Definition of steel structure and its advantages
A metal structure is usually a skeleton consisting of vertical steel columns and I-shaped horizontal beams that are placed to support the floor, ceiling and walls of a building, all attached to the main frame. It was the development of this technique and the use of metal structures that made possible the construction of today’s huge skyscrapers.
In the construction of materials of these structures, mainly steel is used. The steel materials used in structural steel have certain standards in their chemical composition and show good resistance to stress and loads on the building. Of course, they are not able to withstand fire alone, which is why steel materials must be coated so that they do not soften due to heat.
A great advantage of steel over concrete is that it performs much better in withstanding tensile and compressive loads and deforms instead of breaking. This feature makes it possible to troubleshoot problems in the building before it collapses or is damaged. That is why the demand for steel in construction projects has increased significantly.
There are various structures that are subdivided into metal structures such as sheds, building structures, industrial structures and so on. These structures may be used for industrial, residential, office or commercial purposes. They are also used in other structures such as bridges or railways and are also used for various purposes such as power transmission, mobile networks, radar, telephone towers and so on.
The main types of metal structures
- Frames (in beams and columns): (This type of structure is mostly used in the construction of high-rise buildings such as skyscrapers.)
- Grid structures: lattice or dome structure
- Prestressed structures
Truss structures: consisting of rods or trusses
- Arched structures
- Arched bridges
- Cable metal bridges
- Suspended structures: (This type of metal structures, in addition to building bridges, is also used in the construction of roof structures of buildings.)

Construction structure
What is a structure?
The term structure refers to anything that is made of interconnected parts with a fixed location on the ground.
The term can refer to any object designed to withstand a load. Like tunnels. , Bridges, etc., but mostly used for buildings. In the continuation of the article, we will discuss the structure of construction and its types.
Construction Structures
The building structure consists of the part of the building volume that bears the load and forces on the building. And it transfers it to its surroundings and protects the whole building and its materials against these stresses and loads. In fact, the most important goal for using these structures is to create a stable balance in the whole building.
When it comes to building and selecting the materials needed for a building structure. A list of popular construction methods ranging from wood to techniques such as lightweight steel structures are popular. As well as methods such as building earthen blocks and masonry used in specific projects.
Now how to choose the material and construction method that suits your needs? Let us first get acquainted with the common principles in construction.
Most buildings (both residential and commercial) are built around a frame that provides the structure and support of the building. Framing is usually divided into two categories: heavy framing and light framing.
In heavy framing, large and heavy beams are used. As well as steel frames commonly found in skyscrapers and other large commercial buildings. And the structural structure of the building is assembled piece by piece from wood or steel components.
In other construction methods such as masonry (the building is formed with separate stones or bricks that are joined together with mortar). Reinforced or unreinforced concrete (materials obtained from a mixture of sand, gravel, cement and water). Crushed blocks (building blocks made of compacted soil). And structural insulation panels (SIP) that can be used independently. Or be used with a frame to build a house.
Concrete structure in building structure
Concrete structures are types of structures in which materials such as. Reinforced concrete and a combination of sand. Rebar and cement are used and used in various parts of the structure.
To use or not to use any of these structures is determined by various factors. And it has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some also believe that use. Concrete structures cost less than steel structures, but this is wrong.
Depending on the functional specifications of each project, the steel parts used in the construction structure are possible. They have different shapes and sizes, and these items, in addition to the type of materials. Affect the cost of building construction.
Each of the different construction methods has its own advantages and most buildings use a combination. These techniques and materials create a comfortable and desirable environment for residents.

Niches
Silos are a type of metal structure that has an arched or sloping roof. And they are used for various applications such as factories and workshops, repair shops, poultry and livestock. Halls and restaurants, conference halls, hangars. Cold storage, storage, some gyms and so on. These structures are divided into different groups in terms of size, type of construction as well as connections.

Types of sheds and their applications
-
Arrow sheet
They are one of the oldest types of these structures. These structures are very similar to the truss type. But different factors distinguish these two types of structures. The construction of truss sheds in Iran is not very old, but shooting structures have been around for a long time. Which are used in Iran’s shed construction industries. They are made of steel and are currently being tried. To make changes in their design, reduced the price of sheet metal sheds.
Truss shed
Truss sheds are one of the most widely used types of industrial sheds, which are also called light sheds or HSS. In them, columns and wide and integrated beams are replaced with standard profile truss connections. The use of these materials not only provides good strength for the structure, but also makes it possible to use special architectures and different shapes to design the structure.
The cost price of truss sheds
They are less expensive than other sheds because they require lighter reinforcement and foundations. On the roof and walls of these structures of ceiling and wall panels, galvanized sheets with different insulation. (Aluzink, fiberglass or galvanized) or brick and cement coatings are used, roof panels are the best option, but they are more expensive and the use of brick and cement coatings is no longer practical. These structures have many advantages and that is why they are used a lot.
Their cost is lower than other types of these structures and the cost of the structure is lower. Also, one of the most important features of these structures is that there are no restrictions on the dimensions of their openings and they can withstand a large amount of load and pressure. Their design and execution also requires shorter time and heavy and high tonnage cranes can be installed in this type of sheds.
Division of the shed in terms of roof and opening of the shed
The sheds are also divided into different types in terms of their openings, such as polygonal, arched, single-opening (8), double-opening (88) or multi-opening (888 or 8888).
The roofing of these structures uses various materials such as glass wool, fiberglass, sandwich panels, Iranite, polycarbonate, galvanized sheet, foam, rock wool and lace.
Application of the shed
The use of sheds, except in large manufacturing industries, etc., includes small household sheds that have different types, such as storage of gardening or boating tools, small wooden sheds, on farms to store fodder or even recreational sheds that include They become a small, cottage-like space.
Types of roof coverings
In the construction of sheds, we can use sandwich panels in covering the roof and its walls. Depending on the type of use, the roof of the sheds can be used from 3 different types of panels as follows:
- Use of sandwich panels with polystyrene insulation foam
- Use panels made of galvanized sheet and fiberglass
- Use panels made of aluminum foil and fiberglass
All three of the above have their advantages and disadvantages, and in fact, each of them can be called a roof sandwich panel, because they have a layered structure. To choose between these three types for the roof of our sheds we use. Made of polystyrene sandwich panel. Polystyrene is the newest internal foam for panels, which is fireproof, waterproof and standard thermal and moisture insulation.
Price
Various factors affect prices, such as the material used in them, dimensions and so on. You can get acquainted with how to calculate the cost of building a shed and the factors affecting that article, view the construction price of the shed on this website, or by contacting us using the advice of Ralco experts to select the best shed suitable for your intended use.
