Lightweight Steel Construction Engineering and Project Design Services

The MUTO Steel Construction Lightweight Steel Project Group was established in Istanbul in 2009 to design static projects for all kinds of lightweight steel structure in Turkey and abroad.

It has designed many lightweight steel structures for projects with its experienced staff and its philosophy to create safe, economical, aesthetic and habitable spaces since then.

Adopting a human-oriented approach, MUTO Steel Construction fulfills the demands and requests of end users at the design stage, and provides consultancy services at the implementation stage.


VISION:

Following the latest technology to ensure happiness and satisfaction without compromising on engineering quality and ethical values.


MISSION:

Creating rational projects for the design and project efforts of all kinds of lightweight steel structure in Turkey and worldwide to contribute to the development of Turkey and its citizens.


Some types of structures that can be built by lightweight steel construction systems:

  • Lightweight Steel Warehouses
  • Lightweight Steel Workshops
  • Lightweight Steel Garages
  • Lightweight Steel Hangars
  • Lightweight Steel Barns
  • Lightweight Steel Mezzanines
  • Lightweight Steel Houses
  • Lightweight Steel Walls
  • Lightweight Steel Roof and Facade Systems
  • Special Lightweight Steel Structures
  • Lightweight Steel Purlin and Waler Systems

 

METHODOLOGY:

1. Lightweight Steel Architecture Project Design:

MUTO Steel Construction considers the duration and budget needs of individuals and organizations based on their spatial needs and tastes to offer the optimal solutions.

MUTO Steel Construction creates solutions based on its proprietary architectural projects or designs architectural projects based on your specifications with its experienced team of architects and engineers.

 

 

2. Static Project Design for Lightweight Steel:

There is a growing interest in lightweight steel structures in Turkey and worldwide. This makes it even more necessary to make static designs in compliance with domestic and global standards.

MUTO Steel Construction responds to this necessity by preparing static projects for installation of a frame based on optimal sections, examining the nodes of the members for static design and choosing the most appropriate type of connection according to the intended use based on architectural projects drawn by a qualified and trained team of architects and engineers.

 

We use the following software for such sizing, manufacturing and installation works:

  • STRAP
  • CFS
  • BRISCAD
  • AUTOCAD
  • SAP2000
  • ETABS
  • SAFE
  • Tekla Structures

 

Static calculation and sizing works should be done as per the following standards:

1) AISI –LRFD (American Iron and Steel Institute – Load and Resistance Factor Design) Specification of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members

2) AISI S100-2007 North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members

3) TS 11372 Design Rules of Cold-Formed Lightweight Profiles

4) EUROCODE CEN ENV 1993 Rules for Cold-Formed Thin Gauge Members and Sheetings

5) ASCE 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures

6) TS 498 Calculated Values of the Loads Taken for Sizing Structural Members

7) Earthquake Zone Construction Directive (2007)

8) TS 500-2000 Requirements for Design and Construction of Reinforced Concrete Structures (Foundations)

9) ASCE 32-01 Design and Construction of Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations, 2001

10) IRC, The International Residential Code


3) Manufacturing and Installation Drawings of Lightweight Steel Structures:


Manufacturing drawings are prepared based on the sections and details found by the static design. Installation and detail sheets showing how manufactured materials should be installed on site are prepared.
