Advantages of Steel Structure:
In general, the advantages of steel structures are as follows:
Steel has a high strength to weight ratio. Therefore the dead weight of steel structures is relatively small. This property makes steel a very attractive structural material for some multi-storey building, long-span bridges, etc.
It can undergo the plastic deformation before failure; this provides greater reserve strength. This property is called as ductility.
Properties of steel can be predicted with a very high degree of certainty. In fact, steel shows elastic behavior up to a relatively high and usually well-defined stress level.
Steel Structure Frame can be built with the high-quality relationship and narrow tolerances.
Prefabrication and mass production is usually possible in steel structures.
The rapid construction is possible in the steel structures. This results in economic construction of steel structures.
The good fatigue strength is also the advantage of steel structure.
If necessary, the steel structures can be strengthened any time in future.
The reused capability of steel construction is also the advantage.
