Structural System Strategy
Structural Material / System Choices - Steel Skeletal Frame
- Strength and Durability: Steel's superior strength and durability allow for longer spans and taller structures, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
- Space Optimization: Steel's high strength-to-weight ratio maximizes interior space, offering flexibility in design and functional usage.
- Speed of Construction: Prefabricated steel components enable faster construction, reducing project timelines.
- Fire Resistance: Steel's inherent fire resistance enhances building safety and regulatory compliance.
- Longevity and Maintenance: Steel frames have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance, reducing overall expenses.
Structural Framing Layout
- Maximizing Open Floor Plans: Longer spans without additional support columns maximize usable space, facilitating open and functional interior layouts.
- Reducing the Need for Interior Columns: Steel's strength minimizes the need for interior columns, enhancing design flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
- Minimizing Structural Depth: Shallow steel beams maintain structural integrity while minimizing building height, ideal for projects with height restrictions or aesthetic considerations.
Structural Framing Placement
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Concealing structural framing inside provides a sleek exterior appearance, improving the building's overall visual appeal.
- Maximized Usable Space: Interior framing allows for uninterrupted floor-to-ceiling heights, optimizing functional space and providing flexibility in interior design.
- Improved Thermal Performance: Interior framing minimizes thermal bridging, enhancing insulation efficiency and overall energy performance of the building.
