Long-span space steel space frame is not limited to traditional single structure

-

Modern long-span space steel space frames are no longer limited to the traditional single structural form, and new structural forms and various combined structural forms are constantly emerging. Structural forms are becoming more and more complex. The "Bird's Nest" adopts a complex twisted space truss structure, the "Water Cube" adopts a polyhedral space rigid frame structure based on foam theory, the Olympic Badminton Stadium adopts the world's largest spanned string dome structure, and the Guangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center adopts a stringed truss structure .

Large-span space buildings such as "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube" are very difficult to construct, because they are three-dimensional shapes and structural systems with spatial forces. The "Bird's Nest" is a hyperboloid saddle shape, with a high point of 68.5 meters and a low point of 40.1 meters. The plane is elliptical, with a long axis of 332.3 meters and a short axis of 297.3 meters. It is composed of a main truss composed of complex box-shaped twisted members and a large number of substructures criss-crossed in space. It uses 42,000 tons of steel and is connected by 300 kilometers of welds. The structural form of the "Water Cube" is a polyhedral steel frame structure cut from a combination of 14-hedron and 12-hedron based on foam theory, with a side length of 177 meters, a height of 30 meters, a roof thickness of 7.2 meters, and a wall thickness of 3.5 meters and 5.9 meters. , the entire structure consists of 29,979 components and 9,309 nodes, using about 7,000 tons of steel, connected by 100-kilometer-long welds.

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...
