Steel: history, characteristics and advantages

Steel bearing structures: a jump into the past

Since the second half of the 19th century, iron, and steel in particular, has been the cutting-edge protagonist of modern architecture. Indeed, steel has contributed in making buildings that have become the symbols of the Industrial Revolution such as skyscrapers, warehouses, malls and railway stations.

It is no coincidence that this material is still used today in the construction of impressive and large buildings.

Composition

Steel is an alloy composed of iron and carbon: the quantity of the carbon determines the quality of the steel. Generally, steel used for metal structural work is typically semi-mild (carbon content between 0.15 and 0.25%) or mild (carbon content between 0.25 and 0.40%).

Characteristics and advantages

Steel has several advantages such as:

• high mechanical performances, with excellent resistance to traction and compression
• high standardization that makes possible a higher precision in the design and execution phases
• ductility
• elasticity
• aesthetics
• lightness in relation to the mechanical stresses supported by the small bearing elements
• excellent workability based on the cut to size of the pieces and the creation of welded or bolted joints
