Steel structure warehouse is a structure composed of steel and is one of the main types of building structures. The design of the steel structure warehouse focuses on beautiful appearance, bright colors, diverse building shapes, low cost, short construction period, high degree of safe production of steel components in factories, simple installation and construction methods, and flexible layout of the plane structure.

Advantages of steel structure warehouse

Ø Environmental protection and durability:Steel structure warehouse is a very environmentally friendly material and will not cause any environmental pollution to the natural environment during the entire installation and disassembly process3. In addition, the development trend of this type of materials is also fast and reliable. Steel structure warehouse materials are stronger and therefore have very good durability and are more reliable in applications.

Ø Aesthetics and practicality:The application of steel structure warehouse is relatively more beautiful and generous. Because its thick steel plates are all colored, they will not fade, corrode or rust even after 30 years of use. It can make the lines of the building brighter and make the design level easier.

Ø Short construction period and low investment cost:The construction period of steel structure warehouse is short, construction is convenient, and the investment cost is greatly reduced4. This is a very attractive advantage for warehouses with urgent needs.

Ø Easy to dismantle and relocate:Another advantage of steel structure warehouses is that dismantling projects are more convenient and recycling is pollution-free. In this era of severe environmental problems, the recyclability advantage of steel structure warehouses meets the requirements of sustainable development4.

Ø Wide range of applications:Steel structure warehouses have a wide range of applications. For many industries, steel warehouses can fully play a good application role, so they can now be applied to more and more fields.

Design Challenges of Steel Structure Multi-Story Warehouses

The design challenges of steel structure multi-storey warehouses include:

1) Selection of structural systems, such as optimization and arrangement of frames and supporting structural systems;

2) Dealing with floor openings and uneven distribution of mass stiffness;

3) Seismic fortification and torsion the occurrence of the situation;

4) The overall stability and safety of the structure;

5) The rationality of the construction arrangement and overall architectural design;

6) The division of fire and smoke prevention zones and the setting of smoke-proof hanging walls;

7) The design of various professional systems Coordinate design, such as electrical, fire protection, water supply and drainage, etc.
