Steel structure construction solves the dilemma of reducing steel production capacity, and the steel structure industry enters a period of rapid development. With the increasing environmental pressure, traditional concrete buildings are gradually being replaced by prefabricated buildings, and the steel structure industry has also entered a fast lane of development.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the 13th Five Year Plan for the steel industry - the "Steel Industry Adjustment and Upgrading Plan (2016-2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), highlighting hot topics such as "reducing production capacity, innovation, green building, transformation, and structural adjustment". The plan proposes a guiding goal of increasing the proportion of steel used in steel structures from 10% to over 25% of building steel, and calls for accelerating the promotion and application of steel structure buildings, striving to increase the amount of steel used in steel structures from the current 50 million tons to over 100 million tons.
At present, steel structures are mainly used in industrial factories and infrastructure in China. Before the peak of urbanization in 2020 and during the industrialization process, the demand for these two main areas will continue to grow. At present, although steel structure residential buildings in China are constrained by the increase in the price ratio of steel and cement, consumer habits, and architectural design systems, there is still a trend of positive and gradual improvement. Due to the rapid development of China's steel industry and the increasing emphasis on building energy conservation, the policy orientation of building technology in China has gradually shifted from restricting the use of steel structures many years ago to developing and promoting the application of steel structures. National industrial policies actively support the development of the steel structure industry.
