Structural Concept For Light Guage Steel Frame System Book

Steel is widely used in the construction of multi-storey buildings. However, steel

construction is seldom used and is traditionally considered uneconomical for landed properties In many parts of the world, timber or structural brickwork is preferred whereas in Singapore, reinforced concrete construction is usually preferred for landed properties. Over the years, various improved system have been developed for use in landed properties. An economical light gauge steel frame system is increasingly being used in America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. This light gauge steel frame is developed through a cold-formed process without the use of heat. This process enables steel manufacturers to produce light-weight but high tensile steel sheets. The sheet surface is coated with a zinc alloy that completely covers the steel surface and seals it from the corrosive action of its environment. This results in buildings that are more solid, rigid, stronger, durable and easier to build.you can download this light guage steel frame book on this link.
