How to Ventilate and Cool Steel Structure Workshops?

图片
Steel structure workshops, with their fast construction speed, low cost, and good sturdiness, are widely used in manufacturing and warehousing areas. However, in the hot summer, these workshops become sweat-evaporating chambers. Even without a hot production area, the temperature inside a steel structure workshop can be 5 degrees Celsius higher than the outside temperature, and the heat source temperature in the production area often reaches over 40 degrees Celsius. Environmental problems associated with steel structure workshops and sheet metal buildings include: 1. Large area and space make it difficult to find suitable ventilation and cooling equipment. 2. Poor insulation of sheet metal roofs leads to stuffy and hot workshops in summer. The heat generated by machinery in some steel structure workshops and sheet metal buildings accumulates if it cannot be expelled in time, increasing the workshop temperature, making it stuffy, and affecting the workshop environment. To solve the env...

How many different approaches are there to designing the roof pitch for space structures?

图片
 The roof of a space structure plays an extremely important role in a building—providing shelter from wind and rain and ensuring efficient drainage. Whether in large-span sports halls, exhibition centres, industrial plants or logistics warehouses, a well-designed roof drainage slope is key to ensuring the structure functions properly. If the slope is not properly managed, the consequences can range from minor issues such as water pooling and leaks—which affect the building’s aesthetics and service life—to more serious problems, such as structural safety risks caused by excessive water accumulation and dead loads during heavy snowfall or torrential rain. Therefore, the appropriate management of roof slopes is an aspect of space frame design that cannot be overlooked. So, what are the methods for handling roof slopes in space frame structures? There are generally three methods for handling roof slopes in space frame structures: 1. Installing small columns at the top chord nodes to cr...

What is Double-Laminated Glass? Detailed Explanation of Processing Technology and Applications

图片
Double-laminated glass, also known as laminated glass, is a composite glass product made of two or more sheets of glass with one or more layers of organic polymer interlayer sandwiched between them. After a special high-temperature pre-pressing and high-temperature, high-pressure process, the glass and interlayer are bonded together. Common interlayers include PVB (polyvinyl butyral), SGP (ionic interlayer), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), and PU (polyurethane). These interlayers are transparent, elastic, have strong adhesion, and good penetration resistance. Even if the glass breaks, the fragments will adhere to the film, and the broken glass surface remains clean and smooth, effectively preventing injuries from shards and falling debris. Production Methods: 1) Film Hot-Pressure Method (Dry Method): The glass and interlayer are stacked in sequence and placed in an autoclave. They are then hot-pressed under specific temperature and pressure conditions to firmly bond the interla...

What are the types of steel structures?

图片
 Steel structures are structures made of steel materials and are one of the main types of building structures. The structure mainly consists of components such as beams, columns, and trusses made of steel sections and plates, and uses rust removal and prevention processes such as silanization, pure manganese phosphating, water washing and drying, and galvanizing. The components are usually connected by welds, bolts, or rivets. Due to its light weight and simple construction, it is widely used in large factories, stadiums, and high-rise buildings. According to different classification standards, steel structures are classified as follows: 1.Steel structures are classified into four types according to their uses: tall steel structures, plate and shell steel structures, industrial plant steel structures, and light steel structures. 2.Tall steel structures: Tall structures include television towers, microwave towers, communication towers, high-voltage transmission line towers, petroch...

Why Is Laminated Glass So Much More Expensive Than Regular Glass?

图片
 We encounter glass in our daily lives, and interior designers often leverage its advantages in home decor—such as enhancing the visual openness of a space and improving natural light. However, many homeowners worry that glass is fragile and could injure their children, so they hesitate to use it extensively. Today, we’ll explain the difference between laminated glass and ordinary, breakable glass. As the name suggests, laminated glass is a composite glass created through a high-temperature process that sandwiches EVA, SGP, or PVB adhesive between multiple layers of glass. Unlike ordinary glass, which is fragile, laminated glass holds together when broken, preventing sharp shards from causing injury or damage. It is commonly used in large-scale applications such as railings, glass canopies, windows, and flooring. Secondly, although laminated glass is thicker than ordinary glass, it does not affect natural light or transparency at all. Precisely because it is thicker, it reduces noi...

Introduction to Steel Membrane Structure Coal Storage Sheds

图片
 Steel membrane structure coal storage sheds , also known as framed membrane structure coal storage sheds, are available in three structural configurations: steel space frames, tubular trusses, and H-section steel, or as combinations of these three types. The cladding material consists of high-strength, weather-resistant PVDF membrane fabric. The main structure is designed for a 50-year service life, and the high-quality PVDF membrane fabric ensures a service life of over 30 years. Currently, most domestic warehouses utilize traditional color-coated steel structures, which entail high initial investment costs and significant renovation and maintenance expenses during operation, placing considerable pressure on enterprises. In contrast, environmentally friendly steel membrane structure warehouses, when designed and constructed, can reduce total investment costs by 20% to 30% compared to traditional color-coated steel structures, with zero maintenance required for 30 years. Advantage...

Toledo Barrel-Shaped Space Frame Coal Storage Shed in the Philippines

图片
 A magnificent “rainbow” has been woven by the builders and now stands proudly on Philippine soil. The Toledo Barrel-Shaped Space Frame Coal Storage Shed project in the Philippines, constructed by LFBJMF, has garnered significant attention since its initial planning as a vital energy support facility in the region. This project serves as a supporting facility for a private power plant, located within the TIPCO Industrial Park in the Philippines, and stands as a key node in the local energy infrastructure development. The project was strictly manufactured in accordance with Chinese standards, designed for a service life of up to 50 years, and boasts excellent durability and safety. The project’s core parameters are impressive: the coal yard space frame spans 88 meters (44m × 2), with a frame height of 24.05 meters and a foundation height of 11.0 meters. To address the complex local natural environment, the project was designed to high standards, capable of withstanding Category II ...
