What is the structure of LSF? LSF are actually prefabricated or modular systems made of thin wall steel sections (LGS). These steel sections are actually thin steel sheets with galvanized coatings. These sheets are rolled using special machines and roll making method and are produced as light profiles in different dimensions. These prefab steel structures are mainly executed dry and using complex connections.

How to build LSF structures (LSF)
Foundation and foundation
To install the walls, a foundation with a depth of approximately 50 cm is implemented. After finishing the foundation process, the anchor bolts are placed inside the foundation at predetermined distances so that the walls can be stabilized using them.
Installation of walls
After the implementation of the foundation, it is time to install the walls. As mentioned above, anchor bolts are used to install the walls and keep them stable, which were placed inside the foundation. The walls in these light structures are responsible for bearing the lateral and gravity loads.
The load-bearing walls are installed using some kind of temporary restraints in the designated place. In LSF buildings, lateral load-bearing openings or load-bearing walls are used for the lateral load-bearing of the structure. At this stage, the anchor rods installed in the foundation are connected to the load-bearing walls. The installation of non-load-bearing walls, which will not affect the structure, is mainly done after installation.
Running the ceiling
In the implementation of the roof in LSF structures, they usually follow different methods and styles. Roof trusses and flat beam system are the most used methods of roof implementation. Roof covering is mainly done in dry form or in situ concrete. The construction of these structures mainly consists of cold-rolled metal beams, the distance of which is determined according to the bearing capacity of the member and the dimensions of the roof covering parts.
Interior and exterior coatings
Implementation of electrical and mechanical installations
Mechanical facilities used in LSF structures include piping and air conditioning system. The piping of these structures mainly uses super pipe and compressed PVC pipes, which have much higher resistance and flexibility than metal and cast iron pipes. The installation and implementation of the ventilation system is also done based on the opinion and taste of the employer.
Electrical facilities also include wiring, all kinds of switches and sockets, electrical panels and telephone and TV lines. The implementation and installation of electrical facilities in these types of structures is done easily as much as possible due to their pre-fabrication and the presence of empty space between the walls.
