How are space frame structures applied in industrial buildings?

图片
 In the rapid advancement of modern industry, industrial buildings serve as the core spaces for production and storage. Their structural design must not only fulfil functional requirements but also balance safety, economy, efficiency, and sustainability. As a company consistently focused on environmental stewardship and dedicated to providing high-quality, safe, and robust steel structure designs and products globally, we recognise that space frame structures represent the ideal solution for achieving these comprehensive objectives in industrial building applications. Space frame structures comprise spatial grid systems formed by multiple members connected through nodes. Their unique load-bearing characteristics and geometric configurations offer exceptional advantages in industrial building construction: Achieving Extraordinary Spans: Industrial facilities frequently require expansive, column-free spaces to accommodate production line layouts, large-scale equipment installation...

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...

Suspension structures

 A suspension structure is a structural form that carries roof loads through a series of high-strength steel cables. Its main load-bearing member is the cables, which are usually steel cables made of high-strength steel wires. The roof of the suspension structure is generally light and thin, and its shape can be very flexible, able to realize the large span across. For example, in the roofs of some large conference centers or exhibition halls, the suspension structure can create unique shapes such as double-curved paraboloid or single-curved paraboloid, which make the building have a strong artistic influence. Suspension structures require a stable support structure to anchor the steel cables, usually using reinforced concrete columns or steel columns as support. And in order to ensure the stability of the structure, it is also necessary to set a certain amount of prestressing, so that the steel cables are in a tensioned state before they are subjected to loads. Scope of applicatio...

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...
