Select the appropriate space frame installation scheme

 As a kind of steel structure, the space frame is an essential part of modern architecture, which is used to support the heavy roof and facade. With the rapid development of architectural design, more and more space frame schemes are available. However, how to choose the right space frame installation scheme? What factors need to be considered?

1. Material selection: The selection of space frame material is the most critical step in the installation of space frame, different materials have different advantages and disadvantages, need to be selected according to the project needs, construction environment and building form and other factors.

(1) Steel: Steel, as a commonly used space frame material, has superior stability and load-bearing capacity. Steel can complete a variety of large-span curtain wall, glass curtain wall, ceiling and other buildings, widely used in commercial complexes, large high-end hotels, exhibition centers, airport terminals and other types of buildings. Because of its easy processing, low cost, convenient installation, only need to carry out on-site welding, so the steel space frame has become the construction side of the most respected a space frame installation program.

(2) Aluminum alloy: compared with steel, the space frame made of aluminum alloy is more lightweight and will not cause corrosion, so it is more suitable for long-term outdoor environment use. Aluminum alloy space frame can achieve more design effects in appearance, because aluminum is easier to manufacture various shapes and designs, and the plasticity is relatively strong, which is suitable for complex architectural modeling space frame design.

2. Construction environment: (1) clear design in the early stage: Before selecting the space frame material, it is necessary to fully consider the environmental conditions of the region, climate change, annual precipitation, wind speed and many other factors, and carry out clear planning and design of the material and design scheme of the space frame in the early stage.

At the same time, when the existing building is reformed, the load-bearing capacity and structural characteristics of the original building need to be taken into account to ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the network does not affect the bearing effect of the original building.

(2) Reasonable construction method: During the construction process of the space frame, construction tools and equipment need to be reasonably selected to ensure that the installation process can be carried out efficiently and safely. For example, high-altitude construction should be equipped with reasonable safety equipment and tools to reduce the safety risks of operators.

(3) Inspection qualification: When selecting the space frame construction team, it is necessary to understand the qualification and construction experience of the other side. First-class construction units must have the construction of general contracting qualification or professional contracting qualification, and have the relevant electrical engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering registration and other professional qualifications.

Based on construction environmental factors, we can consider a reasonable installation scheme, fully ensure the safety and quality of construction, and ensure the carrying capacity of the space frame.

3. Building type: (1) High-rise buildings: For the space frame design of high-rise buildings, steel or aluminum alloy is generally used, because this material has higher stability and load-bearing capacity. At the same time, the safety testing of high-rise building space frame is also essential to ensure that its carrying capacity and stability are strong enough.

(2) Building facade: Under normal circumstances, for the decoration of the building facade, it is necessary to build a certain space frame. These space frames can make the decoration of the facade more beautiful, while meeting the load-bearing requirements. The selection of the mesh frame is mainly based on the suitable light steel keel, while ensuring its corrosion protection and durability.

(3) Building ceiling: Building ceiling is the primary energy-saving project, and its space frame installation design is better, which can better bring comfort and beauty to the building. For the building ceiling, FRP is a better choice because it can better ensure the protection of the outdoor environment for the building ceiling.

The selection of a suitable space frame installation scheme requires full consideration of factors such as material selection, construction environment and building form. Before selecting the space frame installation scheme, it is necessary to carry out sufficient planning and design to ensure that its stability and carrying capacity are strong enough, and it is also necessary to select the appropriate construction environment and construction tools and equipment to ensure the safe and efficient construction process. Through reasonable selection and planning, it can achieve beautiful, environmental protection, economic and practical installation effect of the space frame.
