Spaceframe-SAFS

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 ...

 The primary goal of a toll station canopy is to provide shelter and clear passage. However, outdated designs with numerous supporting columns can impede traffic flow, reduce visibility, and even pose safety risks for drivers. Modern toll station design demands: Unobstructed Traffic Flow:  Maximizing throughput is key. Canopies that eliminate central columns allow for wider, clearer lanes. Enhanced Driver Visibility:  A clear view of the road ahead and signage improves safety and reduces driver confusion. Architectural Integration:  The canopy often serves as a prominent visual element, contributing to the overall aesthetic of the infrastructure. The Power of Large-Span Steel Canopies At SAFS Steel Structure, we specialize in engineering and fabricating large-span steel canopy solutions that address these critical needs. Our expertise in structures like steel trusses and space frames allows us to create canopies that: Maximize Clear Span:  Steel's exceptional st...

  I. Design codes and loading requirements 💖1. Saudi Building Code (SBC 301) Core Parameters Seismic design: according to Class II site category, seismic acceleration of 0.25g, seismic force calculation using the equivalent lateral force method, the main structure displacement angle limit of 1/200. Wind load: basic wind pressure is 0.75kN/m² (100-year return period), equivalent wind pressure is 1.2kN/m² after considering height coefficient, local wind suction coefficient is 1.5. Snow load: reference to the historical data of Mecca area, the additional roof load is calculated as 0.5kN/m². 💖2.

 Large-span roof structures play a significant role in modern architecture, particularly in sports venues, exhibition centres, and industrial plants. Bolted spherical grid structures, as an efficient spatial grid structure, have gained widespread application in large-span roof projects due to their lightweight design, high load-bearing capacity, and ease of construction. I. Structural design features of bolted ball grid structures Bolted ball grid structures consist of ball nodes and members connected by bolts to form a three-dimensional spatial load-bearing system. Their structural design features the following characteristics:   Lightweight and high load-bearing capacity: The members of bolted ball grid structures are typically made of steel pipes or round bars with small cross-sectional dimensions, resulting in a lightweight overall structure. However, through reasonable member arrangement and node design, they can withstand significant loads. Convenient construction: The ...
