Steel frame is the most popular type of structure for building large and small, residential and industrial structures all over the world. The stages of the implementation of the metal framework include the implementation of the foundation, the implementation of the columns and beams, and the implementation of the roof, which are discussed in detail and the implementation points of each one.
Implementation of the foundation in the metal structure
The implementation stages of the metal structure, like any other type of structure, begin with the foundation. In general, the types of foundation required for the structure should be selected and designed based on the bearing capacity of the building soil.
In soil investigation, surface and subsurface exploration is used to evaluate the condition of the soil on which the steel frame structure is based.
For example, when medium or low loads are transferred to the foundation, it can be recommended to use a single or strip foundation. These types of foundations transfer loads to the soil that have the ability to support the transferred loads.
If the strength of the soil is weak and the imposed load is high! It is better to use a wide foundation or a pile. The foundations are reinforced and concreted using the structural drawings.
