Our Projects to be Delivered Using Structural Steel
The industrialization steps of the world countries have gained rapid acceleration since the discovery of steel. The preference of steel as a material is based on the following properties:
Sensitivity to heat treatment,
Easy to take shape,
It can be coated with metal, plastic, enamel and paint.
Easily machinable steel has been the leading actor in many industries. These include the automotive, defense, white goods industry, architecture and construction industry.
The use of steel in architecture and buildings dates from the 18th to the 19th century. The second half of the 1800s are the years when steel (ie structural steel) that can be used in buildings emerged. Structural steel has also been used in large bridges, stations and skyscrapers. These structures in Europe and America are still standing. In our country, structural steel is used in railway construction, penstock pipes, dam covers and industrial structures. The structural steel production technology of our country is equivalent to EU standards and constantly renews itself.
According to 1998 data;
England - Germany - France = 50% - 70%
Italy - Austria - Spain = 30% - 40%
Turkey = 5% of structural steel is used (according to the annual production capacity).
The only reason why the share in structural steel is so low in our country is that the preferred building technology is a building culture based on concrete. The "traditional approach" has a significant contribution to the effectiveness of this culture.
The cost of reinforced concrete construction buildings; steel construction is 30% cheaper than the cost of the building. However, if the cost calculation is made on total cost instead of m2 unit price, steel is 5% - 10% cheaper. It should not be forgotten that; Iron, one of the materials used in creating reinforced concrete structures, is an element that steel contains. Therefore, steel is an element that is not directly used in reinforced concrete structure.
Usage Advantages of Structural Steel
Architectural originality
Aesthetic
Lightness
Suitable for multi-storey building construction
Earthquake resistance
Prefabrication
Easy control
Fast structure production
Change
Easy to transport
100% recyclable material
It can be listed as a strengthening effect.
In the context of these advantages, "why steel structure?" When we question, the following answers will guide us. Structural steel is not brittle but ductile, it is possible to make smaller foundations and excavations because it does not have to use formwork and scaffolding, it is suitable for reusability, and it can create wider areas of use to evaluate even the worst soils. In addition, it is preferred in order to reduce the number of columns, because it can be economical rather than cheap, because it can be easily inspected during construction, because it can minimize operating expenses, not to pollute the environment, to ensure the continuity of forests and because it can withstand earthquakes.
The fact that structural steel is not preferred in building construction as a country with 92% of its area in an earthquake zone and 95% living in these regions indicates that this product is due to incomplete and misrepresentation.
It is inevitable for the state to play an active role in popularizing the use of structural steel in our country. 70% of structural steel is used even in a country that is far from earthquake, such as England. The only thing we lack in using this technology is the lack of expert staff.
