The application of steel pipes in concrete structures

2015-03-03


    The water-cooled steel pipe structural system is something we often see. This utilizes a specially designed structural system that allows water containing rust and antifreeze agents to circulate, cooling down to improve the fire resistance of the steel components. This method uses the steel components themselves to form a closed channel for liquid circulation, which can only be achieved with steel pipes.
  Steel pipe concrete is a composite column made by pouring concrete into thin-walled steel pipes. The core concrete prevents the pipe wall from losing local stability and rusting on the inner surface, while the steel pipe prevents lateral expansion when the concrete is subjected to longitudinal compression. It is a superior performance, easy-to-construct composite material of steel and concrete.
  The innovation and replacement of steel materials for concrete structures are very rapid. The requirements for steel materials used in concrete structures are not only large in quantity but also urgently hope that they keep pace with the development of structures in terms of variety, specifications, and performance. The development of concrete structures has promoted the innovation of the steel materials used, reflected in new advancements in various types of reinforcement used in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete.
