Instability analysis of steel space frame structure

 1. The steel space frame structure is divided into overall instability and local instability. Most of the overall instability is caused by local instability. When the slenderness ratio of the compression part or the bending part exceeds the allowable value, the stability will be lost. It is affected by many objective factors, such as load changes, initial defects of steel, and different supporting conditions etc.. Support is often ignored by designers or builders, which is also one of the reasons for the overall instability.

2. Due to the different positions of the hoisting points, the force of the pipe of the steel truss or space frame structure may change, resulting in instability; the overturning, collapse or deformation of the scaffold is mostly caused by insufficient connecting rods and no support.

Therefore, when designing the steel space frame structure, it should be designed by technical personnel with rich work experience. It should not be taken lightly and try to avoid the above-mentioned hidden dangers. Our company has more than 10 years of rich experience in the field of steel structure, professional and technical personnel, professional equipment, and won the trust of many customers.

How to avoid deformation of bolt ball space frames

   The bolt ball space frame uses the bolted ball as the node between the steel rods, which plays the role of support and leverage. The bolted ball space frame is usually used outdoors, and it will be deformed due to some external factors. So how should we avoid the deformation of the bolt ball space frame?

1. The front page needs to be tied up during transportation, and some more support points should be added. Try to choose wood for padding, so as to avoid deformation of columns, beams, tie rods and other connecting parts during transportation.

2. Use two-point hoisting when loading and unloading the bolted ball net frame. If the bolt ball net frame is too long, a pole can be used and the lifting point can be appropriately increased.

3. When the bolted ball space frame is stacked, the number of stacked layers can be reduced. At the same time, it is necessary to appropriately increase the supporting points to prevent the bolted ball space frame from being deformed by compression.

Connectors such as bolted ball space frames often experience extrusion and deformation. In order to reduce the occurrence of these situations, you can learn more about the above information. Only in this way can the deformation of the connecting parts be avoided and reduced, and the utilization rate of the bolted ball space frame can be improved.

7 advantages of space frame structure

 Most of today's industrial warehouses are built with a space frame structure. Why does the space frame structure have such magic to attract these owners? I have summarized 7 advantages to share with you:

1. Anti-earthquake disaster and anti-storm: the anti-seismic level is above level 8, and it can withstand level 11 storm (wind force 140km/h).

2. Anti-rust treatment and anti-corrosion: light steel structures generally use hot-dip galvanized steel plates and V-type connectors as the frame. Good rust resistance, high compressive strength and long service life. No distortion, no deformation, no erosion, firm structure. The design scheme of the steel structure has a service life of 50 years.

3. Safety and fire prevention.

4. Thermal insulation: The thermal insulation function is further improved. Building environmental protection and energy saving can reach 65%, exceeding the national regulations on building environmental protection and energy saving.

5. Protect the ecological environment.

6. Good sound insulation performance: meet the sound insulation requirements of workshops.

7. Space frame steel structure industrial warehouse are widely used in outdoor spaces: power plants, cement plants, clinker plants, etc. will build coal storage, cement or clinker warehouses.
