blog 16 - Steel Erection & Hybrid Construction

Steel Erection

Steel erection is often the skeletal core of the building, bridges, commercial, retail and industrial structures. Or installing and fixing together the steel girders, pipework and beams that make up the skeleton of buildings and structures.  

Erection technique

-   Mobile crane

- Tower crane

Issues of Erection

- One-Bolt Connections

- Columns or Bents Tied Together With Non-Bolted Steel Joists

- Steel Joists Without Bolted Bridging

- Columns or Bents Tied in With Timber

- Steel Columns or Partial Bents Not Tied In

- Non-Self-Supporting Steel Frames

- Column Splices Too Low or Too High Above Floor 20

- Columns Interrupted by Beams

- Columns Offset From Beam Framing

- Revisions and Alternates Not Flagged on Drawings

- Double-FramedBeam Connections to Girder

- Double-FramedBeam Connections to Column Web

 Hybrid Construction

 Hybrid construction is the combination of different materials or techniques to design a range of building types. combination of wood, concrete and steel to provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution to building structures as well as help to improve building performance and design

Advantages of hybrid buildings

Functionality with Versatility

Efficiency with Durability

Reduced Maintenance

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Mobility and user satisfaction

Steel Erection, Fabrication and Hybrid construction -Blog 16

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

  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                       ...
