Selection and Application of Structural Steel Materials for Aircraft Maintenance Hangars​

-
图片
 Aircraft maintenance hangars , as the core facilities for aircraft inspection and repair operations, must endure long-term exposure to large-span loads, extreme weather conditions, and complex operational environments. Consequently, stringent requirements are imposed on the strength, weather resistance, and stability of the structural steel materials employed. The judicious selection of suitable steel structural materials not only ensures the hangar's safe operation but also reduces construction and maintenance costs. Based on the functional requirements of different structural components within the hangar, commonly used steel structural materials can be categorised into three main types, each playing a critical role in hangar construction. I. Primary Load-Bearing Structure: The Core Material Supporting the Hangar's ‘Skeleton’ The primary load-bearing structure forms the hangar's ‘skeleton’, bearing the hangar's own weight, aircraft parking loads, and external forces s...

What are the advantages of bolted ball-node mesh frame structures over other structures?

-

space frame

Convenient and fast installation: 70% of the workload of bolted ball space frame structure is prefabricated in the factory, and only bolting is required at the site, which is relatively simple to operate, and only a spanner is needed to tighten the bolts, without large construction equipment and complex on-site welding operations, which can effectively shorten the construction cycle and improve the construction efficiency. In contrast, the welded ball grid structure has a large amount of on-site welding workload, is greatly affected by weather conditions, and the welding process is complicated and the construction speed is slow.

High construction safety: when installing the bolted ball grid structure on site, the overhead welding operation is reduced, which reduces the fire risk and the safety hazard of the construction personnel due to welding sparks, high temperature and so on. At the same time, the operation of bolted connection is relatively simple and requires relatively low professional skills of construction personnel, which also reduces the possibility of safety accidents caused by improper operation of construction personnel.

Easy to disassemble and adjust: If there is a local structural adjustment or demolition demand in the process of use, the disassembly of bolted ball node mesh frame structure is more convenient, and it can be flexibly changed and expanded according to the actual situation without causing too much damage to the overall structure. Some other concrete structures or welded steel structures are relatively difficult to transform.

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...

Dreaming of vast, uninterrupted interior spaces for your next project? Steel space frame roofing offers a powerful and efficient solution for achieving impressive clear spans. Their unique three-dimensional truss system distributes loads effectively, allowing for lightweight yet incredibly strong structures ideal for arenas, warehouses, and commercial centers. At SAFS Steel Structure, we specialize in designing and delivering these innovative roofing systems. One key advantage of steel space frames is their efficient use of materials. The triangulated design maximizes strength while minimizing steel tonnage, leading to potential cost savings. Furthermore, the modular nature of space frames facilitates efficient prefabrication and streamlined on-site assembly. This faster construction timeline can significantly reduce overall project costs and accelerate occupancy. Beyond structural efficiency, space frames offer significant design flexibility. Architects can create ...
