How to Ensure the Quality and Safety of Steel Structure Buildings?

In real life, there are indeed many safety accidents in steel structure buildings: collapse, fire, leaking, etc. In fact, these accidents can be avoided. Steel structure cannot be denied because of accidents in steel structure buildings. In fact, if concrete buildings cut corners and have design defects, various construction accidents will occur. They are also very common in real life: many unfinished buildings in various places are mostly stopped because of substandard construction quality; a building with more than 20 floors in a community has a load-bearing wall smashed due to renovation on the first floor, and the entire building has become a dangerous building, and no one dares to live in it; concrete buildings collapsed in earthquakes are even more common. . .

Building safety is no small matter. Whether it is a steel structure building or a concrete building, the primary responsibility is to ensure the quality and safety of the building. The reason why steel structure has become a common material for construction has its advantages. As long as it is reasonably and legally constructed, it is completely possible to ensure the safety of the building. There are mainly the following reasons why some safety accidents occur in steel structure buildings:

The design of steel structure buildings is unreasonable.

Steel structure can be designed into many shapes and styles. Compared with concrete buildings, this is also the advantage and feature of steel structure buildings. However, if there are defects in the design, it will lead to uneven force on the steel components, so that after a long time, the components will deform or even break, and there will be safety problems. Or if the local climate is not taken into account, the unreasonable design of wind and snow loads may cause collapse. Failure to consider fire and waterproofing will cause safety hazards. Therefore, the design of steel structure buildings is the primary issue, and you must find a professional design institute for steel structure design. The design should follow the principle of simple design and optimized structure as much as possible.

The design cannot blindly reduce the amount of steel used.

The amount of steel used is an important factor in determining the price, so many owners blindly require a reduction in the amount of steel used in order to reduce the budget, which is actually not advisable. The same building has different designs and different steel usage, but they all meet national safety standards, and the difference is not great. After reasonable optimization of the design, the amount of steel used can be relatively reduced. However, if the safety standards are exceeded and the amount of steel used is reduced, it is easy to cause safety hazards and reduce the service life.

Construction quality and installation issues.

Most steel components are processed in the factory and transported to the site for installation. If problems are not solved during processing or quality inspection is not carried out when leaving the factory, unqualified components will be installed. Or the wrong installation of components, unreasonable installation, loose bolt connection, etc. during installation will cause safety hazards. Therefore, steel structure buildings should find experienced and professional steel structure companies for processing and production to ensure quality and safety; find experienced and reputable installation teams locally for installation, and solve problems in time, which can largely avoid safety hazards.

No maintenance or private modification in the later stage.

Steel structure buildings need regular inspection and maintenance to ensure that problems are discovered and solved in time, which can avoid safety problems and extend service life. If they are not inspected and maintained, corrosion or deformation problems will be difficult to find. Once corrosion problems occur in steel structure buildings and are not handled in time, they will soon rust. Some owners privately carry out modifications and remove important components such as columns or beams, which can easily cause collapse. If you want to modify, you must contact the original construction company to confirm whether reasonable modifications can be made.

If the above problems are paid attention to during construction, the safety of steel structure buildings will not be a problem, and safety accidents will not occur so easily.
