Steel structure space frame building dome construction matters

-

The construction of steel structure spatial frame architectural domes involves several critical considerations to ensure construction quality and safety. Here are some key construction matters to be addressed:


1. Design and Planning: Ensure that the design and planning of the dome are fully completed before construction. This includes structural design, load calculations, construction drawings, and more.

2. Foundation Preparation: Verify that the dome's foundation has been built and accepted to provide stable support.

3. Material Procurement and Inspection: Ensure the quality of all steel structure materials, including steel columns, beams, connectors, etc. For large-span domes, custom manufacturing might be necessary, so arranging material procurement in advance is crucial.

4. Safety Considerations: Safety is paramount during construction. Workers should use proper personal protective equipment such as helmets, safety shoes, harnesses, etc.

5. Scaffold Erection: To facilitate construction, scaffolding or temporary support structures might be needed. Ensure these support structures are sturdy and capable of withstanding construction loads.

6. Welding and Connections: Welding and connections of steel structures are crucial steps. Ensure correct welding processes and that the strength of connection points meets design requirements.

7. Precise Construction: Due to the potentially complex geometry of space frame architectural domes, precise dimensions and positioning are crucial to ensure the final structure aligns with design specifications.

8. Quality Control: Implement quality control and inspection during construction to ensure each stage meets standards and requirements.

9. Corrosion Protection: Steel structures might be exposed to harsh weather conditions, so proper corrosion protection is essential to extend the structure's service life.

10. Supervision and Management: Experienced supervision personnel are necessary during construction to ensure progress and quality. Effective project management can coordinate various construction phases and prevent delays.

11. Inspection and Testing: After dome construction is completed, conduct structural inspection and necessary tests to ensure safety and stability.

12. Documentation: Thoroughly document the construction process, including progress, quality checks, material usage, etc., for future reference.

Please note that each project may have unique aspects, so before actual construction, it's advisable to consult with professional structural engineers and construction teams for detailed discussions and planning to ensure a smooth execution of the construction tasks.

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...
