Difference Between Steel Truss and Space Frame

 

DIFFERENCE OF STRUCTURE

 

1, The steel truss structure is similar to plane steel truss, belongs to single way force structure. The top chord is in charge of the stability of the truss. When the width is increased which will enhance the stability of each direction., save the quantity of steel.

2, The space frame is the overall spatial truss structure. The rigidity of the surface is large, can be supported around with multi-point support, belongs to the two-way stress system.

3, Compare to the space frame, the truss structure save the picket of the bottom chord and ball nodes. This means it can match all shape design of construction, especially dome and other arbitrary shapes than space frame structure. From the force bearing point, we can find, when the side ratio is rather than 1.5, it’ll change into single stress from the two-way force. Because of this, mostly construction is rectangular in the plan is single way stress.

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

 

1, The truss structure is evolved from space frame, with unique advantage and practicability, more economically.

2, The steel structure truss we used to say is (steel) plane construction, need the extra brace system to make it stable. The brake system doesn’t bear the vertical load, it’s a single way stress system.

3, In general, space frame is one of structure in space, with nodes of bolt ball and welding ball.

 

SAFS devote to the development of space frame for several years, professional manufacture of space frame for diverse projects such as aircraft hangar, bulk storage, warehouse and skylight roof, etc.

In what areas are steel structures usually used

-

Steel structure manufacturers can process a wide variety of products, including the following categories: 1. Single and multi-story industrial and residential buildings. 2. Office buildings, primary and secondary schools, hospitals. 3. Luxury villas, tourism buildings. 4. Modern commercial buildings for various markets. 5. Mobile buildings (demountable buildings, emergency projects). The main building materials in membrane structure engineering are steel and membrane materials. For steel structures, the main processing flow includes: material feeding → cutting → inspection → assembly welding → rust removal → numbering packaging → factory. The precautions are: 1. Materials must have a material certificate. 2. According to the cutting length and rod specifications calculated by the designer, the rods are classified and stacked for easy construction in the next step. 3. According to the penetration size of the steel pipe, considering the influence of wall thickness and groove, the automa

Three Methods of Space Frame Installation

  What are the 3 methods of space frame  installation ? SAFS steel structure professional technical staff share with customers and friends:   1.  Splicing the entire space frame  directly, after the completion  of  the corresponding ceiling method to hoist the entire space frame  into the air, and then within a certain hovering time, weld the space frame  in the corresponding position and connect it with the whole  building . This method is faster  to install, but has higher requirements for operators. 2.  The method is relatively mild, the space  frame works directly at a high place, and the space  frame is installed bit by bit through the part that intersects with the building, that is, starting from the surrounding area and completing the work at the final center point. The schedule  is very slow, but the operation difficulty is also reduced a lot. 3. This method is mainly applicable to the quadrangular pyramid structure and the triangular pyramid structure. Each vertebral structure

Space frame has become one of the important fields of modern architectural structure

Since the 20th century, the spatial structure has been greatly developed all over the world. The space frame structure is a kind of space grid structure. The so-called "space structure" is relative to the "plane structure", which has the characteristics of three-dimensional function. The space structure can also be regarded as the expansion and deepening of the plane structure. Since the advent of the space structure, it has been welcomed by people for its high-efficiency mechanical performance, novel and beautiful form, and fast and convenient construction. In stadiums, convention centers, cultural facilities, transportation hubs and even industrial plants that require large spans and large spaces, space structures can be seen everywhere.   After a century of continuous development of space structure, in terms of structural form, in addition to space frame and reticulated shell, membrane structure, tensegrity system, open and close roof, and foldable structure are
