How Steel is used in Buildings and Infrastructure

The possibilities for using steel in buildings and infrastructure are virtually limitless, thanks to its versatility, strength, and durability. Steel is an essential component in various construction and infrastructure applications, playing a key role in enhancing the performance, safety, and longevity of structures. Here are the primary ways steel is utilized:

Structural Sections

Structural steel sections provide a strong and rigid frame for buildings, forming about 25% of steel use in construction. These sections are crucial for the stability and durability of structures, supporting load-bearing elements such as beams and columns.

Sheet Products

Approximately 31% of steel in buildings is used for sheet products, including roofing, purlins, internal walls, ceilings, cladding, and insulating panels for exterior walls. These products are vital for building exteriors and interiors, offering protection, insulation, and aesthetic appeal.

Transport Networks

Steel plays a significant role in the construction of transport networks, including bridges, tunnels, rail tracks, and buildings such as fueling stations, train stations, ports, and airports. Around 60% of steel used in transport networks is in the form of rebar, while the remaining steel is utilized in sections, plates, and rail tracks.

Reinforcing Bars

Reinforcing bars (rebar) provide critical tensile strength and stiffness to concrete, comprising 44% of steel used in buildings. Steel is chosen for its ability to bond well with concrete, offering strength, durability, and a similar thermal expansion coefficient. Reinforced concrete is essential for deep foundations, basements, and other structural components, making it the world's primary building material.

Non-Structural Steel

Steel is also commonly used in non-structural applications within buildings, such as heating and cooling equipment, interior ducting, and fixtures like rails, shelving, and stairs. These elements contribute to the building’s functionality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal, demonstrating steel’s versatility beyond structural applications.

Steel in Infrastructure Projects

In infrastructure, steel is crucial for building and maintaining utilities (fuel, water, power) and transportation networks. Over 50% of steel used in utilities is for underground pipelines that distribute water and gas, with the remaining steel being used primarily as rebar in power stations and pumping houses.
