Steel is a material increasingly used both in building and in households
due to its many qualities and variety of solutions offered.
Strength and lightness are the sensations you feel in the immediate vision
of the steel structures used in projects of high architectural and engineering
value; the quest for new forms and the need for flexibility and
"freedom" of the spaces enhance the use of steel in modern
construction that will reduce the overall dimensions of the structures and
broadening the free lights.
The ever present need to monitor the sustainability and environmental
impact both of industrial processes and realized constructions, and the
increasing sensitivity on the part of designers and operators of the sector
have made the steel at the top of the ranking of materials used, due to its
high recyclability. In addition the ease and speed of assembly on site the
prefabricated structures limit the costs of management and supper. The
flexibility of steel structures and prefabricated components finally allows the
future possibility of upgrading and renovation of spaces, extension, elevation,
by means of the dismantling and subsequent reassembly and through the greatest
freedom in the formation of joints, supports and stiffeners in place.
The steel find thus a wide use in the building field, where it lends
itself to the most diverse and modern projects. A good example of this are the
ventilated facades. Walls that certainly excite and at the same time act as
real "skin" on the building, a mix of technology and form, they can
visually "lighten" the large walls, they can renovate any type of
existing infill and give architectural value even to the less valuable building
envelope. There are many usable materials such as aluminum sheets and composite
type as Alucobond, steel, porcelain steel, copper, cement, glass etc.. and
there are also multiple forms of individual elements forming the system, such
as trapezoidal or corrugated panels, extrusions, processed panels
"cassette" or plans, expanded metal etc.. The proper planning and an
appropriate size of the substructure of anchoring are essential to achieve the
effect of flatness, verticality and horizontality of the lining of the joints,
as it is very important the choice of finishing elements.
The importance of the use of steel in all its various and numerous uses
makes it possible to shape and give lightness to the architectural components
of the project, essential to the functionality and aesthetics of the entire
work.
Moreover, if we speak of an earthquake, it is universally known that the
best prevention of earthquake damage is realized by maximizing the use of steel
structures. Italy for now is the back marker in the construction of houses and
buildings with a metal structure. The reasons are many, lack of adequate
education and connection between school and industry. Few companies are dealing
with steel construction. Yet the challenge for the future is this.
