LIGHT STEEL STRUCTURES IN RESIDENTIAL HOUSE CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The application of light construction steel-framed living houses is increasing in Hungary. This new building technology came to the foreground because of the rapid development in the building industry, surely it has a lot of advantages from the technological point of view, which meet all the requirements these days. But it is more important beside the points of view mentioned above that the construction of these buildings protects the natural environment, and suits the standpoints of sustainable development and guarantees a healthy environment for the users for the whole lifespan of the building. In the following paper I will justify the existence of light, steel-framed constructioned building system in the residental housing with the points mentioned above. This article is connected to my Ph.D. thesis under preparation. (Supervisor: Dr. Mária Széll, University Professor.)
