Factors Affecting Steel Structure Cost

-
图片
The cost of a steel structure project depends on several key factors that every industrial investor should know. First, steel prices and material grades directly impact the budget—high-strength steel for heavy workshops will cost more than standard steel for simple warehouses. Next, design elements like span size, load-bearing requirements, and anti-corrosion/fireproof treatments add to the total cost; complex large-span structures or coastal projects (needing extra anti-corrosion) will be more expensive than basic designs. Additionally, on-site conditions matter: difficult terrain, long transportation distances for prefabricated components, and installation complexity can increase labor and logistics costs. Working with a professional supplier helps balance quality and budget—they can optimize the design to avoid material waste and ensure cost stability without cutting corners. By understanding these factors, you can better plan your budget and avoid unexpected expenses during the p...

Chessboard-shaped quadrangular pyramid grid

Structural features: The spatial stiffness is smaller than that of the square pyramid grid, and the internal force of the lower chord increases. When the perimeter is arranged into a full cone, the stiffness is better. This grid has a short upper chord under compression and a long lower chord under tension, which can give full play to the role of the cross section of the rod and bear reasonable force.

 

Applicable conditions: Applicable to peripheral support grids with a rectangular plane shape, a side length ratio greater than 1.5, and small and medium spans.

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?

图片
  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...

Structural Steel Bolting Balls: Connecting the Future, Securing the Cornerstone

-
图片
In the field of steel structure , bolted ball, as an innovative choice of connecting node, is gradually becoming the preferred solution in modern buildings and industrial facilities due to its advantages of easy installation, removable and reorganisable, and low maintenance cost. Compared with traditional welded balls, bolted balls not only simplify the construction process and improve efficiency, but also give the structure greater flexibility and sustainability, which is an indispensable and important component in modern steel structure projects. The core concept of the bolted ball connection technology is to use high-strength bolts to closely connect the components to form a stable and reliable node structure. Compared with welded ball, bolted ball connection does not require on-site welding and avoids thermal stress, deformation and weld quality problems that may arise during the welding process, thus improving the overall stability and safety of the structure. In addition, the bo...
