The characteristics of space frame structure

-

 The space frame structure is a spatial structure composed of multiple poles connected by nodes in a certain grid form. Generally, it is a high-order statically indeterminate structure, which can bear concentrated load, dynamic and asymmetric load well, and has good seismic performance.

Widely used in stadiums, theaters, exhibition hall, waiting hall, stadium stands awning, aircraft hangar and other occasions.

The structure of the grid has the following characteristics:

Advantages

1. Large span - Span can be more than 100 meters;

2. Standardization - All components can be mass produced in the factory, easy to ensure the quality;

3. Due to the interaction between the structural members of the space grid, it has good integrity, large space stiffness and very stable structure;

4. Light dead weight - The structure of the grid depends on the axial force of the bar to transfer the load; the material strength is fully utilized, which not only saves the steel, but also reduces the dead weight. As a good network frame design, the amount of steel and the same conditions of the steel content of reinforced concrete structure is close, so you can save a lot of concrete, can reduce the dead weight 70-80%, compared with ordinary steel structure, while saving up to  20-50% of steel;

5. Good seismic performance. Due to the light weight of the grid structure, the seismic force generated during the earthquake is small.

6. Small height of grid structure - Space can be effectively used. The high-span ratio of ordinary steel structure is 1/8-1/10, while the high-span ratio of grid structure is only 1/14-1/20, which can reduce the height of the building.

7. Fast construction speed - The size and shape of the components of the grid structure are the same in a large number, which can be produced in batches in the factory, with good quality, high efficiency and no competition with civil construction for the site. Therefore, the site workload is small and the time limit is shortened.

8. Diversified and beautiful shapes - It can cover the plane of various shapes and can be designed into various shapes with beautiful and generous shapes.

Disadvantages

The number of rods delivered on the nodes is large, and the production and installation are more complex than the plane structure.

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 pyrami...

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...
