The components of the member used in a steel frame structure are lighter and stronger than concrete products. The weight of a member of a steel structure is 30% lighter than the equivalent of forged wood.
The use of members of steel frame structures has higher tensile strength than wood, bamboo, or concrete products.
The members of the steel frame structure are ready. The steel member is lighter than the concrete member. As a result, the work is faster and less expensive.
The members used in the steel frame structure are highly resistant to fire. Because the steel components are made of alloy metal.
Special flame retardant coatings are applied over the steel frames to resist the fire of structural steel. So that its fire resistance can be increased.
The steel frame structure is useful for building a parking garage. The low weight of the structure makes it easy to construct these structures.
Steel has high strength, durability, and tensile strength. Such qualities in steel make it a viable option for engineers, designers, and fabricators to build monumental bridges which can last longer.
Buckling is a defect occurring in steel structures. As the length of the parts of the steel member increases, the probability of buckling increases.
Steel is produced only at steel plants, and transportation over long distances to the construction site becomes expensive.
Parts of the steel structure have to be inspected periodically. Corrosion makes painting expensive.
Despite the flexible material of its member in the steel frame structure, if one or more of its components do not fit properly into the structure. So improving the whole structure is challenging. Because the parts of the steel frame structure are strong and durable, no one will be able to repair it. Or it cannot be given any ideal shape.
The frame is usually covered in the form of fire-resistant structures such as masonry and concrete to protect it from fire. Because steel is prone to crack at high temperatures, this can lead to cracks in the building. In addition, there is a risk of collapse.
