The design of a steel structure can be done in one of three ways: simple, continuous, or semi-continuous. Analysis of steel structures (metal structures) is carried out according to building codes that contain data about design parameters of steel, dimensions and geometric properties of rolled steel. Steel is used bacuse of its strength. Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, less steel is needed in a single support or beam, reducing material costs and improving its sustainable nature. It can withstand strong physical impacts and forces, keeping building occupants safe, but won't wear... Show more
