What Are the Four Types of Steel Structures?

01-05-2025

Prefabricated steel workshop has the advantages of high strength, light weight, short construction period, and green environmental protection. According to different design requirements and usage scenarios, steel structures can be subdivided into different types. Among them, portal steel structure, frame steel structure, grid structure and cable membrane structure are widely used in industrial, commercial, civil and public buildings.


Portal steel structure is the representative of light steel structure. The steel structure workshop we produce is mainly composed of steel columns and steel beams connected by rigid nodes to form a portal frame system. The roof and wall of prefabricated steel workshop are also often used in combination with lightweight corrugated steel plates or composite plates. Therefore, prefab metal shop buildings have simple structures, light weight, and high degree of industrialization. They are widely used in single-story industrial plants, warehouses, logistics centers, small exhibition halls and supermarkets. Our prefabricated steel structure frame workshop uses a reasonable amount of steel, has a high material utilization rate, and has a low overall cost, which can reduce the project investment cost. In addition, the construction period of prefabricated steel workshop is short and can be put into use quickly.

The frame steel structure of prefabricated steel workshop bears all the loads of the building through a rigidly connected beam-column system, and enhances the lateral force resistance performance through a reasonable setting of the support system. According to the specific structural arrangement of steel structure workshop, the frame steel structure can be subdivided into pure frame, central support frame, eccentric support frame and frame-tube structure, etc., and is widely used. Our steel structure workshop adopts a reasonably designed frame system to effectively resist horizontal loads, especially eccentric support and frame-tube structure, which can improve seismic performance. Whether it is a super high-rise office building, a five-star hotel, or a hospital, school, or residence, steel structure workshop can flexibly respond to different loads and functional requirements.


The grid structure uses rods to connect each other to form triangular units, forming a double-layer or multi-layer spatial grid structure, which can achieve a large span under a small self-weight. Prefab metal shop buildings are commonly found in large public buildings such as airport terminals, gymnasiums, exhibition centers, theaters, etc. Our prefab metal shop buildings have large column-free spaces, which can enhance the overall beauty and comfort of the building. And prefab metal shop buildings have reasonable force and stable structure. The prefabricated steel structure frame workshop we produce is suitable for projects that require extra-large column-free spaces and have high requirements for the appearance of the building.


Steel Structure workshop


The cable-membrane structure is a representative of flexible structures. It uses steel cables and high-performance membrane materials to form a force-bearing system, and forms a unique and stable shape through tensioning. It is widely used in stadium canopies, exhibition tents, transportation hub awnings and large-scale landscape projects. Our prefabricated steel workshop has an ultra-light weight, which can reduce the basic investment. In addition, the membrane material of the steel structure workshop can transmit a large amount of natural light, reduce the energy consumption of daytime lighting, and can be disassembled and reused later to meet temporary and permanent needs.
