Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically to a spatial inverted triangular pyramidal steel truss and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] A truss is a structure composed of members connected at both ends by hinges. Trusses are planar or spatial structures typically consisting of straight members and triangular units. Truss members primarily bear axial tension or compression, thus making full use of the material's strength. For large spans, trusses can save material compared to solid-web beams, reducing self-weight and increasing stiffness. The advantages of trusses are that the members primarily bear tension or compression, fully utilizing the material's potential, saving material, and reducing structural weight. Commonly used types include steel trusses, reinforced concrete trusses, prestressed concrete trusses, timber trusses, steel-timber composite trusses, and steel-concrete composite trusses.

[0003] With the continuous increase in the span of steel structures and the development of irregular structures, especially the widespread application of large-span trusses and space frame structures, segmenting the steel structure and using small and medium-sized equipment for ground assembly and large equipment for segmented hoisting is a good solution to reduce the amount of high-altitude assembly and welding work. Currently, the structural form of inverted triangular trusses is mostly composed of diagonal web members spliced ​​between the top and bottom members to form an inverted triangular shape. During the construction process, if there are inverted triangular trusses in the steel structure, the ground assembly measures for the inverted triangular trusses mostly adopt single-point fixed support measures in the form of welding. This results in a significant amount of time, manpower, and resources being spent on readjusting (marking points, laying out lines) the assembly measures after each truss assembly and the transfer of the entire component, and the assembly measures lack versatility. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a truss structure that is easy to assemble to meet the requirements of rapid on-site construction. Summary of the Invention
