       1. Crane lifting weight: Heavy steel structure ≥ 25 tons

  2. Steel consumption per square meter: Heavy steel structure ≥ 50KG/M2

  3. Component steel plate thickness: Heavy steel structure ≥ 10MM

  4. Special application areas: Petrochemical plant facilities, power plant buildings, large-span sports venues, exhibition centers, high-rise or super high-rise steel structures must be heavy steel structures. Lightweight roofs, lightweight exterior walls, and lightweight enclosures are commonly used in light steel structures for general factory buildings.

  5. Previous data reference: The cost per square meter of heavy steel structure is higher than that of light steel structure. The weight of large components in heavy steel structure is much more obvious. Large span, structural form, and eave height are also important data comparisons to distinguish between light and heavy steel structures.
