Metal construction involves building metal and steel structures. Metal frames are made up of trusses, crossbowmen, ties, and purlins connected together. For metal frames, rolled steels like S235, S275, and S355 are preferred over mild steels due to their lower risk of deformation. Metal beams can have U, I, or H shapes.

Metal construction is a field of construction, but also of mechanics
or civil engineering which is interested in the construction of metal and more particularly steel structures. Like a traditional frame, the metal frame is made up of trusses, crossbowmen and ties connected by purlins. For the development of a metal frame, we always prefer rolled steels to mild steels, which present more risks of deformation. The steel most often chosen is S235, S275 and S355. On a metal frame, the beams have specific shapes: U shape: UPE or UPN type joists. I-shape: IPE beams (normal European beams). H shape: HEA or HEB type joists (European wide wing joists). Lesson 2
External thermal insulation consists in placing the layer of
insulation (expanded polystyrene or other insulation) and the various layers of facing materials like mineral or organic coating, PVC, wood, stone…. on the exterior walls of a building. The thermal envelope thus created provides a high level of thermal performance, eliminating the thermal bridges responsible for heat loss. It also makes it possible to anticipate changes in thermal regulations by meeting the requirements of passive buildings or with a positive energy balance and offers a very noticeable gain in comfort, winter and summer, by keeping exterior walls at constant temperature by thermal inertia Lesson 3
Stainless steel is an Austenitic acid-resistant Cr-Ni alloy steel of
18/10, which thanks to its reduced hydrogen content has very good anti-corrosion properties. It is approved for temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius. Steel is resistant to water, steam, atmospheric humidity and food acid, as well as weak organic and inorganic acids, and is very versatile in its employment possibilities: food industry, production of beverages, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, construction of apparatus for chemistry and medicine.
The advantages of stainless steel are as follows:
corrosion resistant resistant to temperature variations antistatic weldable hygienic sustainable Lesson 4

2)start of the construction of the concrete piers (specific shuttering tools, gradually rising, building on the parts already made); start of manufacturing of the first elements of the metal deck; 3)start of work on the toll barrier; 4)end of construction of abutments; 5)end of construction of the seven concrete piers; 6)launch of the first metallic span of the deck (from the abutments with temporary guying and with temporary supports); 7)end of the installation of the deck with the construction of the prones and final guying; 8)execution of superstructures and equipment (waterproofing, wearing course, water collection 9)devices, safety devices and windbreak screens); 10)end of construction of the toll barrier; 11)commissioning of the viaduct Lesson 5
The metal structures of Tunis-Carthage International Airport are
100% prefabricated systems with connections that are easy to assemble. The tube connections are mechanical, resistant and require no welding. The connectors are full-body steel nodal hubs. The tubes are screwed and fixed at their ends to their nodal elements. The hub connection system is applicable for steel and aluminum components. All elements are galvanized, powder coated or stainless steel
