With its unique advantages, steel structure residence will surely become an important part of China's construction industry. Judging from the development trend, there is a huge market potential and development prospect for steel structure housing in China.
China's steel output has already leapt to the first place in the world. Since 1996, China's steel output has exceeded 100 million tons for several consecutive years, reaching 157.45 million tons in 2001. The output and quality of steel products have been continuously improved, and the cost of steel structures has been greatly reduced accordingly. The new situation of steel oversupply has created a good situation for the development of steel structure housing in China. What's more, with China's entry into W'I'0, China's construction steel products will be more diverse and the prices will be more reasonable. This lays a solid material foundation for the development of steel structure residence in China. This will certainly promote the rapid development of steel structure residential buildings.
With the development of high technology in China, the high-tech for steel structure has also developed rapidly. For example, the efficient welding technology, the application of new welding and cutting equipment and the development and application of new welding materials have created good conditions for the efficient production and production of steel structure houses.
In terms of policy, the Ministry of Construction issued "Technical Guidelines for Steel Structure Residential Buildings in construction industrialization" at the end of 2001, which provides a powerful policy guidance for standardizing and promoting the development of steel structure residential buildings in China and exploring the industrialization development path of steel structure residential buildings suitable for China's national conditions. This plays a positive role in promoting the popularization of steel structure residence.
Due to the flexibility of steel structure design, not only high-rise buildings, but also low-rise and multi-storey houses have good adaptability. At the same time, in low-rise and multi-storey houses, light steel structures such as cold-formed C-shaped steel or small hot-rolled steel can be used to form a keel structure system. High-rise buildings can use hot-rolled H-type, welded H-type, welded box type, cold-formed thin-walled square steel tube filled with concrete, round steel tube filled with concrete, etc. to form steel frame, steel support frame system, steel frame concrete shear wall system, etc. The wall-column system can be used to build villas and rural buildings.
