STEEL APPLICATION IN CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRY

Infrastructure and construction are among the sectors using the most iron and steel, the amount of steel used in these two sectors accounts for more than 50% of the total annual steel production in the world.

According to the latest UN projections, by 2030 the population of the world will be 8.5 billion people, by 2050, it will be 9.7 billion people. This issue is accompanied by a high rate of urbanization as well as an increased need to build infrastructure, thus, limiting the use of natural resources, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. important for developing a sustainable future.

 

Steel manufacturers around the world are constantly finding solutions to save energy and reduce CO2 impacts on the environment. The solution is realized by increasing the product's service life and life cycle and its reusability.

In particular, steel provides infrastructure and construction solutions to developing countries and cities with the potential to regenerate the environment by protecting coastlines and designing wind turbines. Buildings and buildings with 20% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions have a perfect opportunity to reduce their environmental impact.

Not only affordable, steel is also safe in use, steel has mechanical and physical properties such as hard, durable, flexible and recyclable after the end of its service life.
The application of steel in infrastructure construction is unrestricted, the following are the uses for steel.

 

Architecture: Steel has hard properties, capable of making a good building framework, so steel is present 25% in construction.

Support bar: Steel has flexural strength, elasticity, toughness, stiffness, good bonding with concrete, which is the reason for steel having 44% presence in construction. In addition, steel has a low cost and coefficient of thermal expansion (the coefficient of thermal expansion is a physical quantity that characterizes the size change as temperature changes). Reinforced concrete is the main material for use in foundations and basements in buildings.

Panel products: 31% of sheet products made from steel are used in construction such as ceilings, purlins, building exterior walls, roofs and cladding, building external insulation panels.

Steel is also used to make air conditioners, heaters, and pipes inside buildings.
Steel is used to make railroad tracks, stairs, and shelves.
 

STEEL APPLICATION IN INFRASTRUCTURE

Steel is used to build bridges, tunnels, railroad tracks, refueling stations, stations, airports, and gates. Steel is used to make water pipes, gas pipes, power stations, pump houses ...

 

Steel is used in the fields of:
