"But just"/"Why don't you just?" is not always the magic solve you think it is, boomers

Feeling a little disheartened today by the way that my mum point-blank refuses to acknowledge structural barriers. And I do think it is at least partially a generational thing.

The thing about the deck being stacked against you that has the most impact, and that certain folk of a certain age seem unable to put together is that...

You reach a point in your life, or in your career, or in your day to day financial situation where not only is there no magical solution, there are also no good options.

And it's the kind of situation where it's not the case where there are no good options because you, the individual, made mistakes or burned bridges or wasted your starting out nest egg or your initial savings so you have only yourself to blame - or even where if you just reduced your basic outgoings down several levels you'd be able to build a nest egg (back) up in order to give yourself more options again... There just aren't any good options from the jump.

Recent solves my mum has put to me as if I'm not an adult, in my 30s, living independently in another country from her with over 10 years' working experience, include:

Why don't you just get a higher paying job?

Why don't you get a pension?

Why don't you buy a house?

Why don't you move further away from your work (and your established community and the amenities you rely on) so you can buy a house?

The undertone implication is a) that we haven't already considered all the options before us, done the calculations and concluded that (unfortunately, as if it worked out it would be helpful) it isn't viable right now, and b) that by not doing these things you are somehow deliberately crafting your own misery and setting yourself up for more hardship, instead of the reality that we are making the best of what's available to us within the system that is how our generation are asked to live and exist.

I don't 'just get a higher paying job' because the structural barriers are my lack of education and my lack of social connections among the higher strata of the demographic that, by their wealth-funded access to as many qualifications as they would like to pay for, and by being able to buy the time to complete them, holds a monopoly on hiring. That's something that's come from making education something available to the highest bidder, rather than grant-funded and obtainable by anyone with the capacity to qualify for the course.

I don't have a pension (right now) because I can't afford one. The minimum contribution that I can make by law to a pension is 10% of my income a month, and I can't afford to lose an extra 10% of my income when I'm already paying around that out of my salary to a student loan with compound interest that was sold to me as a loan that wouldn't have compound interest added. I'm also paying 50%+ of my income per month on housing alone, and more on bills. Where am I supposed to find more? And of course, if my salary goes up, so too does the amount I'm meant to pay back the student loan.

I don't buy a house because I can't afford one, despite saving for a deposit for several years. Unfortunately, Liz Truss crashed the economy last year and as a result, the banks don't offer mortgages as high as they used to, and require larger deposits for properties. As such the amount that I have saved up might have been enough to put down a healthy deposit two years ago, but now, isn't. And I can't save any more because of the aforementioned draws on my income above.

And if I was to move further afield to buy a house, what's the benefit to me? I'd have to spend more money on my commute, I'd probably have to live in a much less safe area, and it's going to be cold comfort to me that I own a property if I end up getting assaulted or stabbed on my way home at night.

Trust me, I would love to live in an era where I didn't have to overthink these basics. Where the fact that I have a college degree and multiple years of specialised work experience across multiple sectors including private business and government would actually count for something and afford me a solid and stable standard of living.

But it doesn't any more. And this is my life, and the lives of many of us nowadays. And we can't just sit and mope about it, we have to accept it, and adapt, and do the best we can to keep going until something gets a little easier for us, until the luck of the draw rolls our way or until someone with the power and ability through government or big business to effect a real change takes that shot and acts to make things just that bit less bleak for us.

Until then, a little empathy wouldn't hurt instead of a lecture.

The industrial buildings such as godowns and factory floors are often low rise structures with few or none internal walls. In such buildings, special Care needs to be taken while designing industrial roof trusses, since large spans need to support the entire roofing system without intermittent support. Trusses with roof covering materials make up of the entire roofing assembly here.

What are Trusses?

Trusses are triangular formation of metal sections, usually used to span large lengths in space instead of solid girders. The external load apply mostly axial forces on the members in a truss. Depending upon how the force is applied, trusses can be designed in the following two ways:

Plane Trusses: where the external load is placed on the plane of the truss.

Space Trusses: where the external load can be applied to any three-dimensional space within.

How are Trusses Built?

Trusses mostly consist of axially loaded members to support loads. The reason for this that when steel members are subjected to axial forces, they perform better in bearing that load, than members that are in flexure. This is because the cross-section of such a system is uniformly stressed under axial forces.

Trusses are very common in most architecture. Mostly used to span long distances, they are well suited to bear the load of single-storey industrial buildings.

They can also be designed to bear gravity loads in long span floors. For the same reason they are also mounted to bear loads of long span bridges.

Benefits of Tata Structura Products for Your Construction Projects

For the last 10 years, Tata Structura has been committing to manufacturing products that will pass the test of time, ensuring that the projects built last for a lifetime. Every construction product built at Tata Strutura is engineered with precision and they undergo a strict scrutiny process. Let’s check out the products that Tata Structura along with their benefits, offers in the realm of structural steel tubing.

Tata Structura Steel Tubes/Pipes

Structural steel tubes/pipes are the flagship products of Tata Strutura. Steel tubes come in various sizes and diameters. At Tata Structura various shapes of hollow section steel tubes/pipes are produced. Made from hot-rolled steel coils, these steel tubes are integrated into concrete bases to support a structure. The types of steel tubes available at Tata Structura are as follows:

Galvanised Hollow Sections

The galvanised hollow section steel tubes of Tata Structura undergo an extensive galvanising process, enhancing their corrosion resistance. Thus, these sections can be used in places where there is an increased exposure to moisture, chemicals and other corrosive substances. The galvanising process conducted at Tata Strutura also maximises the product’s shelf life, ensuring that your project will last for the longest time.

Tata Strutura’s galvanised hollow section steel tubes have four incredible variants with varying grades. These are:

Tata Structura YST210

Tata Structura YST355

Tata Structura Z+

Tata Ezyfit

Tata Structura YST210

The YST 210 steel tubes of Tata Structura have a breaking strength of more than 201MPa, over 330MPa tensile strength and more than 20% high elongation. These are hollow section galvanised tubes that offer better geometric qualities, making them superior structurally to the market’s frequently available construction goods. When Tata Structura YST210 tubes are compared with open-section steel tubes, like channels and angles the combined benefit of high-quality steel tubes with constant yield strength and good geometric features saves approximately 25% of material waste. Furthermore, the coating of these Tata Structura tubes is perfect providing a smooth surface finish for a superior look and feel for the end application.

Tata Structura YST355

In 2016, Tata Strutura became the first brand to launch the YST355 grade hollow section steel tubes. These hollow section tubes have high steel strength and efficiency. These galvanised steel tubes of Tata Structura are made using high-quality hot-rolled coils which are brought from the Hot Strip Mill of world-famous Tata Steel. The YST355 grade also has a yield force of 355MPa and a UTS of 490MPa. This provides a greater strength-to-weight ratio and superior sectional features. Thus, when compared to standard angles, the hollow sections provide possible steel savings of up to 40%. These steel reductions eventually translate to more cost-effective project execution.

Tata Structura Z+

A Tata Steel brand for galvanised hollow sections is the Tata Structura Z+. The galvanised zinc coating of 360GSM on Tata Structura’s Z+ provides immense corrosion protection for various structures like roof shades, grills, solar support systems and staircase railing. By acting both as a barrier and a sacrificial layer, zinc protects the steel surface. The steel coating stops air and water from coming to the steel surface, thus preventing corrosion. Zinc can also corrode to generate a coating of zinc oxide (sacrificial anode) before enabling oxygen to interact with the steel surface. Thus, Tata Structura Z+'s 360 GSM (50 micron) pure zinc coating is particularly successful in preventing corrosion and is best suited for places with significant rainfall and humidity that have extensive corrosion difficulties. Moreover, these sections are used in aesthetic applications, usually home elevations like fences, gates, frames, grills and pergolas as well as structural roofing applications like garages and car sheds.

Tata Ezyfit

Tata Ezyfit is a Tata Structura product used for window frames and doors. These are a variant of the galvanised steel tubes that provide an aesthetic feel and robust support to doors and windows. Like other Tata Structura steel tubes, these also feature hollow parts that make the frames strong and durable. Compared to wooden frames, the Tata Ezyfit steel base is not affected by seasonal changes. Furthermore, the profile of Tata Ezyfit parts has been designed to ensure proper door fitting. In this steel tube variant, two sections are present namely, single door frame and double door frame sections.

Square Hollow Sections

Tata Structura’s square hollow section steel pipes have an aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, they are quite durable. For this reason, these tubes are integrated into concrete bases, owing to heavy-duty construction like buildings, bridges and even structural framing. The square hollow sections have incredible load capacity thus builders rely on using Tata Structura square structural steel tubes for the construction of residential & commercial buildings and even foot over bridges.

Rectangular Hollow Sections

Keeping versatility in mind, Tata Structura’s rectangular hollow section steel pipes are extensively useful in industrial applications. Since they are made from hot-rolled steel coils, these pipes have great durability and thus can increase the longevity of any project. They are often used to create industrial sheds. these steel pipes are also integral components in steel truss structure. Furthermore, they are combined with a concrete base to support flyovers.

Circular Hollow Sections

The circular hollow sections of Tata Structura have exceptional resistance to bending and torsional strength that makes them a suitable choice for applications requiring incredible structural integrity. These circular hollow steel tubes promote uniform pressure distribution, while high-quality welding and quality control techniques assure a long-lasting and dependable product.
