Steel structure is a construction structure form that uses steel as its main structural material. Steel has high strength and light weight, with excellent plasticity, toughness, and weldability. Steel structures are mainly composed of steel beams, steel columns, and steel frames. Design needs to consider factors such as load, stability, and connection methods. During construction, attention should be paid to material selection, manufacturing processes, and corrosion protection. Steel structures are widely used in bridges, buildings, and towers. It has the advantages of fast construction speed, environmental protection and sustainability, and easy maintenance. However, the cost is higher, and fire performance needs special attention. In short, the design and construction of steel structures need to comprehensively consider various factors to ensure structural safety and economic rationality.
