Features of the installation of half-timbered columns

Half-timbered columns are an integral part of building metal structures. They play a supporting role, allowing you to increase the level of reliability, durability and safety of the building. The half-timbers are the basis of the walls, and are also mounted in door and window openings, performing the function of supporting elements.

The use of half-timbered columns allows you to:

• To ensure the stability of the building structure and its stability;
• Make the metal structure resistant to strong gusts of wind and other negative natural factors;
• To cope with any kind of load on the structure - vertical and horizontal.

Installation of half-timbers

The installation of such supporting columns is a prerequisite for the construction of metal structures, the height of which starts from a mark of 30 m. It does not matter what technology the builders used in the process of erecting walls and floors designs.

In some cases, the installation of half-timbered columns should be carried out during the construction of brick buildings. Immediately before construction, specialists must calculate the level of load on the building and, if necessary, provide for the installation of additional supporting elements.

Also, their installation is mandatory in the case of construction of structures made of fragile metals, characterized by a high degree of flexibility. This is because aluminum or steel sheets cannot withstand heavy loads.

Benefits

Thanks to the use of half-timbered columns of building metal structures, almost any shape can be given. Therefore, these elements significantly expand the creative capabilities of designers, architects, designers and builders. Another indisputable advantage is that the dimensions of these columns are not limited to strict frames, and therefore they can be used in the construction process of large-scale facilities.

Installing support columns is a fairly simple process that a minimum number of builders can handle. Thus, the use of these elements can reduce the time for construction work and distribute responsibilities between employees at the facility.

The main material for the manufacture of half-timbered columns is steel channels - hot-rolled and cold-formed, I-beam type, profile pipes with a rectangular cross-section.
