<strong>Structural</strong> <strong>for</strong>ms suitable <strong>for</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> HK6. Steel frame structure- build<strong>in</strong>g is lighter than usual RC structure due to therelative higher weight/strength ration of steel- construction cost is lower especially <strong>for</strong> build<strong>in</strong>gsadopt<strong>in</strong>g high level of standardization- build<strong>in</strong>g is weak <strong>in</strong> rigidity due to steel is a moreflexible (elastic) material when compare to RC- additional stiffen<strong>in</strong>g elements <strong>in</strong> the <strong>for</strong>m of<strong>in</strong>ternal/external trusses, out-rigger or brac<strong>in</strong>g membersare often required to make the build<strong>in</strong>g structure morerigid- addition work is required to fire-protect the steelstructure- build<strong>in</strong>g examples: The Center, Ch<strong>in</strong>a Bank Build<strong>in</strong>gExamples of build<strong>in</strong>g constructed <strong>in</strong> pure structural steel frame13
