A307
bolts (common bolts). Structural steel bolts are subcategorised into A325 (Group A) and A490 (Group B)
and are high strength.
The two main types of bolted joints are tension joints and shear joints.

Process of Bolting in Steel Structure
1. The nominal length of the bolt used in the steel structure shall be the distance from the underside of the head to the further
end of the shank.
2. The nominal diameter of the bolt used in the steel structure shall be the diameter at the shank above the screwed threads,
bolts, nuts, and washers shall be thoroughly cleaned and dipped in double-boiled linseed oil, before use.
3. All bolt heads and nuts shall be hexagonal unless otherwise specified.
4. The bolts length shall be such that it must project at least two clear threads beyond the nuts when fixed in position, and these
shall fit in the holes without shaking.
5. Wherever necessary, washers shall be tapered to give the heads of nuts and bolts a satisfactory bearing.
6. The threaded portion of each bolt must project at least two threads through the nut.
7. In all cases where the full bearing of the bolt is to be achieved, the bolt must be provided with a washer of sufficient thickness
under the nuts to avoid any threaded portion of the bolt within the thickness of the parts bolted together.
8. Where there is a risk of the nuts being removed or becoming loose due to vibrations or reversal of stresses, these shall be
secured from slackening by the use of lock nuts, spring washers, as directed by the engineer.
Welded Connections
Welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are
fused together by means of heat, pressure or both forming a join as
the parts cool.
Variability exists with the quality of the weld being
made by the erector.
The most common types of welds include fillet,
groove, plug, and slot welds.
The parts that are joined are known as a parent material. The
material added to help form the join is called filler or consumable
Welds however shrink, and this effect needs to be advantage of being simple in

● It is hazardous when performed under the safety and security construction, automobile, and many
guidelines. more industries.
● Requires skilled labor and electric supply. ● The technique, when used with filler
material, produces a stronger weld than
the base material.
Types Of Welding
Various types of welding are –
● MIG Welding Metal Inert Gas.:uses bare wire and then the second one uses second flux core The bare wire welding is
used to connect thin metal plates together. The flux core welding is mostly used for outdoor activities as it does not
require any gas supply or flow meter.
● Stick Welding :old form of welding and it is also known as Arc welding.It uses electricity to melt the rod, which in turn
melts both the joint and the rod simultaneously. This leads to the fusion of the two metal plates and it also fuses the rod
to the weld. Equipment used for such types of welding are – A constant voltage (CV) power supply, rod holder, ground
clamp, stick welding rods.
● TIG Welding : TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas. For performing this, two hands are required. One hand holds the rod
while the other rod holds TIG torch. This torch produces an arc and heat that is used to melt the metal. It is mostly used
for metals like aluminium, steel, cobalt, etc.
● Gas Welding : This type of welding uses gases like oxygen and acetylene. These gases are very portable to carry. Fuel
gas and oxygen react with each other that in turn melts and joints the metal. It is great for brazing dissimilar metals
together.
Environment impact of steel building :
Steel production is highly polluting
Steel production requires large inputs of coke (a sort of coal) which is extremely damaging to the environment. Coke ovens emit air
pollution such as naphthalene that is highly toxic and can cause cancer.
Wastewater from the coking process is also highly toxic and contains a number of carcinogenic organic compounds as well as
cyanide, sulfides, ammonium and ammonia.
Steel reuse is any process where end-of-life steel is not re-melted but rather enters a new product use phase.Steel buildings and products are
intrinsically demountable. Easily re-usable components include:
