What steel structure knowledge do you need to know to build a steel building project? Steel structures are widely used…
Havit Steel designed and produced the prefabricated warehouse building in Guyana, which has a total warehouse area of 1,000 square meters. Guyana is located in the northern part of South America, with a total land area of 215,000 square kilometers, a population of 776,000, and the capital of Georgetown.
The roof of the prefabricated warehouse building in Guyana is made of 0.5mm thick aluminum-zinc color steel sheets. The warehouse has no walls and is an open structure.
Prefabricated warehouse building in Guyana: structural design
The prefabricated warehouse building in Guyana adopts a portal steel frame structure, and the steel columns and beams are hot-rolled H-shaped steel. The portal steel frame is a light steel structure composed of beams, columns, and connectors. It is suitable for industrial plants, warehouses, exhibition halls, gymnasiums, etc.
Main structure:
Steel columns, roof steel beams: Q355B H-shaped steel.
Secondary structure:
Roof purlins: Q235B Z-shaped purlins.
Roof horizontal support: Q235B round steel.
Column support: Q235B round steel.
Tie rod: Q235B welded pipe.
Guyana prefabricated warehouse building: installation sequence
- Foundation construction: Including ground leveling, foundation excavation, pre-buried anchor bolts, and foundation pouring.
- Steel structure installation: Assemble and install the prepared steel structure components on site. First, install steel columns and beams, then purlins, tie rods, roof, and wall supports.
- Roof construction: install roof color steel sheets, gutters, trim, and flashing.
What are the advantages of prefabricated steel and concrete warehouses, and which is better?
What does a concrete warehouse consist of?
Concrete warehouses mainly comprise concrete walls, roofs, floors, etc.
What are the advantages of concrete warehouses?
- Overall firmness and better sealing. Since concrete is the main material of concrete warehouses, the walls, roofs, and floors are more tightly connected and have better sealing to ensure the building’s stability.
- Strong durability and safety. Concrete warehouses are generally about 15-20 cm thick and are more durable than steel warehouses. They are also not easy to rust and have low maintenance costs.
What does a prefabricated steel warehouse consist of?
Prefab Steel Warehouses usually have steel columns, beams, foundations, trusses, roof panels, and wall panels.
What are the advantages of steel warehouses?
1. Short construction period and low labor costs.
Most steel warehouse parts are produced separately in factories. Only hoisting, splicing, and welding are required during construction to meet some manufacturers’ urgent storage needs quickly.
Prefabricated component production: The components of steel warehouses are prefabricated in factories and assembled on-site. Steel component production can be carried out simultaneously with on-site installation, significantly shortening the construction period compared to traditional concrete curing time.
Fewer installation processes: Compared with concrete structures, steel warehouses have fewer installation processes and less personnel input, so labor costs are low.
2. Convenient and environmentally friendly demolition.
Because the steel structure warehouse is designed to be very flexible, it generates less sand and dust during construction, which can reduce the pollution of the local air and environment. Compared with the concrete warehouse, the construction noise is also more minor. In addition, the steel structure warehouse is easy to move and has no pollution when recycled, which aligns with sustainable development.
3. The building is stable and has good overall rigidity.
The stability of the warehouse is essential. The steel structure warehouse’s roof structure adopts a triangular roof truss system made of cold-formed steel components. After the light steel components are sealed with structural plates and gypsum boards, a robust “plate rib structure system” is formed. This structure is suitable for areas with an earthquake intensity of more than 8 degrees.
4. Small area and sizeable usable area.
The function of the warehouse is to store. The steel structure warehouse does not use cylindrical supports like the concrete warehouse, so there is more space for storage.
