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.
