• Portal frame structure: This structure is used in industrial buildings with a fast construction speed.
• Steel building frame structure: This structure is used in super high commercial buildings which are flexible and form a larger space.
• Steel truss structure: This structure is a small rod that forms large cross-section elements and is used in industrial buildings such as roofs, bridges, towers, etc.

Structural Steel Building Construction Steps

1. Foundation is made, and anchor bolts are placed.

2. Columns are attached to anchor bolts in concrete.

3. Girts (horizontal beams) are attached to all columns and overhead door jambs.

4. Trusses are assembled.

5. Completed trusses are raised onto columns and connected.

10. You can add any translucent panels, gutters, downspouts, or other trim and seal the building to finish it off.

Advantages of structural steel buildings in Nepal

Let’s look at some advantages of structural steel buildings in Nepal.

• Compared to other structural materials, steel is cheaper.
• Steel structures are largely fire resistant whereas woods are lower fire resistant.
• Steel structure is well fabricated and inflexible which helps to repel disasters like earthquakes, heavy winds, and heavy rains.
• The overall development process of Steel structure buildings is handed off in a cost-effective and timely manner. 
• Threat indication, humidity and weather resistance, easy fabrication, safe and resistant, environment-friendly, easy installation, and speedy construction are the major advantages of steel structure buildings.
