Support arrangement of steel space structure

-

 The support of the steel space frame structure includes peripheral support, point support, etc. Peripheral support is currently the most commonly used form of support, which is to put the peripheral nodes of the space frame on columns or beams. Point support means that the space frame rests on an independent column, which have no connection with other structures.  

The space frame structure generally support by top chord. When the bottom chord support is required due to the building function, vertical or inclined side trusses should be formed on the surrounding supports of the space frame to ensure the geometric non-deformation of the space frame and can effectively transfer the upper chord vertical load and horizontal load to the support.

 The horizontal rigidity in the plane of the two-way orthogonal truss is relatively small, to ensure the stability of each truss outside the plane and to effectively transmit and distribute horizontal loads such as wind loads acting on the roof structure, grids should be set around the top chord of the space frame, for large span structures or when the bottom chord surrounding supporting should be along the bottom chord closed horizontal support around the grid settings.  

 For multi-point supported space frame, because there are too few supporting columns, the internal force of the steel bar around the columns is generally very large. Setting the column cap on the top of the column can reduce the supporting span of the space frame, disperse the internal force of the surrounding rods of the supporting column, and the node are easier to deal with, so it is generally appropriate to set the column cap on the top of the column.   

The column cap should be set below the lower chord plane, or above the top chord plane or an umbrella-shaped column cap. The form of the column cap can be used in different forms according to the functional requirements of the building.

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 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...
