CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSES AND COTTAGES ON THE LSTK FRAME TECHNOLOGY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CONSTRUCTION FROM WOODEN DESIGNS

The research of the light steel thin-walled structures (LSTS) is a hot topic today which takes root into the construction industry of Russia more and more. But unfortunately, extensive distribution of designs from a thin-walled profile of the Russian production is complicated considerably because of imperfection of domestic regulatory and methodical bases by calculation of LSTS, lack of proper instructions for installation and operation, sufficient experience of designing of similar designs. For this reason in our country apartment houses and cottages from wooden designs are generally designed. The main benefits of construction of buildings from LSTS are given in this article, and also various researches of the russian and foreign authors in the field of thin-walled designs are considered.
