  • Fireproof classification in structural steel
    Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

           Many structural steel framed buildings are designed assuming them to be “Thermally Restrained”, with little or no understanding of what this actually means.  The ASTM E119 standard used by Underwriters Laboratories to test fireproofing materials defines four hourly classifications for floor ceiling and roof ceiling assemblies. The four classifications are: Restrained Assembly Unrestrained Beam Unrestrained Assembly ...

  • Prestressed steel structure
    Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

           1)     Take full advantage of the elastic strength to enhance the structural bearing capacity. The non-prestressing structure finishes load-carrying when it reaches design strength F, called N1; prestressed steel structure starts with F01, the bearing capacity is N2 and N3, obviously N3>N2>N1. 2)     Improve load-carrying, save steel materials. Prestressing can be transformed to axial tension by ...

  • Specific Metallurgy for Carbon Steel
    Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

    The best way to understand the metallurgy of carbon steel is to study.  Slow cooling will reduce the transformation temperatures; however the fast heating and cooling rates encountered in welding will have a significant influence on these temperatures, making the accurate prediction of weld metallurgy using this diagram difficult. Austenite   This phase is only possible in carbon ...

  • Some problems in modern steel structure
    Monday, March 28th, 2011

    1.      Fire resistance  Conflagration means doom to steel structural buildings, although steel is non-combustible material, it’s not fire resistant. The tensile strength will be half weakened when the temperature reaches 400 degrees; steel lose all the strength and rigidity when the temperature reaches 600 degrees. Below are two common fire precautions: One: apply newly imported ...
