KOBEX Design Office is an experienced company specializing in the design of steel halls. As part of its services, the Design Office offers the design of framing structure made of cold-formed sections. This innovative solution not only saves material but also provides favorable strength characteristics and an aesthetic appearance. We present the key factors that should be taken into account when designing CFS building.
Today, there is a growing emphasis on minimizing material consumption in construction. In the case of Cold-Formed Steel framing structures, designers replace heavy hot-rolled sections with thin-walled cold-formed sections. This can reduce the weight of the structure, resulting in material savings and reduced costs related to transportation and assembly.
Another advantage of cold-formed halls is the ability to use various types of cladding, such as sandwich panels, trapezoidal sheets, or cassette facades. This gives designers greater flexibility in shaping the appearance of the building.
Designing steel halls from cold-formed sections requires consideration of several essential factors. Sections made from narrow and thin steel strips up to 6 mm thick have asymmetrical or monosymmetrical Class 4 cross-sections with limited load-bearing capacity. Therefore, the scope of designing objects depends on the section’s load-bearing capacity.
For higher halls or larger spans, section doubling is applied, increasing the section’s load-bearing capacity and facilitating the construction of nodes. The simplest load-bearing frames consist of two columns and a roof beam.
Designing Cold-Formed Steel framing buildings from cold-formed sections offers several benefits. Here are the most important ones:
Choosing CFS framing structure made from cold-formed sections is a sensible and beneficial solution in today’s construction industry. This innovative approach leads to material savings, reducing construction costs and positively impacting the environment through reduced resource consumption. With flexibility in design and attractive cladding options, these halls not only meet functional requirements but also have an aesthetic appeal.
