HEIGHT'ADVANTAGES'' FAST'FACTS'' Steel does not change size or shape with changes in moisture content – which helps prevent cracks in finishes such as drywall and stucco. When they get wet, both wood and brick will swell.

When they dry out and cure, concrete and concrete block will shrink and form shrinkage cracks.

Steel is isotropic: meaning it has the same dimensional properties in all directions. Since there is no “grain,” the strength of steel is the same up and down, side-to-side, and in all loading directions.

Steel does not warp, shrink, or crack in normal loading and framing applications.

Steel is ductile, and will bend and stretch when overloaded, rather than cracking or breaking like unreinforced concrete or masonry Steel is 100% non-combustible. Therefore, height and area restrictions on combustible materials do not apply to coldformed steel.

FIRE RESISTANCE Steel is a non - combustible, fire resistant material and will not feed a fire.

On average, wood structural members or framing rank third as the first-ignited material in home fires according to the national Fire Protection Association Building with steel can reduce construction insurance as well as homeowners premiums.

What'happens'to'a'House'during'an'earthquake?'

The' earthquake' (seismic)' forces' that' can' destroy' a' house' are' produced' by' strong' and' erraLc' sideRtoRside' and' upRandRdown' movements' in' the' ground'(see'Earthquake'movements).'Structural'damage'is'typically'caused'by''inerLa','or'the'reluctance'of'the'upper'porLons'of'a'structure'to' begin'moving'once'the'ground'has'shiled,'and'then'conversely,'to'stop'moving'once'the'structure'has'begin'moving.'

When'the'earth'shils'sideways,'the'effect'of'inerLa'on'a'house'is'similar'to'that'experienced'by'players'in'a'game'of'''crack'the'whip'.'

If'the'movement'is'verLcal,'inerLa'causes'the'structure'to'be'compressed'as'the'earth'rises'and''telescoped''as'the'ground'stops'moving.'

Homes'are'designed'to'resist'the'stresses'of'inerLa'by'absorbing'the'energy'that'is'produced'by'earthquakes.'This'is'commonly'accomplished'by' allowing'the'structure'to''flex''with'the'ground'movement'in'varying'degrees,'depending'upon'the'material'used'to'build'the'house,'design'of'the' structure,'quality'of'construcLon,'level'of'engineering,'and'the'applicable'building'code.

Engineering'a'house'for'earthquakes' Houses' framed' with' either' wood' or' steel' rely' on' the' same' basic' design' concept.' Induced' lateral' forces,' such' as' those' produced' during' an' earthquake,'subject'the'structure'to'sliding'and'racking'(see''racking'moLons'in'a'twoRstorey'residenLal'structure).'To'control'this'moLon,'the'roof' and'floors'must'be'Led'to'the'walls'all'the'way'down'to'the'foundaLon.'In'addiLon,'the''racking''must'be'limited'to'tolerable'levels.'The'roof'and' floor'between'sLff'walls'(those'designed'to'limit'racking)'must'be'designed'to'limit'moLon'and'transfer'loads'to'the'walls'and,'ulLmately,'the' foundaLon.' Since'the'lateral'forces'are'primarily'generated'at'the'floor'and'roof'levels,'walls'tend'to''uplil''and''overturn'.'This'is'controlled'by'tying'the'walls' together'to'reduce'uplil'forces'and'ulLmately'fastening'the'walls'to'the'foundaLon.

Light'Gauge'Steel'ConstrucLon' Most'regard'light'gauge'steel'framing'as'a'modern'concept,'although'it'has'been'used'in'both'residenLal'and'commercial'construcLon'for'many' decades.' So,' while' steel' framing' has' recently' become' a' viable' contender' in' the' home' building' industry,' it' has' a' reliable' track' record' over' an' extended'period'for'consistent'performance'as'a'structural'material.'There'is'no'difference'between'the'appearance'of'a'home'framed'with'light' gauge'steel' and'one'framed'with'wood'or'civil'construcLon.'Rather,'the'most'significant'difference'between'a'steel'framed'house'and'another' framed'with'wood'is'determined'by'how'well'the'framing'material'can'provide'longRterm,'consistent'performance;'for'example,'sagging'roof'lines' typically'found'in'an'older'wood'framed'home'are'not'evidenced'in'steel'framed'homes.

