BridgesBridges
Bridges are a general term for structures built to cross rivers, valleys, straits, etc. Among them, those using H beams for their beam structure are called H steel bridges. Excellent features of H steel bridges include high load-bearing capacity, freedom in structure, easy maintenance and repair, and short-term construction. They are adopted throughout the country.

Steel towersSteel towers
Electricity is essential for our life. Transmission lines intended to stably deliver electricity across Japan are supported by steel towers. In the construction of steel towers, Our company’s equal-leg angles play an active role. In addition, JFE Bars & Shapes’ equal-leg angles are adopted in large numbers for communication towers, which support communication for smartphones.

High-rise buildingsHigh-rise buildings
The taller the building, the larger and more rigid the required fundamental structure becomes. In reinforced concrete, which represents a majority of fundamental structures of buildings, a large number of reinforcing steel bars are used. In addition, reinforcing steel bars are products that are used most commonly for upper members such as columns and beams. Materials with different components and properties are used according to the nature of the building. Reinforcing steel bars are a steel product essential for buildings.

ExpresswaysExpressways
Expressways are constructed mostly in environments other than level ground such as tunnels and elevated bridges in order to reduce curves and facilitate driving. The piers supporting elevated bridges and the walls of tunnels are mainly composed of concrete. Many reinforcing steel bars are used inside the concrete. With a robust structure using a number of thick and high-strength reinforcing steel bars, they support the safety of people driving on roads.

ZoosZoos
Reinforcing steel bars are used not only in huge structures. They are also used in buildings familiar to us, such as distribution warehouses, factories, residences, and stores. For example, the elephant house in Sapporo Maruyama Zoo located in Sapporo City is a building that uses our reinforcing steel bars. They support the elephants weighing three tons on average every day. Our company’s reinforcing steel bars may play a major role in your holiday destination.

Thanks to tunnels of roads and railroads, we can move conveniently without climbing or descending mountains. “H steel support” supports tunnels so that they do not collapse due to a load applied from above. H beams are processed into shapes suitable for the situation such as an arch to support the outer wall.
