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...

Influence of different elements on steel properties

steel structure
steel

(1) Carbon: the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness of the steel, but its plasticity and toughness is worse.

(2) Manganese: can improve the strength of steel, can weaken and eliminate the adverse effects of sulfur, and can improve the hardenability of steel, high manganese content of high alloy steel (high manganese steel) has good wear resistance and other physical properties.

(3) sulfur: a harmful impurity in steel, steel containing high sulfur at high temperatures for pressure processing, easily brittle, usually called thermal embrittlement.

(4) phosphorus: can make the plasticity and toughness of steel decreased significantly, especially at low temperatures is more serious, this phenomenon is called cold embrittlement. In high-quality steel, sulfur and phosphorus should be strictly controlled. But on the other hand, in the low carbon steel containing high sulfur and phosphorus, can make its cutting easy to break, to improve the cutability of steel is favorable.

(5) silicon: it can progress the hardness of steel, but plasticity and toughness decline, electrical steel containing a certain amount of silicon, can improve the soft magnetic properties.

(6) molybdenum: can significantly improve the hardenability and thermal strength of steel, to prevent tempering brittleness.

(7) tungsten: can improve the red hardness and thermal strength of steel, and can improve the wear resistance of steel.

(8) chromium: can improve the hardenability and wear resistance of steel, can improve the corrosion resistance of steel and oxidation resistance.

(9) titanium: can refine the grain organization of steel, thereby improving the strength and toughness of steel. In stainless steel, titanium can eliminate or reduce intergranular corrosion of steel.

(10) boron: when the steel contains traces of (0.001-0.005%) boron, steel hardenability can be doubled.

(11) nickel: can improve the strength and toughness of steel, hardenability. When the content is high, it can significantly change some of the physical properties of steel and alloys, and improve the corrosion resistance of steel.

(12) aluminum: can refine the grain organization of steel, inhibit the aging of mild steel. Progress in low-temperature steel toughness, but also to improve the oxidation resistance of steel, steel wear resistance and fatigue strength.

(13) vanadium: can refine the grain organization of steel, steel strength, toughness and wear resistance. When it melts into the austenite at high temperatures, it can increase the hardenability of steel; conversely, when it exists in the form of carbide, it will reduce its hardenability.

(14) copper: its prominent role is to improve the atmospheric corrosion resistance of ordinary low alloy steel, especially when used in conjunction with phosphorus is more obvious.

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?

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...
