Steel Framing

A steel frame consists of a skeleton frame structure comprising of horizontal I-beams and vertical steel columns fitted in a rectangular grid building construction to brace the floors, walls, and the roof of the building held onto the frame. Due to the implementation of this methodology, the construction of the skyscrapers was feasible.
