What is the building?
The building is the most important part in every country and city, the types of buildings according to its type of use, which can include residential, office, commercial, etc. Each building has a different type of skeleton based on various materials in the construction market, which can be metal, concrete, etc. Building, a type of roofed structure consisting of substructure, sub-column, wall, floor, roof, plumbing and utility services and anything else connected to it or any enclosed wall that separates a floor or space from a similar structure. It is designed and made with special materials.
Types of Buildings in the Construction Industry
Concrete buildings
As the name suggests, concrete is used in the skeleton of concrete buildings, which is usually reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete. What is concrete in the article? We have mentioned the types of concrete and for each concrete we have mentioned a brief explanation for familiarization, and an explanation has been given about reinforced concrete. In concrete buildings, the roofs are made of concrete slabs or concrete slabs or block beam roofs or other prefabricated roofs. It's not like you think that all columns and walls in this type of building should be concrete; Rather, the walls can be made of other materials such as brick, wood, or any other material. Concrete buildings have high strength against natural disasters.
advantages of concrete buildings
Higher resistance
High plasticity
Fire resistant
Less cost

metal buildings In this case, steel profiles are used for building columns and bridges. In our dear country, Iran, double I iron beams or single wide wings (H irons) are usually used to make these columns. Corner-belts are used for the connections of this type of building, and steel plates (base plates) are used for the columns. Any light material can be used for the roof of this type of structure. In this type of building, metal windbreaks are used to deal with earthquakes. Advantages of metal buildings High resistance Balanced resistance of materials Having elastic properties Coefficient of seismic force Easy malleability
masonry buildings
Masonry buildings are buildings whose materials are made of bricks, cement blocks or stones, and in which all or part of the vertical loads are supported by walls with masonry materials.
This type of building can be used for small buildings that have 2 floors and their maximum height is 8 meters. The main skeleton of this type of building is brick. Also, in brick buildings, load-bearing walls are usually placed on top of each other on different floors, and most of the partitions are made of load-bearing walls.
Wooden buildings
Almost everyone is interested in a wooden cabin in the forest, which in addition to beauty, also gives a sense of peace. This type of building is often used in the northern parts of Iran, and as we said, the wooden huts of northern Iran show its beauty. Currently, wood is used much less than other materials and is made less due to the lack of resources.