STEEL'CONSTRUCTION'IS'MOST'OFTEN'USED'IN' High'rise'buildings'because'of'its'strength,'low'weight,'and'speed'of'construcLon' Industrial'buildings'because'of'its'ability'to'create'large'span'spaces'at'low'cost' Warehouse'buildings'for'the'same'reason' ResidenLal'buildings'in'a'technique'called'light'gauge'steel'construcLon' Temporary'Structures'as'these'are'quick'to'set'up'and'remove

TYPES'OF'STEEL'BUILDING'CONSTRUCTION' There'are'several'types'of'steel'building'construcLon.'Steel'construcLon'is'also'called'steel'fabricaLon.' ConvenLonal'Steel'FabricaLon'is'when'teams'of'steel'fabricators'cut'members'of'steel'to'the'correct'lengths,'and'then'weld'them'together'to'make'the'final' structure.' This' can' be' done' enLrely' at' the' construcLon' site,' which' is' labourRintensive,' or' parLally' in' a' workshop,' to' provide' be[er' working' condiLons' and' reduce'Lme.' Bolted'Steel'ConstrucLon'occurs'when'steel'fabricators'produce'finished'and'painted'steel'components,'which'are'then'shipped'to'the'site'and'simply'bolted'in' place.'This'is'the'preferred'method'of'steel'construcLon,'as'the'bulk'of'the'fabricaLon'can'be'done'in'workshops,'with'the'right'machinery,'lighLng,'and'work' condiLons.'The'size'of'the'components'are'governed'by'the'size'of'the'truck'or'trailer'they'are'shipped'in,'usually'with'a'max'length'of'6m'(20l)'for'normal' trucks'or'12m'(40l)'for'long'trailers.'Since'the'only'work'to'be'done'at'site'is'liling'the'steel'members'into'place'(with'cranes)'and'bolLng,'the'work'at'site'is' tremendously'fast.'PreRengineered'buildings'are'an'example'of'bolted'steel'construcLon'that'is'designed,'fabricated,'shipped'and'erected'by'one'company'to' the'owner.'

Light'Gauge'Steel'ConstrucLon'is'a'type'of'construcLon'that'is'common'for'residenLal'and'small'buildings'in'North'America'and'parts'of'Europe.'This'is'similar' to'wood'framed'construcLon,'except'that'light'gauge'steel'members'are'used'in'place'of'wood'twoRbyRfours.'Light'gauge'steel'is'steel'that'is'in'the'form'of'thin' (1R3mm)'sheets'of'steel'that'have'been'bent'into'shape'to'form'CRsecLons'or'ZRsecLons.

WEIGHT'OF'STEEL'FRAME'STRUCTURES' Consider'a'single'storey'building'measuring'5'x'8m'(16'x'26l).'Let'us'first'construct'this'in'concrete,'with'four'columns'at'the'corners,'beams'spanning'between' the'columns,'and'a'150mm'(6")'thick'concrete'slab'at'the'top.'Such'a'structure'would'weigh'about'800'kg/m2,'or'32'Tons'(32,000'kg)'in'total.'If'we'build'this'of' steel'instead,'with'a'sloping'roof'covered'with'corrugated'metal'sheeLng'with'insulaLon,'this'would'weigh'only'about'65'kg/m2.'The'steel'framed'building'will' weigh'only'2.6'Tons'(2,600'kg).'So'the'concrete'building'is'over'12'Lmes'heavier!'This'is'for'single'storey'structures'R'in'mulLRstorey'structures,'the'difference' will'be'less,'as'the'floors'in'mulLRstorey'steel'buildings'are'built'of'concrete'slabs'for'economy'R'but'the'difference'is'sLll'significant.''

This'low'weight'of'steel'frame'buildings'means'that'they'have'to'be'firmly'bolted'to'the'foundaLons'to'resist'wind'forces,'else'they'could'be'blown'away'like' deck'umbrellas!

Advantages'of'Light'Gauge'Steel'in'an'earthquake' Earthquakes'are'unpredictable'in'terms'of'magnitude,'frequency,'duraLon'and'locaLon.'Consequently,'the'ideal'structure'to'withstand'earthquake'forces'will' behave' in' a' consistent' and' predictable' manner.' Unlike' wood,' light' gauge' steel' is' capable' of' meeLng' this' standard' due' to' the' strict' process' used' to' manufacture'steel'studs,'the'inherent'properLes'of'steel,'and'typical'construcLon'methods'used'in'steel'framing.''

Specific'advantages'offered'by'the'use'of'steel'framing'in'a'seismic'event'include'the'following'consideraLons:'' Steel'is'a'stable'material'with'consistent'chemical'a[ributes.'Once'the'steel'stud'has'been'formed,'it'will'remain'straight'with'virtually'no'change'to'thickness,' width'or'other'dimensional'properLes.'Once'a'tree'is'harvested,'on'the'other'hand,'the'wood'immediately'begins'to'dry'and'shrink.'This'conLnues'to'a'lesser' degree'aler'the'stud'is'processed,'but'can'be'seen'as'the'lumbar'warps,'twists,'or'bows.'Inconsistency'in'the'quality'of'the'wood'in'an'individual'stud'can'also' result'in'cracks'or'weak'spots'in'a'stud.'

Because' the' material' and' geometric' properLes' of' a' steel' framing' member' are' stable,' the' overall' strength' of' the' structure' will' depend' upon' the' quality' of' connecLons'between'the'studs.'Steel'framing'typically'use'screws'that'provide'a'mechanical'locking'connecLon.'Wood'framing'connecLons'are'made'with' nails'that'rely'on'fricLon'and'bending.'As'the'wood'dries'and'shrink'over'Lme,'the'amount'of'fricLon'holding'the'nail'into'the'wood'declines.'

