Connection construction methods for steel buildings

 

Connection construction methods for steel buildings

The steel structure building connection construction mainly consists of three ways: rivet connection, welding, bolt connection.

1. Rivet connection

Rivet connection refers to the connection method of inserting rivets into the rivet holes and then riveting the holes together by applying pressure or heating, and the internal part of the member is pressurized by the shear of the rivets. The advantages of riveting are reliable force transmission, good shape and toughness. The disadvantage is that the rivet processing and manufacturing of steel consumption, riveting procedures are complex, and processing and manufacturing labor-intensive, limited bearing capacity, in the rivet hole will produce strong stress.

2. Welding technology

Welding is the most common connection form for basic steel structure components. Welding generally does not require splicing materials, saving steel and labor, saving materials; good sealing of the connection point, high rigidity; any shape of the structure can be connected by weld; welding construction is simple, automated operation can be realized, high production efficiency. Welding quality and welding technology has a close relationship. When the welding temperature is high, or due to improper stress treatment will form residual stress or deformation problems, there may also be cracks. Cold embrittlement at low temperatures is the most common problem in welding technology. The quality of the weld is easily affected by the material, therefore, the material properties of the steel are required to be high.

3. Bolt connection

Bolt connection is one of the main forms of steel structure connection method, and its application range is limited to a certain extent due to the complexity of the manufacturing, installation and heat treatment process, and the serious waste of materials in the manufacturing and installation process. Bolts are divided into ordinary bolts and high-strength bolts. Steel structure buildings with high requirements on the strength and stability of the overall structure often adopt high-strength bolt connection, and high-strength bolt connection is the main connection method of steel structure with welding. High-strength bolts are easy to construct and quick to start, which can accelerate the construction progress while guaranteeing the construction quality; at the same time, the transfer area of the connection force is larger, which greatly improves the stress situation, thus increasing the fatigue strength of the components; high-strength bolts will not loosen according to their own strong clamping force, which not only reduces the workload of the maintenance personnel, but also greatly improves the safety of the steel beams.


 

Due to the high technical requirements of steel structure welding for workers, high labor intensity, low assembly efficiency and difficult quality assurance. Therefore bolt connection becomes the main development direction of steel structure on-site assembly technology. The interconnection between steel structure building materials is an important content to be involved in steel structure building design. The choice of connection needs to be considered from various aspects: reasonable force, giving full play to the performance of the materials, reasonableness of the construction conditions, aesthetics, applicability and economy, etc.

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

图片
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

What is the degree of space frame processing?

  Space   frame processing is very meticulous work. The quality of the space   frame is not good. Most of them appear in this process. As long as the processing is completed, it can bring you a very good quality effect. It can be said that a very powerful material is used , which is a n important role in itself. First of all, look at the structure of the entire space frame   processing to see if the steel pipes are arranged neatly. If it is found to be disordered or missing, the processing will not go smoothly and it must be a perfect product.  Many space frame   structures have a stable effect on various occasions, and there will be no unfavorable phenomena such as looseness, abnormality, and failure, and there is a high demand for space frame   construction.  Secondly, we can also see the welding performance of space frame processing. Space frame welding is a kind of welding fusion of buildings or products. This technology is indispensable for the construction of various products or

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
