Steel to the Sky – Post 3 Earthquake? Steel is Ready.

Steel to the Sky – Part 3 Earthquake? Steel is Ready. When the ground shakes, brittle materials shatter without warning. Steel doesn’t fight the quake; it dances with it. Thanks to its natural ductility, the frame can bend, stretch, and soak up massive seismic energy – turning what would be destructive forces into controlled, survivable movement. Instead of sudden collapse, you get predictable deformation and those precious extra seconds to get people out. That’s why properly engineered steel structures: – Absorb and redistribute seismic loads –

PEB Knowledge – Part 1: Tapered Steel for Smarter Spans Building Stronger & More Efficiently

At Kirby Southeast Asia, one of the key advantages of Pre-Engineered Buildings lies in the use of built-up tapered steel sections – a smarter, more efficient alternative to conventional hot-rolled sections. In PEB design, built-up members are formed by welding steel plates into an I-section whose depth can be varied along the span. This allows engineers to place material exactly where strength is needed, resulting in a lighter yet stronger structure. Why Built-Up Sections Matter  Optimized material usage – thicker where the bending

Castellated beams

At Kirby Southeast Asia, we specialize in designing and supplying steel pre-engineered buildings and structures, employing cutting-edge solutions like castellated beams. A castellated beam contains a regular and recurring pattern of hexagonal holes. The pattern is cut lengthwise across two halves, offset, and then welded together to form a single extended beam. This innovative design enhances the beam’s strength-to-weight ratio and offers a myriad of advantages: ✔ Supports long span. ✔ Less deflection. ✔ MEP ducts and pipes can be installed through the web
