This Architectural Drawing of AutoCAD 2d drawing of Steel Frame structure top details. A steel structure is a metal structure which is made of structural steel components connected to each other to carry loads and provide rigidity. Because of the high strength of steel, these structures are reliable and require less raw material than some other types of structure such as concrete. In structural engineering and architecture, 'span' is the term given to the length of a structural component – eg beam, floor, roof or floor truss – that extends (or 'spans') between two supports.
