First of all, steel structures deliver excellent seismic performance. Most low-rise villas adopt sloped roofs, which are commonly supported by triangular roof trusses made of cold-formed steel. Combined with light-gauge steel components and gypsum boards, they form an extremely stable structural system with strong earthquake resistance, making them ideal for earthquake-prone areas.

Secondly, the self-weight of steel structure buildings in Shandong is only one-fifth of that of brick-concrete structures. They can withstand wind speeds up to 70 meters per second and effectively reduce potential losses caused by strong winds.

Thirdly, this type of structure boasts outstanding durability. Proper treatments can effectively mitigate steel corrosion, extend the service life of steel components and prolong the overall lifespan of the building.

Fourthly, it features superior thermal insulation performance. For instance, a 100-millimeter-thick thermal insulation layer with a thermal resistance value of 15 is equivalent to a 1-meter-thick brick wall in heat insulation effect.

Fifthly, sound insulation is a key indicator for modern buildings. Steel structures provide great sound insulation, with a sound insulation effect of up to 40 decibels.

Sixthly, steel structure buildings are eco-friendly and healthy. They greatly cut down environmental pollution, and nearly all waste materials can be fully recycled, fully complying with environmental protection standards.

Seventhly, steel structure buildings in Shanghai offer great comfort and high construction efficiency. They help regulate indoor humidity, and the construction work can proceed efficiently with little impact from external environmental conditions.
