The Importance Of Steel Beams In The Construction Industry

February 08, 2022

Steel has been one of the most important construction materials since the industrial revolution. Steel beams are used for building everything from bridges and skyscrapers to auditoriums and airports. Modern-day engineers and architects rely on steel for constructing complex projects worldwide.

 

The longevity that steel pillars offer makes them ideal for use in the construction of big and complex projects. Durability, ductility, and strength are features that make steel a favourite construction material.

Advantages of using steel beams for construction

  • Easy transportation: Pre-engineered steel beams can be transported from the manufacturing facility to the construction site easily.
  • Easy assembly: Steel pillars can be easily assembled with the help of cranes as they are relatively lightweight as compared to concrete.
  • Corrosion and rust-resistant: This feature ensures longevity and the highest safety standard.
  • Eco-friendly: Structural steel is one of the most eco-friendly construction materials as it can be almost completely recycled.

Apart from the above-mentioned benefits, the ability of steel beams to deal with seismic events is also unmatched. Structural steel is used by engineers in earthquake-prone regions to ensure safety and structural integrity.

However, structural steel is beneficial to engineers only when they are of authentic quality. To ensure that the steel used for construction is not of spurious quality, it is imperative to source it from dependable steel fabricators like Structural Steel Fabricators.
