Steel and Concrete Frame For multi-story Buildings

Steel is taken into account because the most preferred material for all infrastructure projects including high rise building construction used for billboard building, Multi-story buildings, hotels, hospitals, schools & colleges, mall, multiplexes, retails, multilevel car parking system, and lots of other multipurpose buildings, etc. thanks to its versatile quality and adaptability to shape. a mixture of Steel frame and Concrete frame gives immense benefit to the planning for its strength, durability, and overall cost.

Steel framing construction is quite 40 years old concept globally and European and American cities are made majorly in steel construction since 1970. Maybe thanks to the labor crisis and powerful economy, affordability of steel construction were quite easy for them and it gave them ease to grow this technology globally. India may be a developing country and being expensive materials like steel and a simple cheaper labor pool, there has been resistance to use steel framing technology for multi-story construction in past.

Over a period of your time especially during a busy city and metro cities, it's been experienced that concrete construction is next to impossible for various reasons. To be specific difficulties in working during a busy area, storage issue, labor crisis, shortage of skilled manpower in concrete work, time limitation/delay, inconvenience to neighborhood and commuters are the key concern which ends up in project overrun on time also as cost. it's been increasing day by day and has become so difficult to think in RCC.

A previous couple of years are witness that each one investor, users, builders & developers are trying to find alternative material for construction and steel has been found subsequent cheaper material to satisfy the expectation over RCC.

 

Usage of steel for better infrastructure Multi-storey construction has some individual advantages like:

High strength to volume/mass ratio.

Speed in construction and time-saving as compared to RCC, leading to early ROI & cost saving.

Steel frames are lighter in weight as compared to RCC frame.

Lighter foundations are required for steel buildings thanks to less weight than RCC leading to cost advantage on civil.

Utilizes less space and maybe created for more extensive span/column-free spaces, resulting from greater coverage, this helps in wide-open office space and enormous auditorium and concerts hall.

Less beam depth leading to less wastage of headroom

Ease of interface for all kinds of fabric e.g. glass, ACP, Concrete, brick, plasterboard, or the other clad material.

Possibility of various paints to satisfy fire safety guidelines.

All utilities are often skilled beams and joists.

Possibility of expansion with the smallest amount of difficulties as compared to RCC & easy to switch if necessary.

Steel frame construction is more suitable to face up to lateral loads caused by wind or seismic.

In steel construction, steel x-bracing or shear wall systems are often provided for greater lateral rigidity so as to face up to wind stress.

Steel is green in nature and may be recycled up to 95 %

Quality of the top product is un-match as manufacturing takes place within the plant under a controlled environment with stringent quality checks.

Csmanltd offers a turnkey solution from concept to commissioning as one window for offering an answer for an entire steel framing system for various applications. we offer:

Understanding of the need, functional need, services, architectures, fire, dry-wet system, ventilation, façade, etc. complete altogether respect before initiating the activities

Modeling and Design of complete steel framing as a composite steel construction design.

Adequate design of all connections to make erection easiness.

Interchangeability of the members to make easiness for erection further.

Advance planning for map layout and every one necessary cutouts etc. are planned and made beforehand.

All necessary loads for various concerns like lift, air-conditioning, any superimposed load, wet area, partitions, etc. are properly planned.

Providing fire coating on steel structure for by-lays requirement and safety to life.

Cladding and façade solution to the building.

Our objective is to optimize the steel design while meeting the functional and stability requirement completely altogether respect.
