Types of Compression Members in Steel Structures – Complete Guide

1. Steel Columns

Applications:

✔ High-rise buildings
✔ Industrial warehouses
✔ Bridge piers

Features:

  • H-section, Box, or Circular Hollow Sections (CHS)

  • Axial load capacity up to 5,000 kN

  • Fire-resistant coatings available

Why Choose LiYou Steel Columns?

✅ Custom sizes (up to 30m tall)
✅ Hot-rolled or welded fabrication
✅ CE & ISO certified materials


2. Struts (Diagonal/Tie Members)

Applications:

✔ Roof trusses
✔ Transmission towers
✔ Bracing systems

Features:

  • Angle, T-section, or tubular designs

  • Prevents buckling under compression

  • Lightweight yet high-strength

LiYou Advantages:

✅ Precision-cut for bolted/welded connections
✅ Galvanized for corrosion resistance


3. Stanchions (Heavy-Duty Columns)

Applications:

✔ Industrial plants (crane-support columns)
✔ Stadiums & airports

Features:

  • Built-up sections (plates & stiffeners)

  • Handles eccentric loading

  • Up to 10,000 kN capacity

Our Expertise:

✅ FEA-optimized designs
✅ Seismic-resistant detailing


4. Laced & Battened Columns

Applications:

✔ Long-span structures
✔ Power transmission towers

Features:

  • Two parallel members with lacing bars

  • Reduces weight while maintaining strength

Why LiYou?

✅ 30% material savings vs. solid columns
✅ Easy on-site assembly


5. Built-Up Members (Custom Shapes)

Applications:

✔ Architectural steel structures
✔ Specialized industrial frames

Features:

  • Combination of plates, angles, channels

  • Tailored for complex load cases

Our Capabilities:

✅ Laser-cutting for precision fits
✅ 3D modeling before fabrication


LiYou Steel’s Competitive Edge

✔ 15,000-ton/month production capacity
✔ 20+ years of compression member expertise
✔ Global certifications (CE, ISO, SGS)
✔ Just-in-time delivery worldwide

FAQ Section

Q: How do you prevent buckling in compression members?
A: We use stiffener plates, reduced slenderness ratios, and high-strength steel grades.

Q: Can you supply painted/galvanized compression members?
A: Yes! We offer hot-dip galvanizing (100μm+) and custom RAL colors.

Q: What’s your lead time for custom compression members?
A: 4-6 weeks for most orders (urgent projects in 2 weeks).
