How to Distinguish Bolted Ball Space Frame And Welded Ball Space Frame

-

Bolted ball space frame and welded ball space frame are the more common space structures in our building types, so how to distinguish between bolted ball space frame and welded ball space frame? SAFS steel structure will let you know about it.

The difference between bolted ball space frame and welded ball space frame:

The bolted ball space frame is mainly produced in the processing factory, and the welding seam treatment is basically completed in the processing factory. The length of the steel pipe is easy to control, and it can be directly assembled when it arrives at the construction site. It is suitable for all structures, especially the modeling structure, which can ensure construction accuracy and the consistency of the structural modeling. There are many construction methods, the construction cost and measure cost is lower, and the construction progress is fast.

Welded ball space frames are processed in the factory, and the welding seam treatment is mainly processed at the construction site. Therefore, the welding technology of construction personnel on site and welding environment are very demanding. The most difficult aspects of on-site construction are the welding seam quality, construction period and construction cost are high, generally, it mainly suitable for large span, large load and other special requirements of the 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...
