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...

 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...

 Spatial structures have become a widely adopted structural form in recent years. Composed of bolt-ball nodes and seamless steel tubular members, these highly indeterminate structures are assembled using high-strength bolts or welding connections. They are characterized by a low steel-to-span ratio, excellent seismic resistance, short construction cycles, and aesthetic appeal. These structures are extensively utilized in large-span engineering projects, such as sports stadiums, airport terminals, high-speed railway stations, industrial plants, and large-scale storage warehouses. However, during the actual production, fabrication, and installation processes, two key factors can still significantly impact the overall quality of bolt-ball space frame structures. (1) Insufficient Strength of High-Strength Bolts In bolt-ball space frame structures, the strength of the high-strength bolts (which are capable of bearing significantly higher loads compared to standard bolts of the same si...

  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...

Spherical grid structures are often used in various locations, such as waiting rooms, stadiums, and coal sheds.   Spherical grid structures typically come in various shapes, including triangles, rhombuses, and hexagons. Therefore, ensuring ease of installation is crucial during construction. The grid frames must be connected and welded together using rods to secure them. Precautions for Spherical Grid Construction: 1. Pay attention to the grid structure itself. Generally speaking, grids come in various shapes, such as triangles, rhombuses, and hexagons. The specific shape to use, as well as the need for more specialized structures, are matters that the fabricator needs to discuss with the client. 2. It is important to note that the fabricator must be mindful of time constraints during grid construction. Generally speaking, delays in grid erection will result in not only a loss of overtime pay, but also a loss of time expense to the employer. Therefore, time is a crucial considerat...

  1. Weld connection The weld connection in space structures mainly adopts arc welding, that is, at the connection of components, the high temperature generated by the arc will melt the welding rod or wire metal placed at the weld position, so that the components are connected together. Arc welding is divided into manual welding, automatic welding and semi-automatic welding. Automatic welding and semi-automatic welding can adopt submerged arc welding or gas shielded welding. 2. Ordinary bolt connection The connecting parts of ordinary bolt connection include bolt rod, nut and washer. Ordinary bolts are made of ordinary carbon structural steel or low alloy structural steel; they are divided into rough bolts and refined bolts. Rough bolts are made of unprocessed round rods, and the bolt hole diameter is 1.0 to 1.5 mm larger than the bolt rod diameter. They are simple to make and easy to install, but the performance is poor when sheared. They are only used for the connection of second...

 1. Bolted Spherical Node Defects Threaded Hole Machining Accuracy Issues The threaded holes in bolted spherical nodes are critical components where machining precision is paramount. In actual production, issues such as positional deviations and uneven pitch frequently occur. For instance, excessive positional deviation can result in loose connections between bolts and spheres, preventing effective load transfer and degrading structural performance. Uneven pitch impedes bolt insertion and tightening, leading to insufficient preload. In large-span space frames, this may cause node loosening and compromise overall structural stability. Bolt Sphere-Member Connection Issues Bolt spheres typically connect to members via bolted joints. In practice, bolt length, diameter, and tightening torque all affect connection quality. Insufficient bolt length compromises the connection's integrity, increasing the risk of disengagement under external forces. Excessive or insufficient tightening torq...
