We often hear of "Steel Structure" when we talk about construction field, especially in those projects which have enormous scale and height. But few people understand the meaning of this phrase, so what Steel Structure means?
Welded mesh is a mesh made of ribbed or plain wire rods. These steel wire rods must undergo the resistive spot welding technology. At this time, steel will melt down to the point that steel wires connect together, thus forming a dense, consistent mesh into big slab.
On 24th March 2018, QH Plus implemented the installation of steel core construction (Spire) system on top of Landmark 81 building roof, this structural part has a height of 61 meters and weight 160 tons, helping the tower reach the record height of 461 meters, become one of the tallest towers in the world.
Welded mesh is manufactured from high tensile cold-drawn steel wire and undergoes automatic welding process by resistive spot welding technology so it has a higher bearing capacity than other types of manual wire mesh made by welding machine.
Nowadays, steel frame fabrication is becoming a preferred method of construction thanks to its outstanding advantages over traditional concrete construction methods. The method of steel fabrication housing meets the demand for fast construction and low cost but does not affect the quality and durability of the building.
While today's skyscrapers are being made out of a variety of new materials, we wanted to look at the top 10 buildings that utilized steel as their main vertical and lateral structural elements.
