STEEL CONSTRUCTION:

ECONOMIC & COMMERCIAL FACTORS

Lecture 1A.1: Introduction to Steel's Role in Construction in Europe

OBJECTIVE/SCOPE:
To inspire students with an enthusiasm for steel construction. To identify the
advantages of steel for construction in Europe, emphasising its future potential and
the rewarding challenge it offers to able students. To introduce ESDEP as a response
to this potential.

PREREQUISITES
None

Lecture 1A.4: The European Building Market

SUMMARY
Steel has been produced for about 100 years. It is a modern material with an
exciting future.

The advantages of steel are described together with recent developments which have
enhanced them, i.e. improvements in manufacture, enhanced range of properties,
improvements in fabrication and speed of construction, adaptability, consistent
quality, lightness, stiffness and strength.

The future development of uses of steel, the associated training needs and the role
of ESDEP in meeting those needs are discussed.

1. INTRODUCTION
Steel was first produced in the Middle Ages, but it was not until just over a century
ago that it was used for structural engineering.

Today, many remarkable structures demonstrate the possibilities of this well

developed material in their clear and transparent appearance, Slides 1 - 5.

Slide 1 : Centre Pompidou, Paris, France

6. CONCLUDING SUMMARY

• Steel is a modern material, produced in large quantity with high and

reliable quality.
• Steel is available in a wide range of hot and cold rolled products, as plates
and profiles.
• Steel is easily manufactured into end products.
• Most of this manufacture takes place in quality controlled workshops.
• Site connections can easily be made and can carry load immediately.
• Given good corrosion protection and maintenance, steel has an indefinite
life.
• Erection on site can take place quickly with little risk of delay.
• Steel structures are light and strong and only require simple foundations.

• Existing steel structures can easily be adapted to new demands.
• Quality Control and Quality Assurance will give a further guarantee of the
economic application of steel structures.

STEEL CONSTRUCTION:

INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN

Lecture 1B.4.1: Historical Development of Iron and Steel in Structures

OBJECTIVE/SCOPE
To appreciate how steel became the dominant structural material that it is today, it
is essential to understand how it relates to cast iron and to wrought iron, both in its
properties and in the way that all three materials evolved.

PREREQUISITES
None.

RELATED LECTURES
Lecture 1A.2: Steelmaking and Steel Products

SUMMARY
The properties of the three ferrous metals, cast iron, wrought iron, and steel, are
described and the evolution of their production is summarized. The evolution of their
structural use is also given and the prospects for further development introduced.

10. CONCLUDING SUMMARY

• Up to the late 18th Century, structures were designed essentially on the

basis of proportion.
• Intuition gave way to calculation for all materials and theory took over to
an increasing extent in the 19th century.
• Much of the present practice in steel design derived originally from timber
in the 19th century. At that time the understanding of cast iron and
wrought iron grew largely on the basis of component testing and proof
loading. Rigorous definitions of stress, strain, working stress, proof loading
and factor of safety appeared in the mid 19th century and gradually
ordinary engineers learnt to calculate simple structural forms on the basis
of assumed elastic behaviour and believe in the calculations without
testing.
• In the 20th century, the greatest advances in the theoretical understanding
of structures were associated with the airship and aircraft industries.
• The introduction of welding in he 1930s and the development of the theory
of plasticity led to major changes in design thinking.
• For the future, the wider use of computers offers the possibility of
achieving greater efficiencies in structures by considering 'whole structure'
behaviour including the effects of cladding and partitions.
