The difference between heavy steel structure and light steel structure

 In a sense, steel structure can also be divided into two categories, one is light steel structure, the other is heavy steel structure. And they come from many sources, but how exactly do they differ in detail and architectural use? Come here. I'll show you.

First, light steel, for steel structure, light steel is not strictly defined, because its main building structure can be said to be composed of a combination of a variety of structures, such as cold-formed thin-wall steel, hot-rolled thin-wall steel, welded and high-frequency welded cold-rolled thin-wall steel structure and so on.

The second is heavy steel, the definition of Pusteel is also the same, there is no unified standard to measure the difference, can only say that many experienced designers or projects are not clear, but from some data reference can be seen that the difference is very big, such as in the steel structure of the plant, if the weight of more than 25 tons, then it is heavy steel. In addition, in the use area, the weight of each M2 is greater than or equal to 50 kilograms, that is, the heavy steel structure and the steel plate thickness of more than 10MM.

But these are only suggested references, others of course there are more, for example, in the design of the structure used in the weight of the components and the familiarity of the span, you can distinguish between the two cases. However, in many prefabricated buildings, this light steel and heavy steel can adjust each other in size and thickness during use due to material problems. But as far as architecture is concerned, factories, landmark museums and tall buildings all belong to Heavy Steel.

And for the two just now, in the production of the same as the previous equipment, there must be different equipment to complete the output, there are different workers to complete the processing process, steel structure engineering through the combination of vertical, welded, orthotic to complete the processing of shaped steel. But today's technology is a breakthrough. Research and development in addition to the steel structure "shape steel assembly welding straightening machine", "plane drilling machine", "cantilever electroslag welding" and other functions of functional steel structure production equipment manufacturing. This technology not only makes light steel heavy steel can use a machine alone, but also through advanced professional equipment in each step to complete the required equipment parameter setting, complete the output, this technology is also applicable to steel structure, whether it is heavy steel or light steel, are good examples, do not need developers to save costs for light steel heavy steel, more do not need steel structure for the two kinds of steel to reduce the burden.

It can be seen that there is a big difference between light steel and heavy steel, or very small, but no matter what the difference, this is the direction and direction of the future development of steel structure.
