What Are Some Ways To Reduce The Use Of Steel in Construction?

In construction, there are some ways to reduce the use of steel, which can save both money and material. The followings are the measures to save steel in the project:

First, integrated material cutting and reasonable processing. Within the scope of a construction enterprise, all steel components and iron parts processing should be centralized in a special unit. In this way, one is conducive to the supporting use of steel, and the other is to facilitate the collection and interruption of materials. Through scientific layout, the leftover materials can be fully utilized to minimize the loss.

Second, when steel bars are processed and formed, attention should be paid to the reasonable lap length of welding or binding steel bars. After cold drawing, the wire rod can utilize the elongation rate and reduce the amount of steel. The use of prestressed reinforced concrete also saves steel.

Third, make full use of short materials and old materials. During processing, a large number of short materials, leftover materials, and old materials can be used. For example, the short head of the formed steel bar can be made into the foot of the embedded iron part. To make short pipes of steel pipe scaffold saw 'F, can be used as steel mold diagonal braces, clamps, etc.

Fourth, try not to replace the small steel with the big steel, and replace the bad steel with the good steel. The use of boiling steel does not require killed steel, and it is not arbitrary to replace the small steel with large steel. When it is necessary to replace it, the cross-sectional area should also be converted. For example, the number of steel bars can be reduced when the steel is large and the number of steel bars can be reduced. The subsequent losses are minimized.
