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 challenges in structural design for irregularly shaped buildings?

图片
The structural design of non-standard geometric buildings represents the most critical and challenging aspect of their realization. The difficulties extend far beyond merely “how to make it stand,” permeating the entire process from concept development and calculations through construction and use. Below are the primary challenges in the structural design of non-standard geometric buildings, presented in order from core to derivative issues: 1. Core Mechanical Challenge: Non-Standard Load Paths In traditional buildings (such as rectangular boxes), load transfer paths are clear and direct: floor slab → beam → column → foundation → ground. Forces are primarily transmitted vertically downward. In contrast, load paths in irregularly shaped structures are often highly complex and convoluted. Challenge: Forces do not obediently travel straight downward. They “detour” through curved surfaces, diagonal bracing, and irregular grids, generating massive torsional forces, bending moments, and hor...
