Introduction
The materials that usually used for construction such as reinforced concrete, timber, brick, and also steel. In Malaysia, the steel has been used especially for the construction of electric tower, industrial building (factory), roof truss, bridge and more. However, the usage of steel for residential is limited because their usage depends on the accompany with the other material. Steel framed structures are designed with the connections between the separate members treated as either non-rigid or fully rigid joints. The frame consists of horizontal beams in both direction and vertical columns called stanchions, usually all standard rolled sections of various sizes, joined together by welding or by bolts with cleats to form a stiff to which the feet of the stanchions are bolted. All the steel members are commonly encased with concrete or other suitable material to which reference has already been made. The thickness depending on the degree of fire resistance required Today, improved fabrication and erections techniques combined with the advanced analytical techniques made possible by computers have permitted the use of steel in just about any rational structural system for tall buildings.

Comparison between types of structures (Steel, in-situ, precast) STEEL | CONCRETE | PRECAST | Strength Pre engineered steel buildings are stable, resistant and possess intensely hard material strength. The primary structural component of a steel building is steel, a metal alloy of soft iron and carbon. The carbon content in steel determines its degree of hardness or softness of the alloy. Steel is one of the most extensively used alloys that have found one more usage in the sphere of building and construction. As an alloy its profitable quality can be attributed to its tenacity, structural strength and unparalleled resistance to corrosion, rusting and other general deterioration. | Strength If we look for safety, the building core of
