Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of suspended spherical steel structure construction technology, and in particular to a rapid assembly construction method for large-space indoor suspended spherical steel structures. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, more and more science and technology exhibition halls are gradually transforming from traditional cinemas to new spherical screen wall cinemas. Spherical steel structures, as the skeleton of spherical screen walls, have comprehensive advantages such as light weight, good seismic performance, high temperature resistance, and less environmental pollution, and are widely used in the field of large public venue buildings.

[0003] 1. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a BIM-based installation method for a large-span steel structure spherical curved reticulated shell (Publication No.: CN113434929B), which includes the following steps: establishing a BIM model; processing the parts required for installing the reticulated shell; measuring, positioning, and correcting the supports; erecting a starting frame operating platform; assembling the first span of the curved reticulated shell; and assembling the other spans of the curved reticulated shell. This method avoids the limitations of traditional construction methods for large-span steel structure reticulated shell buildings, providing a reasonable, efficient, and precise installation method for such projects with unique appearances and complex structures. The entire process is assisted by BIM technology, reducing the input of turnover materials, saving labor costs, reducing labor intensity, and increasing installation speed, resulting in particularly outstanding economic benefits.

[0004] 2. An installation method for a spherical building steel structure (publication number: CN106481083A), which includes the following steps: (1) Foundation inspection and acceptance, measurement point positioning; (2) Install steel columns from bottom to top, and after each layer is installed, install the next layer; (3) Install the steel columns first outer ring, then middle ring, then the crossbeam between the outer ring and the middle ring, and finally the inner ring and the crossbeam between the inner ring and the middle ring. Complete the next section in this order, and then connect the crossbeam between the two sections to form a planar structure. Continue in this way until the planar structure of this layer is completed, and then hand it over to the civil engineering for platform construction; (4) Repeat steps (2) to (3) to complete the installation of the next layer of structure until the structure is constructed to the top; (5) The top is a grid shell structure. The grid shell installation starts from the center of the indoor structural truss as the assembly starting point, expands to the surrounding area for assembly and welding, and then starts to lift until the lifting reaches the design elevation and the assembly is completed; (6) The grid shell is in place, aligned and welded. After inspection and approval, the structure is unloaded.

How to ensure accuracy while taking into account construction quality, feasibility, and improving construction efficiency has become a construction challenge for spherical curtain wall steel structures.
