The elimination of problems that arise during the construction stage of industrialised lightweight steel residences

Abstract

In this study, the main problems encountered during the production of lightweight steel systems are divided into two groups and analyzed. The first group includes problems arising due to material wastes in the production phase, inaccurate application of procedures by workers, shortcomings of the machines, lack of training, organization failure, delivery problems, inadequate protection of materials, etc. The second group covers issues such as heat insulation affecting usage of the structure, fire, sound, acoustic, corrosion problems, fire resistance, water tightness, etc. It is shown that productivity is raised where the difficulties of production steps are eliminated and production is simplified. Surveys should be conducted to develop controlled work flows and methods which can be applied continuously. © IDOSI Publications, 2013.
