The primary application of such buildings is for industrial use but single storey solutions are appropriate for many other applications. The advantages of the use of steel, in terms of low weight, minimum construction dimensions, speed of construction, flexibility, adaptability and sustainability are explained. The primary forms of steel structure and the methods of cladding them are introduced. It is noted that the requirements for fire resistance are usually modest, since occupants can usually escape quickly in the event of fire. The influence of providing a crane inside a single storey building, in terms of the structural design, is briefly addressed.  \nPart 1: Architect’s Guide","cbCaik0RsF9byRd2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik0RsF9byRd2","pdf",2329500,47,"English","# Foreword\n# Summary\n# 1 Introduction\n## 1.1 Steel as a construction material\n## 1.2 Steel in single storey buildings\n# 2 Advantages of choosing a steel structure\n## 2.1 Low weight\n## 2.2 Minimum construction dimensions\n# 3 Form of primary steel structure\n## 3.1 Structure types\n## 3.2 Connections between columns and beams\n# 4 Building envelope\n## 4.1 Cladding systems\n## 4.2 Secondary steelwork\n# 5 Fire safety\n# 6 Overhead cranes\n# 7 Conclusions\n# 8 Further reading","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this publication for architects?\",\"answer\":\"It introduces architects to using steel in single-storey steel-framed buildings, with focus on both industrial and other applicable uses.\"},{\"question\":\"Which advantages of steel construction are discussed?\",\"answer\":\"The guide explains benefits such as low weight, minimum construction dimensions, speed of construction, flexibility and adaptability, and sustainability.\"},{\"question\":\"How does fire safety treatment differ from other building types?\",\"answer\":\"Fire-resistance requirements are described as usually modest because occupants can typically escape quickly in the event of fire.\"}]","STEEL BUILDINGS IN EUROPE - Part 1 - Architect’s Guide | PDF",1792820706,118]
