How To Distinguish Light Steel And Heavy Steel Structures

How To Distinguish Light Steel And Heavy Steel Structures

1. The lifting weight of the workshop is greater than or equal to 25 tons, which can be considered as a heavy steel structure

2. The amount of steel used per square meter is greater than or equal to 50 kilograms per square meter, which can be considered as a heavy steel structure

3. The thickness of the steel plate of the main components is greater than or equal to 10 mm, and the light steel structure is less used

4. There are also some reference values, such as cost per square meter, maximum component weight, maximum span, structural form, eaves height

The above can provide empirical data on whether the half-section workshop is made of heavy steel or light steel. Of course, many buildings have light and heavy steel. The distinction between light steel and heavy steel is no longer the weight of the structure itself, but the weight of the envelope material it bears, and the structural design concept is still the same.
