Steel Homes Gaining Acceptance

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Steel homes are by and by making their presence felt in the burgeoning construction industry around the world. Investment in steel homes is on and all time high in the present scenario, as increasing number of people round the globe are preferring steel buildings over conventional building structures.

Modular steel homes are a class apart from the regular brick, stone or wooden houses that had been reigning the residential circuit by now. Steel homes are the latest talk of the town!

Steel homes – What sets them apart?

A number of structural nitty-gritties and other factors can be attributed to the stupendous success  of steel homes. The most prominent ones include strength, durability, non-combustibility, resistance to adverse climatic conditions, longevity, quick construction span, affordability, cost-effectiveness, easy and cheap maintenance, and recyclability.

It is on account of these reasons that steel homes are coming up at par with other steel building structures at the construction scene. Seeing the growing concentration of steel buildings at such an increasing pace, we can certainly vouch for a safe and secure future with steel building structures.

Design Steel Buildings to Combat Fires

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Steel buildings are usually considered resistant to fire and fire accidents. Though, it may not be the case, all the time! Despite being a non-combustible material, steel has a high heat conducting value that contrarily affects its performance during exposure to fire. In order to solve this problem, prefabricated steel buildings need to be designed with a requisite amount of expertise and experience. It is precisely for this reason that the materials used in the construction of these steel buildings must possess certified and tested values for fire ratings, which tend to affect their performance and efficiency during a fire encounter.

Steel storage buildings are often subjected to fire accidents, due to the presence of hazardous chemical substances. During a fire exposure, the temperature levels go up at an alarming pace. The higher temperature levels adversely affect the efficiency of steel building structures. They usually lose their strength and stiffness at such high levels. Steel has a high very high thermal conductivity. Thus, the heat tends to spread through the entire steel structure through conduction, convection or radiation modes.

Steel Buildings Fire Designs – Important guidelines

To increase the resistance of the prefabricated steel buildings against fire exposures, a few pointers need to be taken into consideration. A thorough knowledge and expertise of fire rating values of steel structures should be taken into account during the designing stage.

Proper ventilation must be ensured in the steel building structures to evade such encounters. A sound ventilation process also helps in evacuating the heat and gases, in case of a serious fire accident. In addition to this, sound arrangements must be made for easy availability of water and fire extinguishers in case of a mishap. Besides, a proper fire engineering design can also assist a great deal in preventing the fire spread.

These are a few guidelines which if kept in mind, can serve a long way in protecting prefabricated steel buildings against the risks of fire exposures.
