III.Process control for the installation of bolted ball steel grid structures Bolted Spherical Grid Installation Process Before installing the space frame, installers must be familiar with all the members, ball types, dimensions, and their positions in the drawings. Any deformation of members caused during transportation, storage, or lifting must be corrected. All members and balls must be marked. During installation, they must be carefully checked against the drawings to ensure accuracy before installation. The installation of space frames primarily involves the connection between bolts and spheres. The friction surfaces of components must remain dry. High-strength bolts must be smoothly inserted into the sphere holes, with consistent insertion direction. They must be tightened in two stages, and each set of high-strength bolts must be fully tightened on the same day, with no bolts left untightened. Different installation processes must be adopted for different space frame configurat...

Currently, bolted ball steel grid structures are widely used in cement plant storage shed construction projects due to their aesthetic appearance, structural safety, cost-effectiveness, and short construction cycle. However, there are several key points to note during the fabrication and installation of such grid structures that deserve our close attention. Process control Rod processing Pipe component fabrication is a critical stage in space frame construction where errors can accumulate. The final length of the pipe components is determined by the cutting dimensions of the steel pipes, the thickness of the end plates or cone heads, and the thickness of the weld seams. However, the cutting dimensions of the steel pipes, the thickness of the end plates or cone heads, and the thickness of the weld seams are constrained by the designed length of the pipe components. Excessively large or small weld seams directly affect the connection strength of the pipe components. Therefore, during ac...
