    Advantages of Steel As Structural Material

    Uploaded by

    Humairah N
    Steel has several advantages as a structural material including its elasticity according to Hooke's Law, uniform properties that do not change, and ductility allowing it to withstand deformation without failure. It is also very strong, flexible, and can be recycled. However, steel has disadvantages such as a high expansion rate with temperature changes, small fire resistance, susceptibility to corrosion and buckling, and high energy requirements for production.

    ADVANTAGES OF STEEL AS

    STRUCTURAL MATERIAL
    Elasticity
    - Follows Hooke’s Law (the High Strength
    Uniformity
    extension of the spring, x is - This means that the
    - Properties of steel do not
    proportional to the stretching weight of structure that
    change as oppose to
    force, F if the limit of made up of steel will be
    concrete
    proportionality of the material small
    is not exceed)very accurately

    Ductility
    Very strong and flexible
    - Can withstand extensive
    - Steel framed house are Can be recycled
    deformation without failure
    ideal in hurricane prone
    under high tensile
    regions
    stresses
    DISADVANTAGES OF STEEL AS
    STRUCTURAL MATERIAL
    Maintenance cost
    Has high expansion rate - Susceptible to corrosion
    Has very small when exposed to air,
    in changing
    resistance to fire water and humidity. So, it
    temperatures
    must be painted
    periodically

    Susceptibility to
    Cannot be mold in any
    buckling
    direction Energy intensive to
    - Length of compressive produce
    - Only be used in section
    column increases, danger
    that originally exists
    of buckling increases
