Steel structure is an important form of modern architecture. Today we systematically sort out common steel structural systems.
1.Civil building steel structure
It is widely applied in public buildings such as hospitals, schools, supermarkets, as well as high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
Most frameworks of civil building steel structures adopt steel frame structure or steel frame-bracing structure system, which not only ensures building stability, but also presents neat and elegant architectural appearance.
2.Industrial Building Steel Structure
The industrial field is where steel structures are most widely and maturely applied. They are generally divided into two categories: light steel and heavy steel according to steel consumption and stress conditions
① Light Steel Structure Workshop
It is the most common type of industrial building, mostly adopting portal frame structural system.Large logistics warehouses, electronic product precision manufacturing workshops and modern industrial office buildings we see are basically constructed with this type of structure.
② Heavy Steel Structure Workshop
It emerges to meet heavier and larger industrial demands, mainly applied in iron and steel bases, heavy equipment manufacturing bases, shipbuilding bases, automobile production bases and power industrial steel structure workshops.It usually adopts complex rigid frame system composed of built-up lattice columns or solid web columns plus trusses or solid web beams to bear huge loads and vibrations.

3.Long-span Spatial Structure
It is mainly used in stadiums, exhibition centers, theatres, airports, railway stations, docks and hangars.Its structural systems mostly include space grid, latticed shell, beam string structure, dome, spatial tubular structure and prestressed cable structure.
4.Petrochemical Industry
A large number of petrochemical steel frame structures serve as the core frameworks of oil refining installations and chemical factory buildings.

5.Warehousing and Logistics
Steel silo structures for bulk materials such as cement, coal and grain are important facilities to ensure stable supply chains.

6.Power System
From substation frameworks supporting power grids to transmission towers transporting electricity across mountains, steel structures are reliable guardians of power transmission.
7.New Energy Field
① Photovoltaic Brackets: The bracket system enables photovoltaic panels to adapt to various complex terrains and maximize solar energy absorption.

② Wind Turbine Tower: Adopting segmented conical cylinder structure, it hoists huge wind turbine impellers into the air to capture wind energy.
8.Communication Industry
The well-known communication towers include angle steel towers, single-pipe towers, landscape towers and other types. They not only realize signal coverage, but also take into account the coordination of urban landscapes.
9.Agriculture and Ecological Engineering
Steel structures are also widely used in agriculture. Nowadays, an increasing number of modern agricultural greenhouses adopt light steel structures.
