Application of Components in Construction

In the construction industry, structural components play an essential role in the formation of works from industrial factories to civil works. Understanding the characteristics and classification of structural components, along with their practical applications, helps contractors make choices that suit the requirements of each project. This not only ensures safety but also increases the life of the project. Let's learn about the concept of construction components and explore the common types of components in this field through the following article.

What is a structure?

Construction components is a familiar term in the construction industry, used to refer to basic components separated from the reinforced concrete structure or steel structure of a building. These components play an important role in many activities, from measuring and calculating the bearing force, internal and external forces, to assessing external impacts that can affect the durability and structure of the building.

Calculating components is an essential step, requiring high precision from contractors and architects. This ensures that the connections in the construction are always solid, stable, meeting safety and sustainability requirements throughout the use process.

Main types of components in construction

In the construction industry, structures are often made up of four main groups of components, each playing an important role in ensuring stability and sustainability:

1. Bending member
   This is the most common type of structural member, often used in the construction of components such as beams, stairs and floors. These components are capable of withstanding bending or bending forces, ensuring flexibility for the construction.
2. Compressive member
   This type of member is often used in columns, beams and arches. They bear axial compressive force (N), helping to support loads from above. Compression members are divided into two main types: central compression and eccentric compression, suitable for each specific design.
3. Tensile member
   Tensile members are commonly used in tensile trusses, tension trusses of liquid storage domes, suspensions, silos, bunkers, and pressure vessels. They are classified into central tensile and eccentric tensile, which help to meet different engineering requirements in construction.
4. Torsionally resistant member
   This type of member is often combined with a bending member to increase the ability to withstand complex forces. They are used in horizontal load-bearing columns placed far from the axis, one-sided connecting beams or crossbeams holding perpendicular beams. In a torsional member, tensile and compressive stresses are formed at a 45-degree angle, ensuring the stability of the structure.

Application of components in construction

Application of components in roof construction

In the roof system of a building, the main components take on the role of bearing the force along the length of the roof, ensuring firmness and stability.

• Auxiliary components arranged between the slopes of the roof, connected to the diaphragm system, creating a tight connection in the roof frame.
• Mè are smaller components, whose function is to connect with the main beam, in the order of beam - main beam - battens, to increase the rigidity of the entire roof structure.
• Roofing materials Often used as screen bricks – a type of terracotta brick popular in traditional wooden houses, or dragon scale tiles – to help prevent leaks and reduce thermal impact in areas with heat-rich clay soil.

Application of components in traditional wooden houses

The frame of a traditional wooden house, with a focus on the column, plays a role in bearing the compressive force from the beam or rafters to the floor, ensuring the stability of the house. Common types of columns include:

• Main column: The main columns are located at both ends, creating a central space.
• Sub-column: Is a secondary column placed at the beginning of the span. The number of secondary columns can be increased if the roof is steeper.
• Awning Column: Often found in old houses, these columns are placed on the front and back porches, helping to support the porch roof.

The system of beams or components that connect columns together, including:

• Big snake (lower snake): Connect the main columns at the top.
• Beam on column: Link the sub-column in the upper frame.
• Crossbar: Runs parallel to the length of the house, attached to the top of the main column.
• Beam under the column: Link the bottom of the sub-columns.
• Porch: Connect the entire porch frame.
• Bronze beam: Is the beam on the top of the roof.

Application of steel components in pre-engineered steel buildings

In pre-engineered steel buildings, steel components such as column, beam, truss, purlin… are widely used due to their good load-bearing capacity and ability to meet large span requirements. These characteristics make steel structures an ideal choice for modern factory and industrial buildings.

• In Steel Buildings, columns and trusses are often designed in the form of H, truss, or round columns. For beams, I, H, box beams, etc. are often used.
• Steel purlins are often used in the shape of C, Z, etc. In addition, the distance between purlins must be from 1m - 1,5m and must be connected to the main frame to support the corrugated iron roof system above.
• Many steel structure auxiliary bracing in house construction production procedure plays a role in increasing the connection ability and ensuring stability during the installation of steel structures.
