Steel in low-rise building, a symbiosis of cold-formed sections and light rolled profiles

Objective

Steel starts to be used in housing and low-rise buildings and this new way of building seems to have quite interesting future prospects. Several concepts for steel housing have been developed involving flat and long products. This project aims at selecting relevant economical solutions from existing building concepts and hence developing a symbiosis of cold-formed sections and hot rolled profiles. These developments will be done in different-fields of the building as well as in the load bearing structure and the roof structure. The project should also deal with the installation of the electric equipment, heating equipment, the water supply and all required technical services as well as certain system of insulation. This demonstration project will show that a suitable combination of all building components leads to logical, aesthetic and hence optimised and economical solutions.
