Abstract

On June 27, the “Shanghai Steel Structure Technology Exchange and Closed-Door Supply-Demand Development Forum,” hosted by Shanghai Steel Union E‑Commerce Co., Ltd. and co-organized by the Prefabricated Construction Branch of the China Metallurgical Materials Circulation Association, was successfully held in Shanghai. The forum brought together over 50 experts from the prefabricated steel structure sector and representatives of supply-chain companies to discuss cutting-edge technologies and development trends in the prefabricated construction industry, as well as the prospects for new products such as non‑removable truss floor decking.

On June 27, the “Shanghai Steel Structure Technology Exchange and Closed-Door Supply-Demand Development Forum,” hosted by Shanghai Steel Union E‑Commerce Co., Ltd. and co-organized by the Prefabricated Construction Branch of the China Association for Metal Materials Circulation, was successfully held in Shanghai. The forum brought together over 50 experts from the prefabricated steel structure sector and representatives of supply-chain companies to discuss cutting-edge technologies and development trends in the prefabricated construction industry, as well as the prospects for new products such as non‑removable truss floor decking.

The forum was chaired by Wan Chao, Assistant General Manager of the Construction Steel Division at Shanghai Steel Union. He emphasized the crucial role of prefabricated construction in advancing green development and enhancing efficiency in the building industry, and expressed an optimistic outlook for the sector’s future.

Shanghai Ganglian’s coating and galvanizing analyst, Yong Nanchuan, delivered a keynote speech titled “Operating Dynamics of Sheet Metal and Industry Outlook for the Coating and Galvanizing Sector.” Drawing on comprehensive data and years of industry experience, he analyzed and interpreted the price trends of mainstream sheet metal in the first half of the year and the market outlook for the second half, offering prudent recommendations regarding potential price fluctuations.

Deng Mingke, Director of the Institute of High-Ductility Composite Materials at Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology, presented a paper titled “Application Analysis of a New Non-Removable Steel Truss Decking Technology in Steel Structure Projects.” He outlined the three stages of development in China’s construction industry and described the characteristics of the upcoming third stage along with its key challenges. In this third phase, the research and rational application of high‑ductility composite materials will be crucial. These new materials offer significant improvements over current products in flexural toughness, fracture mechanics, and damage tolerance, while also providing corrosion resistance and blast protection. He reviewed the features and drawbacks of several generations of steel truss decking systems used in steel structures, highlighting the four main advantages of the latest composite decking. He concluded that the successful development of these new materials and their practical implementation not only provide concrete support for the advancement of the prefabricated construction sector but also chart a clear course for technological innovation and industrial upgrading within the industry.

During the Q&A and discussion session, participants not only raised questions about the various features of the new non‑removable floor deck product but also shared insights on the current state of the floor deck market and the industry’s pressing challenges.

Liu Yi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Zhongjin Association Prefabricated Building Branch, summarized the event. He said: “2024 will be a year in which the branch continues to deepen its services. The Secretariat will do its utmost to seize the policy window for promoting prefabricated construction and green, energy‑efficient buildings across regions, guided by the development of new productive forces, and will promote active complementarity between upstream and downstream sectors of the industrial chain. At the same time, the branch will work with Shanghai Ganglian’s Construction Steel Division to plan and organize a variety of activities to advance effective cooperation and resource matching among member enterprises.” (08)
