EVALUATION OF ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF STRUCTURAL MATERIALS IN INDUSTRIAL FACTORY CONSTRUCTION

In industrial factory construction, the choice of structural materials plays a key role in ensuring safety, functionality, construction progress, and the long-term economic efficiency of the project. Each type of structural material brings different mechanical properties, construction processes, investment costs, and adaptability to the actual operating conditions of the factory.

This article analyzes and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of three popular structural solutions today: steel structures, reinforced concrete (RC) structures, and composite structures, providing a comprehensive perspective for consulting units, designers, investors, and construction engineers in the material selection process.

1. Steel Structures

Advantages:

Fast construction: Components are fabricated in the factory and transported to the site for quick assembly, significantly shortening construction time.
Lightweight: Reduces load on foundations, saving costs on underground works.
Large span: Easily creates column-free spaces over 30–40 meters wide.
Flexible for renovation and expansion: Easy to upgrade, disassemble, and rearrange factory layout.
High industrialization: Meets stable quality standards from steel manufacturing plants.

Disadvantages:

Poor fire resistance: Requires fireproofing treatment by paint or protective coatings.
Higher material cost compared to concrete: Especially when steel prices fluctuate strongly.
Requires regular maintenance: Needs periodic anti-corrosion painting, especially in humid, dusty, or chemical environments.

2. Reinforced Concrete (RC)

Advantages:

High compressive strength: Suitable for heavy load-bearing or high vibration environments.
Good fire resistance: No additional fireproofing required.
Reasonable material cost: Especially where local construction material sources are available.
Long lifespan with minimal maintenance: If constructed and maintained properly.

Disadvantages:

Slow construction: Requires time for pouring, curing, and formwork removal.
Difficult to change function or expand: Fixed structure, inflexible.
Heavy weight: Increases foundation and transportation costs.
Quality control depends on skilled workforce: Difficult to ensure without experienced construction teams.

3. Composite Structures (Steel + Concrete)

Advantages:

Optimizes benefits of both materials: Steel used for roofs, beams, and large spans; concrete used for foundations and columns—ensuring speed and stability.
Optimized investment cost: Saves costs compared to full steel frame.
Flexible design: Can allocate structural parts suitable for each functional zone.

Disadvantages:

More complex design and construction: Requires coordination between two structural systems, joint control, and load compatibility.
High construction management demands: To avoid discrepancies between assembly and concrete pouring phases.

4. Summary Comparison

Criterion	Steel Structure	Reinforced Concrete	Composite Structure
Construction speed	Very fast	Slow	Medium
Initial investment cost	Higher	Lower	Medium
Expandability/renovation	High	Low	High
Fire resistance	Poor, needs treatment	Good	Depends on part
Self-weight	Light	Heavy	Medium
Long-term durability	Good (needs maintenance)	Very good	Good
Suitable projects	Light factories, logistics	Heavy industry, fire-risk	Industrial complexes

Choosing structural materials for industrial factory construction should consider multiple factors: purpose, load, operation requirements, construction schedule, and budget.

Steel structures suit modern factories requiring fast schedules, large spans, and flexible expansion.
Reinforced concrete fits heavy industries needing fire resistance, high stability, and heavy loads.
Composite structures are increasingly popular, especially for multi-functional projects, optimizing cost and technical performance.

A comprehensive evaluation and suitable structural design from the early stages help investors minimize risks and optimize long-term operational efficiency.

SHALLOW FOUNDATION SOLUTIONS FOR FACTORIES ON WEAK SOIL

09/07/2025

In industrial construction projects, especially factory buildings, the foundation plays a crucial role in ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the structure. In Vietnam, many industrial zones are planned on areas with weak soil conditions such as soft clay, silt, or silty sand, which increases the risk of settlement, tilting, and structural damage if an appropriate foundation solution is not implemented. In practice, shallow foundations are often prioritized due to their low construction costs, ease of implementation, and suitability for structures with moderate loads, such as factories. However, to apply shallow foundations on weak soil, appropriate technical treatment solutions must be used to enhance bearing capacity and ensure long-term structural stability.
