Steel construction
In India, steel construction is only favoured
for industrial buildings (factories /
workshops etc.) Why is it so?
Preformed segments are assembled at the
construction site
Most critical factor connections!
Welds, rivets, bolts etc.
Steel sections
Curved steel
Connections
Prestressed concrete
Cheating concrete to
believe that it is not
experiencing any
tension!
Pre-compression
applied to concrete
overcomes tensile
stresses due to loading
Types of prestressing
Transfer of compressive stress
to concrete is by steel (high
strength strands)
If strands are stressed before
pouring concrete pretensioning
If strands are stressed after
concrete has gained sufficient
strength post-tensioning (in
this case, concrete is cast with a
duct)
Pre-tensioning
Post-tensioning
