Light Steel Frame

Light steel frame is a structural system composed of light steel materials (usually thin-walled steel, such as light steel keels) combined through welding, bolt connection or riveting. Light steel materials generally use galvanized steel sheets or color-coated steel sheets, which are characterized by light weight and relatively high strength. Light steel frame components have various cross-sectional forms, with common ones being C-shaped, U-shaped, L-shaped, etc., which can be selected and combined according to different architectural designs and mechanical requirements. It can flexibly construct various shapes and scales of spatial structures, suitable for multiple building types.

Main Features

• Light Weight: Compared with traditional reinforced concrete structures or heavy steel structures, the self-weight of light steel frames is significantly reduced, which can reduce the bearing pressure and cost of the foundation, and is also convenient for transportation and installation.
• High Strength: Although the thickness of light steel materials is relatively thin, through reasonable design and structural arrangement, light steel frames can bear certain loads and meet the safety requirements of building structures.
• Fast Construction Speed: Components of light steel frames can be produced in factories with standardization, and then transported to the construction site for rapid assembly, which greatly shortens the construction period and improves construction efficiency.
• Good Seismic Performance: Due to its light weight and flexible structure, light steel frames can better absorb and dissipate energy under earthquake action, reduce damage to buildings caused by earthquakes, and have good seismic performance.
• Environmental Protection and Energy Saving: Light steel materials can be recycled, which is in line with environmental protection requirements; at the same time, light steel frame buildings can be conveniently equipped with energy-saving measures such as thermal insulation, reducing building energy consumption.
• Strong Designability: Can be designed into diversified shapes and spatial layouts according to different architectural styles and functional requirements, meeting personalized design requirements.

Application Fields

Construction Field: Widely used in residential buildings, such as light steel villas, holiday houses, etc.; also used in commercial buildings, such as small supermarkets, exhibition halls, etc.; and can also be used in temporary buildings, such as mobile board houses, disaster relief resettlement houses, etc.
Interior Decoration: As the frame of interior partitions, ceilings and other decorative structures, it provides stable support for interior decoration and is convenient for the installation of various facing materials.
Industrial Plants: In the construction of some small industrial plants, light steel frames can be used as the main structural system to meet the requirements of industrial production for space and load-bearing.
