When designing a grid, how do we determine the height of the grid?
1. Main influencing factors (1) Roof load: When the roof load is large, the grid needs to be higher to provide sufficient rigidity and stability. On the contrary, if the roof load is small, the grid height can be relatively low. (2) Span : The span of the grid is another important factor in determining its height. The larger the span, the larger the grid height usually needs to be in order to meet the requirements of rigidity and stability. (3) Plane shape and support conditions: The plane shape (such as circular, square, rectangular, etc.) and support conditions (such as peripheral support, point support, etc.) of the grid will also affect the determination of its height. For example, the height of the grid with a circular or square plane can be smaller, while the height of the grid with a narrow plane needs to be larger due to the obvious unidirectional force transmission. The height of the grid with peripheral support is usually smaller than that of the grid with point suppo...
