ES At Aceros MAPA, we have been providing the highest quality steel solutions for the industrial and construction sectors for more than 80 years. We know that steel structural elements are essential to ensure safety, stability and efficiency in any project. From skyscrapers to bridges and industrial structures, steel is the material of choice for its durability and versatility.
In this article, we will explain the main structural steel elements, their benefits and why Aceros MAPA is the ideal partner for your construction.
What are steel structural elements?
Structural steel elements are components designed to support loads and distribute stresses in a building. Their strength and flexibility make buildings safer and more efficient. These elements can be used in all types of projects, from housing to large-scale infrastructure.
Among the elements most commonly used in construction, we find:
-
1. Steel beams
Beams are fundamental elements that support and distribute loads on roofs, floors and bridges. At Aceros MAPA we offer beams in different formats, such as I-beams and H-beams, which are ideal for supporting heavy weights without compromising the structure. -
2. Structural columns
Steel columns provide vertical support in buildings and are key to the stability of any construction. Their load-bearing capacity and compressive strength make them indispensable in high-rise structures. -
3. Structural profiles
Steel profiles, such as U-profiles, angles and channels are used to reinforce structures and ensure their strength. They are highly versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, from structural frames to machinery supports. -
4. Structural piping
Steel pipes are ideal for the construction of light but strong structures. They are used in railings, metal frames and support systems, offering an efficient and aesthetic solution. -
5. Steel plates and sheets
Steel plates and sheets are used in roofs, facades and structural reinforcements. At Aceros MAPA we have sheets in different thicknesses and finishes, guaranteeing solutions adapted to each project.
Advantages of steel structural elements
The use of steel in construction offers multiple benefits. At Aceros MAPA, we ensure that our products meet the highest quality standards, providing advantages such as:
-
1. High resistance and safety
Steel has one of the best strength-to-weight ratios, allowing for leaner and more efficient structures without compromising safety. Our products are designed to withstand extreme loads and stand the test of time. -
Design flexibility
Structural steel elements allow great freedom of design. Whether to build skyscrapers, bridges or structures with innovative geometries, steel is the ideal material. -
Faster construction
Unlike other materials, steel allows for faster construction, since its components can be prefabricated and assembled efficiently. This reduces costs and minimizes the impact on construction time. -
4. Sustainability and recyclability
Steel is a 100% recyclable material, which makes it a sustainable option for construction. At Aceros MAPA, we promote the use of recycled steel and environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. -
5. Low maintenance and long service life
Structural steel elements require minimal maintenance and retain their properties for decades. Their resistance to corrosion and climatic changes makes them ideal for any type of environment.
