USE OF STEEL IN CONSTRUCTING BUILDINGS The advantages to building with steel are enormous!

To start with,

homes built with steel have straighter walls and fewer cracks than homes built with wood. In addition, steel is dimensionally stable and won't warp, rot buckle, or split, providing substantial savings in long-term maintenance and energy costs and higher resale values. Steel is the ideal building material for these environmentally conscious times. It is nontoxic and 100% recyclable! Click to edit Master subtitle style

Steel Bars for RCC Work

All finished steel bars for reinforced work should be neatly rolled to the dimension and weights as specified. They should be sound, free from cracks, surface flaws, laminations, rough, jagged and imperfect edges and other defects. It should be finished in a work manlike manner.

General precautions for steel bars in reinforcement

Steel bars are clear, free from loose mil scales, dust and loose rust coats of paints, oil or other coatings which may destroy or reduce bond strength. Steel bars should be stored in such a way as to avoid distortion and to prevent deterioration and corrosion. Steel bars should not be clean by oily

The cranks in the bar at the end should be kept in position by using spots. The steel bars should not be disturbed while lying cements concrete. Required cover under steel bars should be given before laying the cement concrete. No over lap is given in the bar having 5/8/12 a diameter more than 36 mm, if

Weight of Different Steel Bars

When any type of steel members for use in house construction is required, we calculate the length of steel member in feet or meter but we are ignorant about the weight of steel.

THICKNESS
Steel is available in many different thicknesses and strength levels. The common design thicknesses are 0.018, 0.033, 0.036, 0.044, 0.048, 0.060, 0.075, and 0.105 inches (exclusive of any metallic coatings). It is important to specify sheet thickness by the decimal thickness to guarantee a minimum thickness Click to edit Master subtitle style of delivered product.

STRENGTH
The sheet steel can be supplied in different strength levels to meet the structural requirements of the project. In general, for load bearing product it is common to use material with a yield strength of 33 ksi for thicknesses up to 0.048 inches.
