is a roll formed metal strip that has been shaped into a tube or a U, J, or C shape for industrial and manufacturing use.
Example: The basic function of the metal channel is structural support within works that requires structures or reinforcements of great capacity for the support and distribution of large loads.
en: Es una tira de metal laminada que ha sido moldeada en un tubo o en forma de U, J o C para uso industrial y de fabricación.
Metal decking
Noun
Is a sheet of high-performance galvanised steel used in the construction of composite concrete floor slabs
Example: The combination of metal decking acting compositely with a concrete slab and a steel frame forms a lightweight, cost-effective floor construction that does not require the use of traditional formwork with props.
en: Es una lámina de acero galvanizado de alto desempeño utilizada en la construcción de losas de piso de concreto mixto
Metal Decking
Noun
In the construction industry, the term 'metal decking' covers all forms of the profiled steel sheeting commonly used together with concrete and steelwork to create a composite floor system or as a structural element to support a built-up roof system.
Example: Metal Decking
en: En la industria de la construcción, el término 'cubierta metálica' cubre todas las formas de láminas de acero perfiladas que se usan comúnmente junto con el concreto y el acero para crear un sistema de piso compuesto o como un elemento estructural para soportar un sistema de techo construido.
Metal Grating
Noun
Is a metal product produced by perforating metal sheets or joining bars of metal to form a grid. This product is widely used in various industries as stairs, platforms, scaffolding, and protective coverings.
Example: In its most common applications, metal gratings help keep workers and visitors safe in a facility, providing a stable floor base.
en: Es un producto de metal producido al perforar láminas de metal o unir barras de metal para formar una rejilla. Este producto es ampliamente utilizado en varias industrias como escaleras, plataformas, andamios y cubiertas protectoras.
Steel angle
Noun
Is a commercial profile that, as its name indicates, has an angular shape that is formed by two flat steel bars, which create a 90º degree angle with equal or unequal sides.
Example: The angles are manufactured mainly in carbon steel with a type of grade ASTM A-36 considered to be of high resistance.
en: Es un perfil comercial que como su nombre lo indica cuenta con una forma angular que se forma por dos barras planas de acero, que crean un ángulo de 90º grados con lados iguales o desiguales.
Steel beam
Noun
Is a structural steel product that is made to support heavy loads.
Example: Steel beams come in different sizes and types, hence their different applications in the construction of structures and buildings.
en: Es un producto de acero estructural que está hecho para soportar cargas pesadas.
Steel Framing
Noun
Steel framing is a construction system that uses cold-formed and galvanized steel profiles (steel frame) instead of wooden or aluminum beams as structural elements.
Example: If you don't want to miss your deadlines and blow your budget, then structural steel framing is the way to go.
en: El steel framing es un sistema de construcción que emplea perfiles de acero (steel frame en inglés) conformados en frío y galvanizados en vez de vigas de madera o aluminio como elementos estructurales.
Steel joist
NOUN
They are structural elements that support the constructive loads and transmit them to the vertical supporting elements (columns or walls).
Example: Steel beams are used in the construction industry because they have a flexural resistance that is of great importance, since they support the pillars from end to end.
en: Son elementos estructurales que soportan las cargas constructivas y las transmiten hacia los elementos verticales de sustentación (columnas o muros).
Steel member
Noun
Is a vertical structure member used in construction to provide essential support.
Example: When speaking of combined efforts, we refer to structural members subjected to bending loads, combined with tension or compression.
en: Es un elemento de estructura vertical que se utiliza en la construcción para brindar un soporte esencial.
Steel rod
Noun
Steel rods, called rebars, placed in the lower portion of a concrete slab prevent that slab from cracking when subjected to that tensile bending force.
Example: Stainless steel bars are used for their strength and corrosion resistance properties.
en: Las varillas de acero, llamadas barras de refuerzo, colocadas en la parte inferior de una losa de concreto evitan que la losa se agriete cuando se somete a esa fuerza de flexión por tracción.
