Structural steel frames form the core of skyscrapers, warehouses, bridges, and industrial plants due to unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and design flexibility. Prefabricated components ensure fast, precision assembly on-site, significantly reducing project timelines. Steel allows vast, column-free spans ideal for open spaces. Sustainability is key: steel is 100% recyclable without quality loss. Fabrication involves cutting, drilling, welding to exact specifications (controlled by ISO 3834 standards). Design integrates load calculations (ASCE 7, Eurocodes), connection detailing, and corrosion protection (galvanizing, painting) for decades-long durability across diverse environments.
