What is a steel skeleton?
The structure of a building consisting of beams and columns is called a skeleton, which is responsible for maintaining the entire building. The skeleton neutralizes all the load entering the building, which is vertical and horizontal, and transfers it to the foundation of the building. The higher and wider the building, the stronger this frame should be. The skeleton of the building is made of metal and concrete.
⚫️ Steps to implement steel skeletons
⚫️ Base and foundation construction
⚫️ Construction of steel column
This stage is chosen due to the selection of the type of steel sections, IPE, IPB, can, stud rebar according to the load of the building. In column installation, the most important point is the connection between the foundation and the column and the gap between the two. According to the base and column connections, the steel plates (base plate) are welded to the end of the columns.
⚫️ Installation of metal beams
⚫️ Connect with screws
All the columns are already made in the workshop or factory and are taken to the construction site, and from there they are connected by bolts and nuts, that's why the metal frame with bolts and nuts is the best type of metal frame. The construction of this type of skeleton is faster than other types because only the required parts must be connected and because all parts are produced in the factory under standard conditions and control, they have high reliability. Unlike other structures, the bolted skeleton has no disadvantages, the only disadvantage that can be pointed out is that if the parts are not prepared correctly or if a problem occurs at the connection stage, it takes a long time to return them, and this issue affects the construction process. postpones This type of skeleton is used in the construction of skyscrapers, which must have high resistance and require high precision and high speed.
