The Composition of Steel Structure Factories Warehouses
The main load-bearing components of steel structure factories/warehouses are all made of steel, including steel structure foundations, steel columns, steel beams, steel roof trusses, and steel roof covers.
Steel structure warehouses/workshops are a common form in modern industrial buildings. Their characteristic lies in that their main structures are mainly composed of steel. This structural form has many advantages, such as high strength, light weight, fast construction speed, good seismic performance, and being environmentally friendly and recyclable.
1. Steel Structure Foundation
The foundation of a steel structure factory is the base of the entire structure and is responsible for transmitting the weight and loads of the superstructure to the ground. There are various foundation forms, and common ones include independent foundations, strip foundations, raft foundations, etc. The specific choice depends on geological conditions, the weight of the superstructure, and the distribution of loads. During foundation construction, it is necessary to ensure the quality to guarantee the stability and safety of the factory. The most widely used foundation for steel structure workshops/warehouses is the independent foundation.
2. Steel Columns
Steel columns are the main vertical load-bearing members of steel structure factories and support the upper beam, roof truss, and other structures. Steel columns are generally made of hot-rolled H-section steel, welded H-section steel, etc., and have good bearing capacity and flexural rigidity. The installation of steel columns requires precise alignment to ensure that the verticality and horizontality meet the requirements, so as to guarantee the stability of the entire structure. The most widely used steel columns in steel structure workshops/warehouses are composed of H-section steel columns.
3. Steel Beams
Steel beams are the components that connect steel columns and bear transverse loads. They have various forms, such as I-section steel beams, box beams, truss beams, etc. The design of steel beams needs to be accurately calculated according to factors such as the span and load of the factory to ensure their bearing capacity and stability. The installation of steel beams also requires precise construction to ensure a firm and reliable connection with steel columns. The most widely used steel beams in steel structure workshops/warehouses are composed of H-section steel columns.
4. Steel Roof Trusses
Steel roof trusses are the skeletons that support the roof structure and are usually composed of steel beams, steel columns, and support systems. They are responsible for transmitting the loads on the roof (such as wind loads, self-weight, etc.) to the lower structure. The design of steel roof trusses needs to consider the stability, rigidity, and economy of the structure to ensure that they can withstand various adverse loads and maintain a good working state. The most widely used steel roof trusses in steel structure workshops/warehouses are composed of various specifications of steel.
5. Steel Roof Covers
Steel roof covers are the structural layers covering the roof trusses and mainly play roles such as sheltering from wind and rain, and providing thermal insulation. The materials of steel roof covers are diverse and can be color steel plates, profiled steel plates, sandwich panels, photovoltaic panels, etc. These materials are not only lightweight but also have good mechanical properties and can meet the usage requirements in different environments. The installation of steel roof covers needs to closely cooperate with the roof trusses to ensure sealing and stability.
The main load-bearing components of steel structure factories/warehouses, through scientific and reasonable design and precise construction, jointly form a stable, safe, and efficient industrial building system.
