LSF stands for Lightweight Steel Frame, which is one of the types of building structures. This is a prefabricated building structure that is made in the factory and sent to the installation site; Then, based on the pre-specified map, these components are connected together.
In this model of building structures, steel sheets with low thickness and galvanized coating are used, which are resistant to earthquakes and on the other hand They are also part of the types of light structures. Bolts and welding are used to connect these steel structures, and the walls can be filled with different materials as desired. Panel models are also types of light construction structures, which we will discuss further.
LSF structure is made of various components such as: cold rolled steel sheets, gypsum board plates as inner covering and heat and sound insulation layer. Composed.
LSF
To implement this structure, the foundation is implemented; (As we said, the structure that is built to bear the structural loads and distribute the loads on the ground is called a foundation.) Then the walls are installed and then the roof is executed and the internal and external coverings are done with different materials. Electrical and mechanical facilities are implemented after the implementation of the covers, and finally the doors and windows are installed.
The benefits of the LSF system
LSF structure has many potential advantages which include:
- Very low weight
- Simple installation and implementation and As a result of reducing labor cost and downtime
- high and uniform quality in all structures
- high resistance and hardness
- possibility of implementing and installing the structure in all water conditions and air
- high resistance against heat, fire, chemical corrosion and weathering, earthquake and...
- very long life
- ability to recycle materials in full and need Very little to other non-recyclable materials
Of course, this structure has disadvantages, such as the need for expert staff for implementation and limitations in the number of floors.
