Weld-Free and Worry-Free: Redefining Structural Efficiency in High-Seismic Regions

-
图片
 For contractors weary of labor-intensive, time-consuming structural installations—especially in high-seismic zones— bolted steel framing offers a solution that radically redefines safety standards. Its core advantage? A design that guarantees ease of assembly without sacrificing seismic performance, streamlining on-site workflows while meeting every compliance requirement. The days of project delays caused by on-site welding, tedious alignments, or bulky reinforcement are over. Bolted steel components are prefabricated, precision-cut, and pre-drilled, ready for assembly straight off the truck. The intuitive bolting system requires no specialized skills for installation, allowing crews to erect frames with rapid precision, significantly cutting down installation time compared to rigid structures like concrete. No more worrying about mismatched parts or labor-heavy phases—this system is built for high-speed execution, even under the toughest site conditions. But simplicity doesn’t ...

Causes and prevention of corrosion in space frame construction

-

 Because most of the space frame engineering uses steel structure materials, due to the influence of paint and natural environment, rust corrosion is very likely. The following explains how to do anti-corrosion measures in the construction of large-scale space frame projects.

First, the causes of corrosion affecting large-scale space frame projects

The first is the coating aging problem of the space frame engineering, no matter what kind of material basically has the characteristics of aging, and this anti-corrosion coating is no exception, and the aging of this coating makes the failure of the anti-corrosion coating of the steel structure, and then makes the rust affect the life.

In addition, a natural environmental factor around the space frame project, if the air around the steel structure plant is relatively humid, then it will inevitably make the steel structure gradually rust under the erosion of water and air.

In addition, if the pollution in the surrounding environment is more severe, among which there are sulfide, nitride, carbide and other corrosive and harmful components in the polluted atmosphere, it will also affect the service life of the steel structure plant.



Therefore, for the maintenance of portal steel frame engineering, it is necessary to pay attention at all times, it is best to coat a layer of film, and at the same time, the anti-corrosion paint should be painted after a period of time, so that it can be used for a long time.

Second, anti-corrosion measures for large-scale space frame projects

1, surface treatment: the surface treatment of steel structure is very important, the same paint, the same corrosion environment, the use of different construction process life can be extended by three times to five times. The dirt and rust layer on the surface of the steel should be removed, especially the black oxide formed when rolling the steel, which is the cathode of electrochemical corrosion and the root cause of corrosion and must be removed. The surface treatment quality shall reach Sa2.5 level of the steel surface pretreatment specification before coating.

2, material selection: surface coating of special steel structure anti-corrosion paint, is still the main means of steel structure anti-corrosion and space frame anti-corrosion. Steel structure anti-corrosion coating according to the protection function can be divided into primer, middle paint and top paint, each layer of paint has its own characteristics, each responsibility, several layers combined to form a composite coating, improve anti-corrosion performance, extend the service life.

3, coating thickness: coating is an anti-corrosion intermediate material, must be coated to form a coating. If the coating thickness is uneven, burrs on the surface of the steel or the top of the anchor spinning will reveal the coating. If the coating construction passes are few, the coating has pinholes, and oxygen, chloride ions, and water molecules in the water pass through these weak places, making the steel rust and corrosion. The corrosion products expand in volume, forming rust packets, gradually expanding, and finally the coating bubbles off.

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...

What are the differences between bolted ball grids and welded ball grids?

-
图片
 There are a number of differences between bolted ball grids and welded ball grids in terms of fabrication, construction and design. The following are specific comparisons: 1. Manufacturing process: The manufacturing of bolted ball net frame is mainly carried out in the factory, using mechanical shot blasting to remove rust, and then spraying paint, plastic spraying or zinc spraying treatment to enhance corrosion resistance.  The steel pipe and welded seam of welded ball mesh frame can only be descaled manually on site, and then paint or fireproof coating is brushed. For the welded part, it needs to be descaled and brushed at a stage to maintain, which increases the cost of later use and affects the safety of the structure. 2. Construction process: 70% of the workload of bolted ball grid frame is prefabricated in the factory, 30% of the workload is installed at the site, only a wrench is needed to tighten the bolts at the site, which is easy and fast, and can be constructed ...
