Is it possible to have a 25 room Hotel building with Steel structure. Thay is instead of traditional RCC can we have a 25 room hotel constructed using steel construction? Is it economic and how much time will it take to construct the same? Appraximate area would be 5000sq.ft to 10000sqft.
it is possible...but with the current ever rising cost of steel...it is more expensive than reinforced concrete..... ...one more disadvantage is tat u have to use large I sections for the columns as steel do not take compression as good as concrete... ..tat is why u see..almost all totally steel structures are bridges where tensile strength rules more than compression.
Yes you can have a steel structure building, as if it is more economical than RCC, I think it is , and it is much faster in completion than RCC, For such area steel structure is less in time than the RCC by 30% to 40%, my experience could estimate 6months to 8 months duration for steel structure
