The above can provide empirical data when determining whether a plant is heavy or light steel. Many buildings are, of course, both light and heavy steel.<\/p>
But some we can say with certainty are heavy steel: for example, petrochemical plant facilities, power plants, large-span stadiums, exhibition centres, high-rise or super high-rise steel structures.<\/p>
In fact, there is no “heavy steel” in the national codes and technical documents.<\/h5>
In order to distinguish steel structures for light houses, it may be more appropriate to refer to general steel structures as ‘ordinary steel’.<\/p>
Because the range of ordinary steel structures is so wide that it can include all kinds of steel structures, regardless of load, and even many elements of light steel structures, the Technical Code for Steel Structures in Light Houses only specifies some of the more specific elements. With its “light” character, the scope is limited to single-storey portal frames<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
