1. Members are light in weight.
2. Sections have High strength and stiffness.
3. The erection and installation procedure is very easy.
4. The conventional connection methods like riveting, bolting or welding can be used.
5. The construction process does not need any kind of formwork.
6. The desired shape and desired length are obtained by prefabrication process.
7. The transportation cost is lower as the lightweight sections are available.
8. The recycling of this type of material is possible easily.
9. The termite-proof and rot proof sections are prefabricated.
10. As compared to the hot rolled section the greater moment carrying capacity is possible due to the thinner wall sections
