Standard of Steel Structure for Buildings
The standard of steel structure for buildings is an important factor to ensure the safety and reliability of building steel structures and their works. Generally, the standard of steel material should meet the relevant international standards of ASTM standards, JIS standard and DIN standard, etc. In addition, the fatigue strength of steel structure should also meet the relevant requirements.
ASTM standards ASTM A36 / A36M, ASTM A193 / A193M, ASTM A572 / A572M are generally used as the standard for hot-rolled steel structural parts in construction projects. The forging steel material is mostly from AISI, SAE and ASTM standard, under which ASTM A694 / A694M-02a are mainly used in the steel structure works.
JIS standard mainly includes JIS G3101-2004 “Rolled Steel for General Structures” and JIS G3106-2004 “Carbon Steel Plate for Structural Purpose.” Generally used as a standard for cold-formed and hot-rolled steel structures.
DIN standard also includes various standards, such as EN 10025, EN 10028 and EN 10113, which are mainly used in steel structure works.
In addition to the standard of steel material, the fatigue strength of steel structure must also meet the relevant requirements. According to the fatigue strength design theory, after repeated cycling loading of the structure, cracks will develop around the critical section and lead to brittle fracture. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the fatigue strength of the steel structure to establish the safety specification.
In a word, the standard of steel structure for construction must meet the relevant international standards and should also take the fatigue strength of steel structure into consideration. That is important for ensuring the safety and reliability of building steel structure and its works.
