Structural steel framing is a
durable, reliable, cost-effective,
sustainable option for low-rise,
mid-rise and high-rise building
projects and typically refers to
building frame systems where the
vertical and horizontal structural
elements are formed by a system of
structural steel beams and columns.
BASIC PARTS OF STEEL ROOF FRAME
RAFTER
A rafter is a structural component that is used as part of a roof
construction. Typically, it runs from the ridge or hip of the roof to the
wall plate of the external wall. Rafters are generally laid in series, side
by side, providing a base to support roof decks, roof coverings and so
on.
PURLINS
In architecture, structural engineering or building, a purlin is a
horizontal beam or bar used for structural support in buildings, most
commonly in a roof. Purlins are supported either by rafters or the walls
of the building. They are most commonly used in metal buildings,
though they sometimes replace closely spaced rafters in wood frame
structures.
