What are the differences between steel structures and concrete structures?

Answer:

Steel structure is mainly made of steel material, and it is one of the main types of building structure. The structure is mainly composed of steel beams and steel plates, such as steel beams, steel columns, steel trusses and so on. Each component or component is usually connected with welds, bolts or rivets. Because of its light weight and simple construction, it is widely used in large factories, stadiums, super high-rise and other fields.
The strength of the steel is high and the modulus of elasticity is high. Compared with the concrete and wood density and the ratio of yield strength is relatively low, and therefore under the same loading conditions section of steel structure is small, light weight, convenient transportation and installation, suitable for large span, height, weight bearing structure.
The utility model is suitable for shock and dynamic loads and has good seismic performance. The microstructure of the steel is uniform and almost isotropic. The actual work performance of the steel structure is in line with the calculation theory. Therefore, the reliability of the steel structure is high.
Generally speaking, the steel structure is more energy saving, environmental friendly, high strength, good seismic resistance, fast construction speed and suitable for industrial production. The reinforced concrete structure corrosion performance is good, good insulation effect.
