The key factors and solutions that affect the success of the overall installation and construction of the space frame with soil method

The overall installation and construction of the space frame earth method requires relatively high requirements for the construction plan and the operating staff. In terms of safety management, the preparation and approval of the construction plan, safety technical disclosure, staff training and education, and safety inspection and acceptance must be done carefully. In particular, the overall improvement and installation of the grid must be refined and improved in advance from the plan, all possible problems must be considered, and corresponding preventive measures must be taken.

The unified coordinated command and the overall cooperation of all operators are critical, and targeted training and exercises are required before the process is implemented.

The overall improvement plan for space frame processing requires technically perfect measures to address the difficulties and hazards of the construction process. The main points are as follows:

(1) Choose the appropriate number of lifting brackets: According to the space frame weigh, select the appropriate number of lifting brackets to lift the space frame processing project as a whole after calculation.

(2) Fair arrangement of lifting brackets: The arrangement of lifting brackets is very important. If its not fair, it will cause uneven forces on the lifting brackets and cause large deformation of the space frame. By checking the overall weight of the space frame and the weight distribution, the position of the lifting bracket is determined, so that the bracket basically divides the space frame weigh. In addition, pay attention to the influence of the position of the hanging points on the force of the space frame members and nodes to avoid deformation or even damage beyond the permitted range.

(3) Correctly erect the hawser cable: the angle of hawser cable erection is controlled between 30 and 45 degrees, and it is tensioned with a 5t hand chain hoist. During the lifting process, the grid members may interfere with the hawser cable. At this time, the spare hawser cable must be erected and fastened first, and then the original cable wind rope should be loosened.

(4) Choose a suitable lifting bracket: Considering the installation height and stability of the bracket, we chose the standard section of the QTZ125 tower crane as the lifting bracket. The lifting bracket composed of the standard section of the tower crane is far more satisfactory in terms of strength and bending performance. The lifting needs of the grid. It is simple and safe to ensure the stability of the lifting bracket.

(5) The ground endurance of the foundation of the lifting bracket should meet the requirements to avoid uneven settlement after the force is applied, and the foundation should be determined by calculation.


2. The chain hoist breaks

The chain hoist is the key facility of the whole process, and it is necessary to ensure that there are no problems in the hoist during the lifting.

To this end, take the following measures:

The position of the gourd is reasonably arranged to ensure that the force of the gourd is even.

Choose an appropriate number of hoists to ensure a certain safety factor when hoisting.

Choose a gourd of fair tonnage to ensure that the gourd is not damaged when it is lifted.

The gourd should be strictly inspected and carefully maintained before use, and it has normal conditions of use.

Always check the quality changes of the gourd during the lifting process to ensure the smooth lifting.

3. Work at high altitude

Space frame installation work should be placed on the ground as much as possible to reduce high-altitude operations and increase the construction safety factor. When the space frame is lifted, the lift area should be set up to prevent unrelated staff from entering the work area.

What kind of construction works is the space frame suitable for?

   Space frame is a space structure made of multiple members connected by nodes in the form of grid, adopt the construction method of factory manufacturing and site installation, which can shorten the period, reduce cost, improve economic performance. A more professional company can supply better Space frame, and choosing better materials can reduce the cost, which will lead a more prominent performance in the durability and aesthetic. 

   Space frame company can be used in the construction of the station roof, the stadium, the stands, the gas station, the theater the exhibition hall and so on. In addition, the dome structure of Space frame company is suitable for large-span roof, because it has the advantages of space force, big stiffness, saving in material, good seismic performance, low building height, attractive appearance. At present, the roof of large stadiums, exhibition halls, cinemas, theaters, industrial factories, warehouses and other construction projects adopts dome structure.



The top chord assembly and welding steps of the space frame

The top chord assembly and electric welding of steel structure space frame work steps:
1.Put in the longitudinal bars of the upper chord plan space frame to check whether the longitudinal parts and specifications of the top chord ball are appropriate.
2.Put in the transverse bars of the top chord plan space frame to check whether the longitudinal parts and specifications of the top chord ball are appropriate.
3. According to the proper adjustment of the diagonal web member of the three-dimensional small assembly module, the longitudinal and transverse bars of the top chord and the electric welding ball are properly in place. The way to adjust the oblique web members to not only laser cut too long bars, but also to open the angle of view of the transverse bars with inverted chains, so that the rods are properly in place. Ensure the proper size of the top chord grid.
4. Adjust the gaps, and weld the upper chord members after the gap foundation reaches the standard.
5. After the upper chord is fixed, weld the lower chord ball and the transverse bar to make the connection strong.
6. Check space frame specifications and push forward gradually.
The installation of web member and upper chord should be carried out in coordination with each other.
7.After the completion of the installation of the space frame pavement, the project acceptance shall be carried out according to the general specifications of the strips or blocks for the installation of the space frame.
8. The space frame to be hoisted must be hoisted (lifted) after the welding process is finished, the welding appearance quality and the welding ultrasonic flaw detector are reported to reach the standard.