Steel' has' a' significantly' higher' strengthRtoRweight' raLo' than' wood.' A' steel' frame' is' typically' oneRthird' the' weight' of' a' wood' frame.' Consequently,' damage' through''inerLa''will'be'significantly'reduced'since'there'is'less'weight'to'move'during'an'earthquake,'and'less'weight'that'must'stop.'

The' building' codes' used' in' the' design' of' steel' framed' walls' are' based' on' more' rigorous' tesLng' procedures' put' into' place' aler' the' recent' California' earthquakes'of'the'last'decade.'

Steel'framing'is'more'likely'than'wood'to'maintain'its'structural'integrity'over'the'longRterm'because'it'is'impervious'to'rot,'termites'and'other'pests'that'can' slowly'degrade'the'structural'integrity'of'framing'members,'lessening'the'ability'of'a'house'to'withstand'seismic'forces.'

Steel'is'nonRcombusLble'and'does'not'contribute'fuel'to'the'spread'of'a'fire.'This'can'be'an'important'factor'should'an'earthquake's'devastaLon'produce'fires,' similar'to'that'experienced'in'both'the'1906'San'Andreas'and'the'1989'Loma'Prieta'events'in'California.'

Summary' The'purchase'of'a'home'is'the'single'largest'investment'that'most'people'will'every'make.'As'a'result,'structural'and'nonRstructural'problems'during'the'life'of' a'house'can'be'both'financially'and'emoLonally'draining.'In'California,'where'earthquakes'are'more'frequent'and'violent'than'anywhere'else'in'the'United' States,'the'prudent'homeowner'will'take'necessary'precauLons'to'protect'against'their'loss.'Building'with'steel'should'be'considered'at'the'top'of'the'list.'

LIGHT'GAUGE'FRAME'BUILDING'THE'ONLY'SOLUTION'TO'EARTHQUAKE'RESISTANT'BUILDINGS Aler'experience'and'long'research,'today'the'designers'and'Architects'World'wide'have'accepted' Light'gauge'steel'buildings'as'safer'buildings'compared'to'other'buildings When'the'weight'of'the'building'is'reduced,'the'earthquake'force'affecLng'the'building'will'be'reduced.'Building'weight'of'steel'buildings' is'50%'less'than'reinforced'concrete'buildings,'so'the'earthquake'force'affecLng'the'building'will'be'reduced'at'the'same'raLo.'Steel'is'a' ducLle' material.' It' is' 18' Lmes' more' ducLle' than' reinforced' concrete.' As' ducLlity' ensures' energy' absorpLon' when' exposed' to' deformaLon' beyond' the' flexibility' behaviour,' this' feature' gains' importance' under' dynamic' loads.' Under' repeated' exposure' to' loads,' reinforced' concrete’s' single' direcLon' and' limited' energy' absorpLon' ability' diminishes' and' fails' aler' each' exposure' and' breaks' appear' without'any'deformaLon.'In'steel'buildings'on'the'other'hand,'when'elasLc'boundaries'are'exceeded,'or'when'the'building'is'exposed'to' loads' more' than' expected,' steel' construcLon' members' first' deform' thanks' to' their' high' capacity' of' deformaLon.' Energy' is' absorbed' during' deformaLon' and' the' building' remains' erected;' to' ensure' this' deformaLon' of' building' members,' loads' should' be' distributed' among' beams' ' and' columns.' It' should' be' carefully' considered' that' beamRcolumn' connecLons' have' the' sufficient' moment' capacity' to' transfer'loads'in'steel'construcLons.

Conclusions' Structural' steel' use' around' the' world' is' between' 30%' and' 55%,' unfortunately' in' India' this' raLo' is' below' 5%.' Steel' sat' on' the' agenda'widely'aler'several'earthquakes'in'the'region'in'previous'years,'so'the'exisLng'steel'manufacturers'started'to'improve' their' technology' and' many' new' entrepreneurs' became' interested' in' the' sector.'

PVDF'coated'roofing'sheets

Fiberglass'Asphalt'shingles Asphalt' shingles' come' in' two' types:' organic' and' fibreglass.'

Organic'shingles'are'based'on' p a p e r' ( w a s t e' p a p e r )' saturated' with' asphalt' to' make' it' waterproof,' with' coaLngs' of' adhesive' salt' and' ceramic' granules' embedded' on'top.'Fibreglass'shingles'are' made' with' a' base' layer' of' glass' fiber' reinforcing' mat.'

This' mat' is' coated' with' asphalt,' which' contains' mineral' fillers' and' makes' the' shingle'waterproof.'

While' organic' shingles' are' more' durable' than' fibreglass' ones,'they'are'more'prone'to' fi r e ,' a n d' a r e' l e s s' environmentally' friendly,' due' to' high' asphalt' (oil' based)' content.' Fibreglass' shingles' offer'excellent'fire'protecLon.' Today,' fibreglass' shingles' are' more'commonly'used'and'are' slowly,' but' surely,' replacing' the'organic'shingles.
