Steel Box Columns

 

Box columns, also known as box steel columns or box section columns, are so named because they are shaped like a large iron box. They are one type of structural steel columns. Box columns are characterized by high bending stiffness and load-carrying capacity, and are commonly used in large-span bridges and gymnasiums.

 

 

1. Structural stability and good seismic performance.

Box columns have a regular cross-sectional shape and good overall stability. It is more stable than round steel columns and provides safer support for buildings.

2. High strength, excellent load-bearing capacity

Box section steel columns are generally manufactured from high-strength structural steel plates, capable of withstanding large loads and deformations.

3. Convenient construction

The fabrication and installation process of box section steel columns is simple and easy with relatively low material costs.

 

 

1. Structural Support in Buildings: Box steel columns are important load-bearing members of the building frame, providing superior stability.

2. Bridge Construction: In the field of bridges, box columns are often used as abutments or supports.

3. Infrastructure Projects: Infrastructure such as motorway overpasses, railway bridges,and tunnels will also play a non-negligible role.

4. Industrial Building: Applications in industrial buildings such as warehouses, factories, and manufacturing plants.

 

 

1. Materials: High-strength structural steel plates are usually used as the material for box steel columns.

2. Cutting process: The selected steel material is cut to the desired dimensions using cutting machines or shears.

3. Bending: The cut steel plate is processed into the required shape by cold or hot bending.

4. Welding: The formed steel plates need to be welded and connected.

5. Surface Treatment: After welding, the surfaces of the steel box column require special treatment to prevent oxidation and corrosion. Common treatments include painting and galvanizing.
