How to design steel space frame structure

Space frame design methods. Good space frame design has the advantages of light weight, high stiffness, excellent seismic performance, convenient factory production, convenient installation, and can withstand uneven settlement of the foundation; the grid structure has strong adaptability and is suitable for large, medium and small spans. The support is flexible. It can adopt peripheral...

Tube design and joint configuration of space frame

The cross-section of the space frame tube shall be determined according to the strength and stability calculations. In order to reduce the calculated length of the pressure rod and increase its stability, measures  can be adopted. They are adding a re-dividing rod and a supporting rod. The joints of the flat space frame and the...

Space frame high strength bolt is the most important component of space frame structure. It can turn inside the conic elements to connect pipe member to the node, and resist against the pulling forces occurring in the system. The maximum tensile strength of the material used for space frame high strength bolt has a lot...

The production of space frame sleeves is carried out according to the following process: Round steel → rough forging → torch treatment → machining 1. Round steel cutting with a sawing bed. 2. Round steel is forged with a pressure machine. The forging temperature is  1200 ℃to 1150 ℃ to make the temperature uniform. The...

Xuzhou TV Tower is a landmark building in Xuzhou. Xuzhou TV Tower, built in 1990, is located on the west side of Yunlong Park. The single-layer joint ball shell space frame with a diameter of 21m is adopted, and the construction and installation method of ground assembly and the overall lifting to the design elevation...

Space frame ball joint is an important member of space frame structure system. It connects tubes with high strength bolt. The below picture show how it works. High-strength bolts are the most critical force components throughout the node, and its intensity level has to reach 8.8 or 10.9. In China, the space frame ball joint...
