THE GALVANIZED STEEL FRAME In
prefab technology structural
members are manufactured by cold forming the galvanized steel. Structural elements that are manufactured under control and supervision by modern machines are brought to the construction site and assembled. For this reason human errors are minimized in light-gauge steel buildings. Additionally, as on site manufacturing is reduced to minimum, errors and damages commonly seen at the construction site are dealt with. Even because of only these characteristics light-gauge steel building systems are far better than conventional reinforced concrete buildings.
Buildings constructed with Light-gauge Steel Building System weight less than the reinforced buildings in the same size, therefore the load affecting the building in the earthquake is less which increases the system’s earthquake resistance. Because the load bearing capacity / weight ratio of the light-gauge steel systems is quite high.
Also plastic deformation behaviours of these buildings are more efficient than reinforced concrete buildings; therefore no sudden collapses occur in an earthquake which enables the building to remain standing safely after the earthquake.
Construction phases of steel buildings resemble the phases of conventional reinforced concrete buildings. The building is designed, architectural and static projects are prepared. Then the steel frame construction starts. The production takes place in the factory flawlessly. Floor, wall, roof, etc components of the building are manufactured as galvanized steel profiles in appropriate sizes. These profiles are sent to the construction site without loss, either as profiles or as panelized parts, considering the distance of the construction site and the transportation conditions. Profiles are assembled by expert assembling teams at the construction site in line with the architectural plan. Only special studs are used during the assembly, no welding is done. When the assembly is done, the frame is filled with insulation materials (fiberglass, rock wool, etc.). Walls are covered with OSB (Oriented Standard Board) or similar materials.
Taking the speed of construction and credit facility potential into consideration, Light-gauge Steel Building System is very advantageous in terms of costs. The primary factor increasing the costs in a construction project is the time. Reinforced concrete buildings take longer time to be completed. As light-gauge steel buildings can be completed in a very short period of time and errors caused by craftsmanship are minimized, they are more cost efficient in terms of money and time.
It is possible to manufacture any type of design with the Light-gauge Steel Building System. Either modern or traditional, all dwellings can be constructed elegantly with this system. Local features and preferences can easily be reflected on these buildings. Dwellings can be designed as detached, semi-detached or terraced houses. Light-gauge Steel Building System can also be very successfully implemented on other building types. Social buildings such as schools, hospitals, dormitories, nurseries, malls and marketplaces are commonly constructed public projects. As life safety is the basis of the Light-gauge Steel Building System, typical ceiling height is 3.00 m. However it is possible to make it longer by using conventional rolled steel components. 4 storey buildings constructed with Light-gauge Steel Building System are important as they meet the needs of our people in addition to being safe in terms of earthquakes. More and more beautiful and classy garden villas constructed with a fast and economic technology are offered to public.
The construction speed of a building may vary depending on the size, shape, whether it has a basement floor or not, location, and that region’s climate and topography. These parameters, without doubt, are also valid for low-rise reinforced concrete buildings.
However, when Light-gauge Steel Buildings System is compared to reinforced concrete system, it is obvious that steel building system is built quicker and even without causing any environment and noise pollution as they come out of the factory faultlessly.
