Abstract

Abstract: Structural Steel is a typical building material utilised in the building sector. Its main function is to serve as the framework for the structure i.e, the portion of the structure that keeps everything else in place. Steel is 100% recyclable, making it one of the greenest materials available. This study conducts a comparative analysis and design of an industrial building, evaluating the sustainability implications of employing hot-rolled and cold-formed steel sections. Examining mechanical properties, life cycle environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness, the research aims to provide insights into the structural and environmental benefits of each section type. By optimizing the integration of hot-rolled and cold-formed sections, the study seeks to enhance overall sustainability, considering factors such as energy consumption and material efficiency. Through case studies, this research offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of how the combined use of these sections can contribute to environmentally conscious and resource-viable industrial building design. The findings aim to inform industry professionals, architects, and engineers about making sustainable choices in the construction process.
