Prefabricated steel buildings- variations and applications
Steel buildings are nowadays the most preferred solution for every type of applications such as airplane hangars and yard sheds. These buildings are affordable and require less maintenance. In market, there are prefabricated steel buildings available today. The word prefabricated is related to a different set of construction techniques in which the components of the buildings are already engineered in a controlled factory environment and brought to the construction site to assemble. Compared to standard construction, this kind of construction ensures speedy completion of project, high standard of procedures and superior quality.
There are different types of steel buildings available in the market. The hut type prefabricated building is famous among the general public. In the industrial setup, these structures are known as the arch style building. Straight wall buildings are the opponent structures of arch metal buildings. Metal buildings are also classified into two major groups on the basis of their spans: clear span and multiple spans. The major difference between these two types of prefabricated steel buildings is the interior supports, which the clear span structures lack.
It shall be noted that within the prefabricated metal buildings industry, the straight and arch wall classifies the external structure of the building, whereas the clear and multiple span categorize the internal structure of a steel building. A clear span structure uses support beams overhead, spanning the dimension of the structure, and ultimately reducing the number of support columns needed. This technique makes the building much more economical if it is small building.
Straight Wall buildings have a lot of confined associated usable area in comparison to an Arch prefab with a similar size footprint. In addition, straight wall buildings are easier to connect to an extended partition compared to those of arch structures.
