Why steel structures?

Better quality control

Lighter

Faster to erect

Reduced site time‐ Fast track construction

Large column free space and amendable for alteration

Less material handling at site

Less % of floor area occupied by structural elements

Better lateral and earthquake load resistance
Why not?

Skilled labor is required

Higher cost of construction

Higher maintenance cost

Poor fireproofing, as at 10000F (5380C) 65% & 
at 16000F (8710C) 15% of strength remains

Electricity may be required

Centriod

The centroid of a body is the center of its mass (or masses), the point at which it
would be stable, or balance, under the influence of gravity.

Moment of Inertia (In fact Double Moment of Area)

The Moment of Inertia (I) is a term used to describe the capacity of a

cross-section to resist bending. It is a mathematical property of a section
concerned with a surface area and how that area is distributed about the
reference axis.

Moment of Inertia

The deflection of a beam under load depends not only on the load, but also
on the geometry of the beam's cross-section. This is why beams with higher
area moments of inertia, such as I-beams (properly denoted as: wide-flange
beams), are so often seen in building construction as opposed to other
beams with the same cross sectional area.

Divers reducing their moments

of inertia to increase their rates of
rotation
Radius of gyration (r)

Describes the way in which the area of a cross-section is distributed around

its centroidal axis. If the area is concentrated far from the centroidal axis it
will have a greater value of ‘r’ and a greater resistance to buckling.

r = radius of gyration

Section Modulus (Z)

The section modulus of the cross-sectional shape is of significant importance

in designing beams. It is a direct measure of the STRENGTH of the beam.

Mathematically can be expressed as

Where, Z = Section modulus

c = distance from the neutral axis to the remotest element
