The application and research progress of steel structures in construction industrialization

Abstract

Abstract Building industrialization is the trend for future building industry. The development prospect is promising because of the many advantages of fabricated steel structure. This paper presents an introduction to the fabricated steel structures, including its concept, advantage and main forms in domestic and overseas areas. Besides, the latest researches on the fabricated steel structures were reviewed. Typical cases of assembled buildings with steel-structure were also introduced. The questions and difficulties concerning this issue are also discussed in this paper.
