S690 steel offers several advantages over conventional steel in construction projects. Here are the main advantages:
Higher intensity Enhanced load capacity: S690 steel has a higher yield strength (up to 690 MPa) compared to traditional structural steel (typically around 235-460 MPa), allowing structures to be designed to support greater loads.
Lower weight LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION: A high strength-to-weight ratio enables the use of thinner, lighter parts, resulting in overall lower material usage and shipping costs.
Material efficiency Less steel required: Because the S690 uses less material to achieve the same structural performance, it saves material and manufacturing costs.
Improve ductility Better Energy Absorption: S690 steel retains good ductility, allowing structures to deform under pressure without immediate failure. This property is critical for absorbing energy during events such as earthquakes.
Enhance fatigue resistance Longer service life: S690 has excellent fatigue resistance, making it suitable for applications subject to cyclic loads, such as bridges and cranes.
Design Flexibility Innovative building solutions: The ability to use elongated sections allows for more innovative and aesthetically pleasing designs, including longer spans and open layouts.
Cost-Effectiveness Reduced overall costs: While the initial cost of S690 steel may be higher, reductions in material use, foundation size and maintenance can result in significant long-term savings.
Improve weldability Efficient Manufacturing: S690 steel has good weldability, allowing for efficient manufacturing and assembly processes, thus reducing construction time.
Reduced foundation requirements Reduced Foundation Loads: The lightweight nature of S690 steel structures allows for smaller and cheaper foundations, which is particularly beneficial in challenging soil conditions.
Enhanced performance under extreme conditions Seismic and Wind Load Capacity: The strength and ductility of S690 steel make it particularly effective in areas prone to seismic activity or extreme wind loads.
S690 steel offers many advantages over conventional steel in construction projects, including increased strength, reduced weight, material efficiency and improved performance under a variety of loading conditions. These benefits contribute to safer, more cost-effective and environmentally friendly construction practices.
