Structural requirements for steel structure space frame joints

-

In the steel structure space frame, the nodes play the role of connecting the intersecting members and transferring the roof load and crane load. The space frame also belongs to the space bar system, and there are at least 6 bars and as many as 13 bars that converge on a node. This adds a certain degree of difficulty to node design. The space frame has a large number of nodes, and the amount of steel used for the nodes accounts for 1/5~1/4 of the steel used for the entire space frame members. Reasonable design of nodes has a direct relationship with the safety of the space frame, production and installation, project progress, steel consumption indicators, and the cost of steel structure space frame construction.

Node design is one of the important links in space frame design.

The node structure of the steel structure space frame should meet the following 4 points:

(1) The force is reasonable and the force transmission is clear. Make sure that the node structure is consistent with the calculation assumptions used to make the node safe and reliable;

(2) Ensure that the intersecting rods intersect at one point and no additional bending moment is generated;

(3) The structure is simple, the production is simple, and the installation is convenient;

         (4) Less steel consumption and low cost.

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

  Coal storage facilities, including coal storage sheds, dry coal yards, and coal storage warehouses, have always been crucial in the coal industry. The application of steel structures and space frame technology is redefining the future of these coal storage facilities. These technologies not only enhance coal storage efficiency but also improve facility performance and sustainability. Challenges of Coal Storage Facilities: Coal storage facilities need to store large quantities of coal while ensuring it remains dry and of high quality. Traditional coal storage facilities often face issues such as coal dust emissions, inadequate humidity control, and maintenance difficulties. The application of steel structures and space frame technology offers new solutions to address these challenges. Advantages of Steel Structures: Steel structures play a pivotal role in coal storage facilities. Their high strength and flexibility make them an ideal material for supporting large-scale coal storage
