ADVANTAGES OF STEEL
STRUCTURES
Steel structures have the following advantages:
• They are super-quick to build at site, as a lot of work
can be pre-fabbed at the factory.
• They are flexible, which makes them very good at
resisting dynamic (changing) forces such as wind or
earthquake forces.
• A wide range of ready-made structural sections are
available, such as I, C, and angle sections
• They can be made to take any kind of shape, and clad
with any type of material
• A wide range of joining methods is available, such as
bolting, welding, and riveting
DISADVANTAGES OF STEEL
STRUCTURES
Steel structures have the following disadvantages:
• They lose strength at high temperatures, and are
susceptible to fire.
They are prone to corrosion in humid or marine
environments.
