BLOG 2 -STEEL ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

 HEYYY ALL!!!




I'm back again..so let's get into my second blog. I wasn't able to attend the class but I was able to get an idea about what was taught.


so basically this post is gonna be my interpretation from what I read and understood from other blogs.


Let's talk about the four terms;


ROCKS-  Made up of two or more minerals


MINERALS- composed of same substance throughout


ORE- A mineral occurring in sufficient quantity and containing enough metal to Permit its recovery and extraction at points.


METAL-  An alloy of two or more metallic elements.



Moving on to the manufacturing process,


The raw materials used are Iron ore, Coke (fuel ), Limestone. These raw materials are further processed to make steel. There are two methods of processing steel,


THE OXYGEN PROCESS - This process is done by inducing pressurized oxygen into the furnace, which contains pig iron. This process produces lot of heat.


THE ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE- This process is done using electric current where carbon electrodes are used to obtain steel. This method produces stainless steel. 


Now that the steel is produced, let's discuss about its properties


Plastic deformation and Elasticity

Ductility

Hardness

Tension


Before the steel is put in use , some tests are to be done,

ROCKWELL HARDNESS TEST - to ensure the hardness of the material

BRINNEL AND VICKER TEST 


okay, that's I have , to share.

Hoping to learn more in further classes.

until then, bye!

Steel Erection, Fabrication and Hybrid construction -Blog 16

Image
This blog is about how the steel sections are transported to the site, the issues involved with transportation, erection and fabrication along with the onsite constrains. TRANSPORTATION: The steel sections have to transported from the manufacturing site to the fabrication site and this becomes a tough task due to their size. Often large pieces cannot be transported in a single part, they are split or divided and shipped as two separate pieces or even as one piece to avoid damage or scratches. Temporary connections are made on the pieces to avoid damage and to keep the parts in place during transportation.     These parts are not transported in normal vehicles but require long trail vehicles to fit their length and size which again becomes a difficult task to turn around the corners of the road and at junctions     FABRICATION & ON SITE CONSTRAINS: Fabrication of steel on sites which are along the main road or at the corner site is very hectic as there is very...

BLOG-16 FABRICATION, ERECTION AND HYBRID STRUCTURES

Image
  FABRICATION: The process of  steel fabrication  involves grinding, welding, cutting, bending, drilling, punching, burning or melting and other general crafting methods using various high-quality tools and CNC equipment. ERECTION LIFTING, POSITIONING AND PLACING OF STEEL MEMBERS IN A STRUCTURE  Once the member(s) are lifted and placed in the required place, with the help of temporary supports and equipment, they are fastened and fixed, depending on the nature of connection.  Erections may be achieved by two techniques such as MEWP(Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) by Mobile crane and Tower cranes. HYBRID STRUCTURES Hybrid structures are structures built with composite materials a combination of different materials with steel. A common  hybrid system  consists of hollow core slabs together with steel or cast-in-situ concrete frames                       EXAMPLE STEEL WITH TIMBER     I...

BLOG- 8                                     STEEL , ALLOYS AND THEIR COMPARISON                                                               STEEL AND ALLOYS                                               An alloy is a blend consisting of metal and other elements. Alloys are generally made for achieving properties like greater strength or resistance to corrosion. Steel is an alloy of iron. It mainly consists of iron with some small amounts of carbon. Definition ALLOY :      A homogeneous mixture of a metal with other types of elements                       ...
