The steel dome of the prayer hall of the Great Mosque of Jama

 


In the past 30 years, various large span space steel structures have been developed rapidly at home and abroad. As nodes play a crucial role in space structure, scholars have developed different types of space nodes to adapt to different structural forms and stress requirements. Common space joint types include welded hollow ball joint, bolted ball joint, cast steel joint, bolted ball column joint, end plate joint and so on. Due to the high cost of labor and inspection, field welding is rarely used in foreign projects, and bolts are used to connect most nodes. The main node of the steel structure of the prayer hall dome of the Great Mosque in Gama, Algeria, is prefabricated in the factory with joint domains and rods and connected with end-plates by high-strength bolts on site.

The Great Mosque of Jiama is located on the central axis of Algiers, the capital of Algeria, beside the Mediterranean Sea, with a construction area of 400,000 square meters. The minaret is the tallest building in the great Mosque complex, with a height of 265 meters. It is the largest minaret in the world. Underground 2 layers, height 5.8 meters, single layer area of 2380 square meters. Vertical for the super-thick shear wall structure, the maximum thickness of the shear wall is 1.5 meters. It is the tallest and largest building in Africa and will be the third-largest mosque in the world.

The prayer hall dome of Jama Mosque dome adopts a space steel arch structure system. The six main arches of the dome intersect at the same node, which has complex force and plays an important role in the force transmission of the structure.

Several cutting methods of steel structure space frame

图片
  Steel st ructure space frame s are now widely used, such as galvanized steel warehouse , glass dome building , airport hangar ,steel structure warehouses, hall roofs, gymnasiums, etc. The builder will cut, produce, and process according to the customer's requirements. There are many ways to cut steel structure space frame s, which will help you to have more choices of cutting. Then, the space frame   manufacturers below will give us a detailed description of several common cutting methods. The cutting methods of the steel structure space frame   are as follows: 1. Flame cutting by CNC machine tools: that is to say, use oxygen cylinders to oxidize and melt steel at a high temperature continuously. At present, natural gas is generally available, which is relatively reliable. 2. Waterjet cutting machine: Generally, high-pressure flowing water is used for cutting, and the accuracy is very high. It is often cut in some very thin, medium-thick steel that requires precision machining,

What are the advantages of steel over traditional concrete?

  steel warehouse Steel structures offer several advantages over traditional concrete structures that cover a wide range of areas, including speed of construction, flexibility, sustainability, and more. Here are some common advantages of steel construction:   Lightweight and High Strength: Steel is a lightweight and strong building material. Compared to concrete, the use of steel reduces the dead weight of the building, which in turn reduces the load on the foundation and lowers the overall weight of the building.   Fast construction: Steel structures can be prefabricated in a factory and then simply assembled on site. In contrast, traditional concrete structures typically require more on-site pouring and maintenance time. As a result, steel structures are often faster to construct, helping to shorten project duration.   Design Flexibility: Steel structures are strong and malleable and can support large spans and diverse building designs. This gives designers more flexibility in creat

Lifting construction of the starting unit frame of the large-span arched space frame

The space frame structure has good structural performance and a wide range of applications, especially for the installation of long-span steel structures. It has the advantages of saving steel, manufacturing technology, and convenient installation and construction. It is widely used in large-scale power generation facilities, petrochemical, coal f ields and other industries. In the construction of coal yards, in the past, most of the coal yards were piled in the open air, which caused great environmental pollution and affected the normal use of the coal yards. The coal raw material workshops of thermal power plants required relatively large building areas and spans (currently, the domestic span has reached 120m above), so that the steel space frame shell structure is widely used in the raw material dry coal shed workshop. The shell structure of the space frame of the dry coal shed has the characteristics of large span and high vertical height. During the construction process, it is ne
