Space Frame Steel Roofs: A More Cost-Effective Choice for Large-Span Buildings Than Concrete

-

 When planning large-span buildings—from industrial warehouses and exhibition halls to transportation hubs—selecting the right roof system is not just a structural decision, but a financial one that impacts budgets for decades. Concrete has long been a traditional option for such projects, valued for its familiarity rather than its long-term efficiency. However, space frame steel roofs have emerged as a superior alternative, delivering cost savings that extend far beyond upfront expenses and align with the practical needs of modern large-span construction. The myth that concrete is the cheaper choice often stems from a narrow focus on material costs alone. While concrete may have a lower price per ton at first glance, this ignores the full scope of expenses that come with concrete roof installation. Space frame steel roofs, by contrast, are engineered for efficiency at every stage, starting with their lightweight and modular design. Unlike concrete roofs, which require massive, rei...

 Advantages of steel structure in terms of cost

steel structure

The materials used in the steel structure can be rolled into various profiles by specialized metal structure factories, which are easy to process and produce, and have high accuracy and precision. The finished components can be transported to the site for assembly and connected by welding or bolts. Because the components are light, it is easy to install, the degree of construction mechanization is high, and the construction period is short, which creates conditions for reducing the cost and exerting the economic benefits of investment. In addition, it is relatively easy to rebuild and strengthen the steel structure that has been built, and the structure connected by bolts can also be demolished as needed, and the reuse rate is high.

What is a coal bunker?

Coal bunker , is a structure used for storing coal. Coal bunkers play an important role in thermal power plants, coal mines and coal marshalling stations. Depending on the specific application scenario and design, there are various types of coal bunkers, such as circular coal bunkers, square coal bunkers and open coal yards. Safety Management of coal bunkers Preventing spontaneous combustion of coal: Since coal itself contains certain moisture and volatile substances, long-term exposure to the air may lead to spontaneous combustion, so the safe management of coal bunkers is of great significance in preventing spontaneous combustion of coal. Ensure the quality of coal: coal in the coal bunker usually needs to be stored for a long time, if not managed properly, it may lead to the decline in the quality of coal, such as sulphurisation, weathering and other phenomena, so it is necessary to ensure the quality of coal by strengthening the safety management of the coal bunker. Improve the eco...

What is the difference between a single-layer reticulated shell and a double-layerreticulated shell?

  The differences between single-layer reticulated shells and double-layer reticulated shells are as follows: Structural Configuration   Single-layer reticulated shell: Composed of a single layer of members, with the members directly connected to form a grid structure . The node configuration is relatively simple, typically employing rigid connections that allow the members to bear not only axial forces but also bending moments and shear forces.   Double-layer reticulated shell: Consists of upper and lower parallel layers of members connected by web members, forming a truss-like structural system. The nodes are generally hinged, and the members primarily bear axial forces. Its configuration is relatively complex, requiring more members and nodes to ensure structural stability and load-bearing capacity. Structure Single-layer mesh shell: composed of one layer of rods, the rods are directly connected to form a mesh structure, the node structure is relatively simple, usually...

 It is widely used in modernist architecture. Steel structure installation is mainly carried out by electric welding welding and bolts. Because the steel frame structure is compact and practical, it brings great convenience to engineering construction. In order to promote the sustainable development concept of steel frame structure in the construction engineering industry, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth analysis of the construction stage of steel structure, especially the node design, to ensure reliability.       Steel plate materials are widely used in modernist buildings because of their extreme seismic performance, plasticity and reliability. Jiangsu steel structure project construction is to be processed with bolts or steel to make the building structure. Accompanied by the improvement of living standards and the rapid development of the construction industry, the requirements for steel frame structure are rigorous. As a result, the design of steel fra...
