　　Steel structures are structures made of steel materials, and they are one of the main types of building structures. The structure is mainly composed of components such as steel beams, steel columns, and steel trusses made of steel sections and steel plates, and rust prevention processes such as silanization, pure manganese phosphating, water washing and drying, and galvanizing are used. The components or parts are usually connected by welds, bolts, or rivets. Because of their light weight and simple construction, they are widely used in large factories, venues, super high-rise buildings, etc. Steel structures are prone to rust; generally, steel structures require derusting, galvanizing, or painting and require regular maintenance.
　　1. High material strength, light weight
　　Steel has higher strength and a higher elastic modulus. Compared with concrete and wood, its ratio of density to yield strength is relatively low; therefore, under the same stress conditions, the cross-section of steel structure components is small, and the self-weight is light, making it easy to transport and install, suitable for structures with large spans, high heights, and heavy loads.
　　2. Good steel toughness and plasticity, uniform material, high structural reliability
　　Suitable for withstanding impact and dynamic loads, it has good seismic performance. The internal structure of steel is uniform and close to an isotropic homogeneous body. The actual working performance of the steel structure is more consistent with the calculation theory. Therefore, the reliability of steel structures is high.
　　3. High degree of mechanization in the manufacturing and installation of steel structures
　　Steel structure components are easy to manufacture in factories and assemble on site. Factory mechanized manufacturing of steel structure components has high precision, high production efficiency, fast on-site assembly speed, and short construction period. Steel structure is a structure with a high degree of industrialization.
　　4. Good sealing performance of steel structures
　　Because welded structures can be completely sealed, they can be made into high-pressure vessels, large oil pools, and pressure pipelines with excellent air tightness and water tightness.
　　5. Steel structures are heat-resistant but not fire-resistant
　　When the temperature is below 150℃, the properties of steel change very little. Therefore, steel structures are suitable for hot workshops, but when the surface of the structure is subjected to heat radiation of around 150℃, heat insulation plates should be used for protection. When the temperature is between 300℃ and 400℃, the strength and elastic modulus of steel decrease significantly, and when the temperature is around 600℃, the strength of steel tends to zero. In buildings with special fire protection requirements, steel structures must be protected with fire-resistant materials to improve the fire resistance rating.
　　6. Poor corrosion resistance of steel structures
　　Especially in humid and corrosive environments, it is easy to rust. Generally, steel structures require derusting, galvanizing, or painting and require regular maintenance. For offshore platform structures in seawater, special measures such as "zinc block anodic protection" should be used for corrosion prevention.
　　7. Low-carbon, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and reusable
　　The demolition of steel structure buildings will produce almost no construction waste, and the steel can be recycled and reused.
