Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel in Rural Buildings in China

Abstract

In 2017, with the proposal of the rural revitalization strategy, the vast rural areas in China ushered in great development. A large number of rural construction projects began to be launched. At the same time, with the continuous development of rural society and economy, people have higher and higher requirements for the construction of rural buildings. Traditional building materials have been difficult to meet the needs of rapid construction and building comfort. People began to explore the application of new building materials in rural construction. Cold-formed thin-walled steel is gradually popularized and applied in rural buildings because of its characteristics and advantages. The article first summarizes the main characteristics of cold-formed thin-walled steel. It then analyzes and compares it with the characteristics of traditional Chinese main rural building materials. Then, the advantages of the prefabricated cold-formed thin-walled light-weight steel structure buildings constructed by cold-formed thin-walled steel are summarized. The conclusion is drawn that the prefabricated cold-formed thin-walled light-weight steel structure buildings will become the main trend of the future development of rural buildings in China.
