Portal Frame Structure
The most common system for single-story industrial buildings. Consists of rigid frames formed by columns and beams using H-section steel. Highly economical with fast construction times. Ideal for warehouses, factories, and workshops.
Truss Frame Structure
Multiple steel bars connected by nodes forming triangular shapes to disperse loads across long spans. Excellent for roofs and bridges, efficiently handling both tension and compression forces.
Steel Frame Structure
Beams and columns provide support for multi-story and high-rise buildings. Offers excellent lateral stiffness and seismic performance. Used in office towers, residential buildings, and mixed-use developments.
Grid Structure
Multiple planar trusses forming a three-dimensional spatial force system. Perfect for large-span applications like sports arenas, airport terminals, and exhibition halls.
Suspension Structure
Main cables bear the weight, enabling extraordinary spans over water or valleys. The Golden Gate Bridge exemplifies this elegant engineering approach.
Shell Structure
Thin-walled steel structures distributing loads across curved surfaces. The Sydney Opera House demonstrates how shell structures combine stunning form with structural efficiency.
