The demand for Steel in construction industry is pretty high accounting for more than 50% of world steel demand. Structures may it be houses, car parks, school, offices all rely on steel for strength. Steel during construction is used as cladding for exterior walls and roofs.

World population is rising continuously, the need for building structures will rise thus, leading to rising demand for steel in the construction industry. We also see rapid urbanization so need for buildings and infrastructure is rising worldwide. Consumption of natural resources and associated emissions have to reduce for future sustainability.

According to research, operation of building account for 28% of global carbon emissions. This gives opportunities for reducing emissions and mitigating climate change. Steel manufacturers are finding construction solutions that are energy efficient and are low carbon neutral.

Steel is affordable, readily available and safer. It provides strength to structures, versatile, durable and 100% recyclable allowing for improvement in environmental performance.

Advanced high strength steels utilized in steel plate applications are used in many related industries like rail carriages, nuclear, thermal and hydroelectric plants, civil engineering, etc. All these related applications benefit from the varied qualities of steel.

Steel used in buildings and infrastructure:

The usage of steel in buildings and infrastructure is wide. Let’s look at its applications:

Steel used in buildings:

• Sheet products: steel is used in sheet products like roofing, internal walls, cladding, ceilings, insulating panels for exterior walls.
• Reinforcing bars: they add tensile strength and stiffness to concrete and add upto 44% of steel utilized in construction of buildings. Steel binds well with concrete and has the same thermal expansion coefficient. It is strong and relatively cost effective as well. Reinforced concrete is used to give a deep foundation and basement.
• Structural sections: provide a strong, stiff frame to the building. They add upto 25% of the steel used while constructing a building.
• Steel used in non-structural applications: These include heating and cooling equipment and interior ducting.
• Steel is also used in fittings and internal fixtures such as rails, and stairs.

Steel used in infrastructure:

• Utilities like fuel, water power: most of the steel used for this application is in underground pipelines to distribute water to houses and distribute gas. The other applications are for power stations and pumping houses.
• Transport purpose: steel is needed for tunnels, rail tracks and bridges. It is also used in the construction of buildings like fuel stations, train stations, and airports.
