HOW TO SELECT STEEL FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys today i am going to explain you "How to select steel for building construction" so guys its very important topic for you if you are a civil engineer and supervisor so read out fully and follow us to get latest information about our topics and subscribe us on YouTube for better understand of the topics and i will provide you video link of this article in the last of the topic so lets start-
1.Check Diameter & grade of steel-
So first of all you have to check diameter of steel and also grade of steel we have different grade of steel 40 ,60 and 75 .so must be check diameter and grade of steel before buying ..
2. Check weight of steel-
Here is example to check weight of steel.if we have 8 mm diameter steel bar and length is 12 meter so weight of steel-
FORMULA TO CALCULATE WEIGHT OF STEEL = D²L/162
given data
D = 8 mm ,L = 12 meter
So weight of steel = ( 8 x 8 x 12)/162
weight of steel = 4.74 kg
3.Check for rust and loose Coating-
if you wanna purchase you have to check rust and loose coating .it should not be rust and it should not be loose if there is loose coating in steel don't you it for building construction .
4.Check for cracks-
If we bend steel 180 degree so surface of steel are the top surface of the steel should not be white and it should not be developed any cracks.its very important so don't you this steel
5. Never store steel on the ground-
sometime we placed steel on the ground with that steel should rust and rusted steel should not be used in building construction otherwise it will make more problem and rust can we weak strength of the steel remember these points.if you wanna store steel on ground so it should be up from the ground mini 4 inches .
