Rise Of Steel

This is my first blog and the first class for steel architecture and design . After a long holiday we were back to college but this time it was different because it was a virtual class room.It was so different and fun to see your friends after a long time.The online class is fun and sometimes its boring because we have to sit in front of the laptop for a long time,so lets come to the main story.The first class in steel architecture and design. I was late to the class because i did not get the invite link to join the class.After few minutes i joined the class. when i joined the class Aathirai ma'am asked me few questions like why i wanted to choose steel architecture and design. I replied to ma'am that steel architecture and design is interesting to learn about steel design and know more about steel,ma'am asked akshay to explain me about the basics of steel and its history because i was late to the class.He told me about the three age system and in between ma'am asked veronic to explain the next topic, so we learned about the three age system.The three systems are {stone age,bronze age,iron age}it was very interesting to learn about the steel,and next ma'am explained the different types of metal so i started to take notes. The different types of metals are {ferrous and non ferrous} ferrous metals have iron content and  non ferrous metals do not have iron content and ma'am said few examples about ferrous and non ferrous metals {ferrous metal:steel cast iron} and {non ferrous metal:copper,zinc,lead} and next ma'am posted some question and answer and asked us to answer .she picked us randomly  and asked us to answer .The questions were rolling,extruding,drawing,forging and casting and everyone answered the questions.And the class got over and ma'am started to explain about the blog and spinner game.And the first class of steel architecture and design got over it was very fun and interesting                                                                                                                                                               -By Kishore.G

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                       ...
