The main components of a steel frame house are:
Foundations and basements that ensure the transfer of loads to the ground, ensure the stability of the construction and protect against water infiltration.
The structural resistance and closure elements, that is, the exterior and interior walls. They are designed to simultaneously ensure various functions such as the resistance of the building and ventilation channels.
Floors of the buildings used for vertical partitioning. They are calculated according to the nature of the construction, destination, loads, and openings.
The roof of the construction can be designed with drainage slopes or a terrace shape. The technical solution will depend on the opening of the construction, the use of the last floor as a support for the roof and the materials used.
Stairs and vertical transport means ensure circulation between the levels of the house. Construction technology on metal structures allows the use of an elevator or the installation of conveyor belts for people with disabilities.
