What is a Steel Structure Warehouse building?
A steel structure warehouse is an industrialized building constructed by industrialized prefabrication and modular assembly with steel as the main load-bearing structure. Its core structure adopts high-strength steel beams, steel columns and other components, with color steel plates, sandwich panels and other enclosure materials to form a complete building system.
Steel structure warehouse building has the following significant features:
1、With standardized design, all steel components are prefabricated in the factory, and only bolt connection is required on site, so the construction speed is relatively fast.
2、Steel has high strength, good elasticity and plasticity, and can withstand larger loads and pressure. Moreover, this kind of building can realize a large span of 30-60 meters without column space, which greatly improves the utilization rate of storage.
3、 The density of steel is relatively low, and compared with materials such as concrete, it has a lighter weight, which can reduce the bearing pressure of the foundation and foundation.
4、Steel structure components can be reused, reducing the generation of construction waste. Meanwhile, the energy consumption during construction is less, which meets the requirements of green building.
5、After the steel is processed, it has better fireproof and anticorrosion performance, which can prolong the service life of the building.
From the perspective of application scenarios, steel structure warehouses are widely used in logistics centers, industrial workshops, warehouses, etc. Its flexible design can also meet future expansion needs by increasing the number of spans or extending the length at the end to achieve flexible expansion of storage capacity.

Common types of portal steel frames in prefabricated warehouses
Portal steel frame structure is a traditional structural system. This type of structure is a single-story structure. The column spacing is free and flexible, which can meet the construction and utilization requirements under different climatic conditions. They are usually used in warehouses, workshops and other places that require low cost and large open space.
Portal steel frame structure can be designed as single-span, double-span, multi-span and other forms according to actual needs. How to choose the right frame structure? You need to consider the building width, height and local dynamic load factors such as wind load and snow load. You can contact us, our professional team can calculate and recommend the most suitable type of portal steel frame for you. If your building needs to be equipped with a crane, we also offer integrated crane building solutions adapted to cranes.
Core Components of the Prefabricated Warehouse Building
The structural integrity and durability of prefabricated warehouse buildings depend on the ratio of a series of high-performance materials and engineering elements:
- Steel columns: Made of Q355B welded H-shaped steel to ensure excellent load-bearing capacity and toughness.
- Main beams and platform beams: Made of Q355B welded H-shaped steel to provide necessary support for the roof system and mezzanine.
- Roof and wall supports: Made of Q235B round steel components to enhance lateral stability and wind resistance.
- Tie rods: Made of Q235B welded tubes to enhance the overall rigidity of the structure.
- Purlins and wall beams: Lightweight and strong, made of thin-walled Z-shaped and C-shaped Q235B steel, respectively.
- Tie rods: Additional Q235B round steel components to reinforce portal frame components.
- Wall panels: Usually made of 0.5 mm corrugated color steel sheets, with excellent weather resistance and durability. Sandwich panels can be selected if there are specific environmental requirements.
- Roof panels: There are many construction methods. Usually 0.5mm thick color steel corrugated board is used, which is cost-effective. There are two other ways, one is to use glass wool + color steel corrugated sheet, and the other is to use sandwich roof panel.

Advantages of prefabricated steel structure warehouses
- Because the steel structure column area is small and the indoor space area occupied is small, compared with the space area occupied by the traditional reinforced concrete structure column, the indoor space separation is somewhat hindered, and the use of steel structure to build a warehouse is the most ideal solution.
- The steel structure is not only lightweight, high strength, good plasticity, and toughness, so steel components can be processed to produce different shapes of components. The quality and shape of the structure meet the requirements of customers. The construction week of the steel structure is short, which can reduce the investment cost accordingly. The steel components can be processed in the factory, which can reduce the steps of on-site construction and production. The steel components processed in the factory have high strength and meet the standards of building construction.
- The material of the steel structure building is environmentally friendly, and the installation is simple and convenient. The building structure that does not need to be re-used can also be rebuilt by demolishing. Moreover, construction and demolition have little impact on the surrounding environment and will not have much impact on the surrounding environment. The materials can be Recycled and reused, reduce the waste of materials and save resources. Steel components have their own advantages, and they can have different properties when used in buildings in various industries.
The Design of Steel Warehouse Buildings
Steel warehouse building design is crucial in the whole project. A variety of factors should be fully considered when designing the steel structure warehouse:
1、Clarify the use requirements and functional requirements of the warehouse. According to the required storage capacity of the warehouse and the characteristics of the goods, determine the overall scale and layout of the warehouse. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider factors such as cargo access, warehouse management, safety and protection, and make reasonable arrangements and planning in the design.
2、Choose a suitable warehouse structure to ensure the load-bearing capacity and stability of the warehouse. In the columns, beams, purlins and other structural components of the selection and design, should be based on the use of warehouse requirements and load characteristics of a reasonable choice. Ensure the strength and stability of the structure. At the same time, in the design process, external forces such as earthquakes, snow loads, and wind loads must also be considered, and corresponding design measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the warehouse.
3、Choose high-quality materials. In the choice of building materials, should be selected with good performance, reliable quality steel. Steel has high strength, corrosion resistance, construction convenience and other characteristics, can effectively enhance the service life of the warehouse and the overall quality. In addition, attention should be paid to fire prevention and anti-corrosion treatment to ensure the safety of steel structure warehouses during use.
4、Make detailed design drawings. Design drawings include two categories: structural drawings and construction drawings. The structural drawings mainly show the overall framework of the steel structure warehouse building. It lists in detail the size of each structural component, material, connection details, layout of each component and other detailed information about the structure. The construction drawings provide clear construction guidelines for the builder. They describe how these structural steel components will be assembled and connected, covering every detail from the foundation to the roof installation. The accuracy of the shop drawings has a direct impact on the progress and quality of the project and ensures that all phases of the project run smoothly.
