SYNOPSIS

This course introduces the uses and applications of lightweight steel framing in construction. In this session, we cover the benefits of steel frame and designing for robustness.

The evolving construction industry in Malaysia has opened new horizon and footprint in adoption of structural steel decking for composite concrete slab design in construction for mega high-rise towers and other commercial structures. Under the new Industrial 4.0 evolution, fast and accurate execution with timely deliverance being the main deciding factors for major construction players to adopt and adapt suitable profiles and materials for all new projects.
 
This is evident for construction of mega iconic skyscrapers using structural steel decking whereby the composite slab able to fast track the construction of multiple levels without waiting for curing period and eliminate the dismantling of formwork. With this concept, the structural steel decking plays a major role to fit in the Industrialised Building Systems (IBS) components criteria as permanent formwork and innovative system. As per government’s mandate for both public and private projects of certain values to achieve minimum IBS scoring, the adoption of structural steel decking matches the criteria perfectly and justly.
