Why Steel Is Widely Used For Construction

STEEL IS INCREDIBLE

Carbon steel has been around for centuries, and it scores highly for all four qualities that define metal strength.

 

THE MAKE-UP OF STEEL

Steel is a combination of iron and carbon; this alloy is much stronger and harder than either of its two elemental components.

 

QUALITIES OF STEEL WHICH MAKE IT A SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

  • DESIGN FREEDOM

The versatility of steel allows for the construction of complex architectural designs which would otherwise not be feasible or practical to accomplish.

  • OPEN AREAS

Open structures that are prone to be affected by elements such as humidity, heat, and hazardous gases call for durable steel structures.

  • WIND & SNOW CONDITIONS

Creating a structure that can withstand the elements requires the yield and impact strengths offered by the use of steel beams.

  • SEISMIC ACTIVITY

Steel is especially advantageous in areas of seismic activity, as steel’s compressive and tensile strengths suit the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings.

 

STEEL has been used in the construction of some of the most famous buildings in the world, including:

  • The Brooklyn Bridge
  • The Eiffel Tower
  • Empire State Building
  • Sydney Harbour Bridge
  • S. Steel Tower
  • Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower)
  • Beijing National Stadium
  • Burj Khalifa

 

Why choose cold-formed steel buildings for engineered structure projects?

  • Lightweight and easy to install

30% lighter than wood

  • Non-combustible

Low fire risk

  • Efficient

50% faster installation compared to stick-frame construction

  • Durable

No knots or inconsistencies; steel will not shrink, split, warp, crack, or creep

  • Exact

Members cut to more precise specifications than wood (often within 1-2 mm)

  2. If you are not familiar with electrical conductivity, read more about it in this infographic. Because it discusses how a material becomes a conductor which means that the electric charges can be accommodated by the component material.

WhatsApp Messaging in the Financial Sector – Tips to Using it and Staying Compliant

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture has deeply permeated the business fabric and is now the norm in many industries, such as the financial sector. As more and more investment advisors and broker-dealers use their personal devices to conduct business and perform their tasks, it has also become a norm in this sector to rely on popular chat messaging services apps as their main communication tool. On the front of these apps is WhatsApp, which according to several reports is the most popular chat messaging service in the world today.

Using end-to-end encryption, employees can use WhatsApp to send messages and send files to their colleagues and clients securely. Furthermore, compared to text messaging, this Facebook-owned messaging platform is also free of cost, making it cheaper to use given that the user is connected to the internet.

However, as reliable as it gets, financial companies must be extra careful in using WhatsApp given the plethora of regulations requiring firms to capture and retain all relevant trade conversations with their clients. To learn how financial companies can use WhatsApp and stay compliant, check out the infographic below from TeleMessage.
