Why Prefabricated Steel Structures Are the Future of Industrial Construction

-
图片
In the fast-paced world of industrial development, time and cost efficiency are no longer just advantages—they’re necessities. For logistics companies, manufacturers, and project managers looking to expand facilities without costly delays, prefabricated steel structures have emerged as a game-changing solution. These precision-engineered buildings aren’t just about speed; they’re redefining durability, flexibility, and sustainability in construction. The Core Advantages That Matter Most Prefabricated steel structures stand out for their practical benefits that directly address industrial pain points: Rapid Installation : Components are manufactured in controlled factory settings, then shipped to the site for assembly. A 6,000-square-meter industrial warehouse can go from components to operational space in a fraction of the time required for traditional construction . This means faster occupancy and quicker returns on investment. Unmatched Durability : Steel components are precisio...

What are the components of a bolted ball node?

-

 The bolt ball node is mainly composed of the following parts:


Steel ball:
Material: forged or cast solid steel ball, but the inner part is actually hollow to reduce weight.

Role: As the core component of the connection, the steel ball is drilled and turned out according to the angle of convergence of the net frame rods, and is used to connect with the bolts.

Bolt:
Material: high strength bolt to ensure the reliability and durability of the connection.
Role: Connect the steel pipe members and steel balls together by bolts to form a whole structure. The diameter and length of the bolts are selected according to the force demand.

Sleeve:
Shape: usually a hexagonal sleeve for easy screwing.
Role: Sleeve on the screw of the bolt, by unscrewing the sleeve can drive the bolt to rotate, so as to realise the connection between the bolt and the steel ball.

Pins or screws:
Function: used to fix the bolt and sleeve together, preventing the sleeve from falling off in the process of unscrewing. The diameter and length of the pin or screw should match the sleeve and bolt.

Cone head or seal plate:
Material: the same material as the steel pipe rod to ensure the welding quality.
Function: Welded on both ends of the steel pipe rod, used to place the bolts and connect with the sleeve. The design of the cone head or sealing plate can be adjusted according to the force requirements.

These parts together constitute the bolt ball node, which realises the reliable connection between the steel pipe rod and the steel ball through the matching connection of bolts, sleeves, pins or screws, and conical head or sealing plate. This node form has the advantages of strong adaptability, reliable connection, easy installation and disassembly, etc., and is widely used in large-span space structures.

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...

 It is widely used in modernist architecture. Steel structure installation is mainly carried out by electric welding welding and bolts. Because the steel frame structure is compact and practical, it brings great convenience to engineering construction. In order to promote the sustainable development concept of steel frame structure in the construction engineering industry, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth analysis of the construction stage of steel structure, especially the node design, to ensure reliability.       Steel plate materials are widely used in modernist buildings because of their extreme seismic performance, plasticity and reliability. Jiangsu steel structure project construction is to be processed with bolts or steel to make the building structure. Accompanied by the improvement of living standards and the rapid development of the construction industry, the requirements for steel frame structure are rigorous. As a result, the design of steel fra...
