Choosing to build a steel kit home provides you with a wonderful investment. When you build with steel framed systems, you have better energy efficiency, superior strength, a non-combustible material and less maintenance required. That alone makes steel kit homes a preferred method in turning an old shed house into the ideal home. The great thing about doing this is that it does not cost as much as you might believe. For example, in many cases you can get a pre-built shell that costs less than…
be built in America. Carnegie has no idea how to build it so he looks for advice from Keystone bridge builders. He decided to use steel, a relatively new material to the time. It was extremely expensive and hard to mass produce tho, no one have ever tried to use steel to build such a large structure. A English inventor has created a way to reduce the time to produce steel from two weeks to 15 minutes. The bridge is extremely off schedule and the cost was rising very high. When the bridge is…

The use of the steel frame structure in residential buildings has grown in the recent years due to the appreciation of the performance benefits, such as speed of construction, lightness of the material, safety, fire resistance, environmental benefits, such as reusability. The residential steel frame buildings, e.g. student accommodations, have benefits prior to other materials in terms of construction. Steel can be highly prefabricated, has spans of 5-7m (urban residential projects), with…
onclusion: In conclusion, from completing the experiment it is shown that the galvanised nails are the best option to use when slowing down corrosion. The amount of corrosion on the iron nails are very similar with all solutions. However, the hydrochloric acid had bubbles forming on the iron nail, thus don’t know how it will react overtime. The results do support the hypothesis stated, as the iron nails corroded faster than the galvanised nails and the difference in the amount of corrosion in…
