Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to a construction method of a variable-curvature ultra-depth shuttle-shaped skylight in a steel structure. Background Art

[0002] Steel structures are widely used in the design and construction of large-span, complex spatial structures in modern architecture. Their light weight, high strength and flexible construction make them an important carrier for achieving the integration of architectural aesthetics and functions. In recent years, with the continuous innovation of architectural shapes, special-shaped skylight structures with variable curvature and ultra-depth have gradually become a design trend for large public buildings (such as airport terminals, convention and exhibition centers, etc.). Such structures not only need to meet the complex three-dimensional curved surface form, but also need to take into account the mechanical performance challenges brought by ultra-depth, which puts higher requirements on construction technology.

[0003] However, traditional steel structure construction methods have significant shortcomings when dealing with variable curvature ultra-deep shuttle skylights. Specifically, (1) conventional modeling techniques mostly rely on two-dimensional drawings or static three-dimensional models, which makes it difficult to accurately generate dynamic spatial surfaces with curvature gradient changes, resulting in the accumulation of subsequent construction and design deviations. (2) Existing prefabrication processes have insufficient control over the forming accuracy of multi-curvature composite components, especially in the cold bending process, which is prone to residual stress and curvature errors, affecting the quality of component splicing. (3) The support system generally uses fixed trusses, which lack real-time curvature adjustment capabilities and cannot adapt to the dynamic construction requirements of complex surfaces; the sequential lifting method is mostly used in the assembly stage, which is prone to stress concentration and cumulative errors, and lacks high-precision real-time monitoring and compensation methods. (4) The traditional prestressed tensioning system is simple in design and cannot effectively balance the lateral stress generated by ultra-deep structures, posing a risk to structural stability.

[0004] In the prior art, although some methods attempt to optimize modeling through BIM technology or finite element analysis, they often ignore the dynamic influence of environmental factors (such as temperature and wind load), and fail to achieve real-time data interaction between the model and the construction process. For example, CN116623964A discloses a reverse construction method for a large-span variable curvature roof, in which stands and skywalks are arranged under the roof grid, and curtain wall columns are also arranged on the outside of the skywalk; the stands are arranged in an elliptical shape corresponding to the venue, and an arched truss is arranged on the short span side of the roof grid; the skywalk is arranged corresponding to the stands. By dividing the roof grid into zones, it is beneficial to ensure the overall installation progress of the roof grid and the convenient construction of variable curvature; setting closing sections at the zones is beneficial to the overall connection and uniformity of force during hoisting; through reverse installation and synchronous lifting, it is beneficial to utilize the existing site and lift and install the roof grid in a smaller space; through reverse construction of the stands, aerial walkways and arched trusses below the post-construction, combined with the designed and installed swing columns and bifurcated columns, the nodes can be better strengthened to evenly share the upper load, and finally a complete structural system is formed.

[0005] In addition to the above problems, in the process of component manufacturing and assembly, the precision control of existing processes mostly stays at the millimeter level, which cannot meet the stringent requirements of ultra-deep curved surface structures for sub-millimeter precision. At the same time, the support adjustment and error compensation devices have a low degree of automation and rely on manual intervention, which limits their efficiency and reliability. These problems seriously restrict the efficient and precise construction of variable curvature ultra-deep steel structures, and a systematic innovative method is urgently needed to break through the technical bottleneck. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the problem that the prior art cannot satisfy the sub-millimeter precision of ultra-deep curved surface structures, the present invention provides a construction method for an ultra-deep shuttle-shaped skylight with variable curvature in a steel structure.

[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A construction method for a variable curvature ultra-deep shuttle-shaped skylight in a steel structure comprises the following steps: S1: Establish a three-dimensional hyperbolic space surface model based on parametric modeling and generate a curvature gradient change value matrix; S2: Build an adjustable arc-shaped support truss system, and use the curvature as a reference to match the truss with the three-dimensional double-curvature space surface model in real time; S3: Use the reverse assembly method to hoist the unit components, and assemble them in the air in the order of alternating from the middle to the two sides; S4: Use 3D laser scanner to monitor assembly errors and achieve millimeter-level precision compensation through multi-directional adjustment devices at nodes; S5: After the main structure is assembled, a prestressed tension cable system is applied to balance the lateral stress generated by the ultra-deep structure.

[0008] Preferably, in S1, a dynamic calculation model including material creep coefficient and temperature deformation compensation is established by combining BIM technology with finite element analysis.

[0009] Preferably, the dynamic calculation model includes a wind load dynamic response coefficient and an earthquake action correction factor, and real-time environmental sensor data is used to dynamically correct the model during modeling.

[0010] Preferably, in S3, the adjustable arc-shaped support truss system is composed of a number of standard segments, each segment is provided with a curvature adjustment mechanism, and its adjustment accuracy reaches 0.1° / m.

[0011] Preferably, in S4, the unit component hoisting adopts a modular hoisting system, including an electromagnetic adsorption hoist and an anti-sway control system, and the hoisting positioning accuracy reaches ±3mm.

[0012] Preferably, in S4, the unit components are variable curvature shuttle-shaped unit components manufactured by a segmented prefabrication process to construct an adjustable arc-shaped support truss system, wherein each unit component includes at least three arc segments with different curvature radii.

[0013] Preferably, in S2, the unit component is manufactured by a double curvature cold bending forming process, and the surface curvature error after forming is controlled within the range of ±1.5 mm / m.

[0014] Preferably, in S5, the multi-directional adjustment device is a three-dimensional adjustable cast steel node with X / Y / Z three-directional adjustment functions, an adjustment stroke of ±50mm, and an adjustment accuracy of 0.5mm.

[0015] Preferably, in S6, the prestressed tensioning cable system adopts a cross-net arrangement, including a dual system of primary cables and secondary cables, and the tensioning force is applied in stages and the cable force changes are monitored in real time.

[0016] Preferably, the prestressed tensioning cable system is provided with an intelligent anchor, and a built-in fiber optic Bragg grating sensor monitors the cable force value in real time. The monitoring data is fed back to the central control platform through a wireless transmission module to realize closed-loop control of the tensioning force.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The construction method of a variable curvature ultra-deep shuttle-shaped skylight in a steel structure of the present invention solves the construction problem of complex spatial curved surfaces through digital design-factory prefabrication-intelligent installation-real-time monitoring and compensation. Through the construction technology system driven by digital twins, the world's difficult problems in the morphological accuracy, mechanical stability and construction efficiency of variable curvature ultra-deep steel structures have been overcome, providing a popularizable technical paradigm for ultra-deep and variable curvature steel structures, and promoting innovation in architectural form. At the same time, modularization and mechanized operations reduce dependence on manual labor, improve both construction period and safety, help improve construction efficiency, and prefabricated unit components combined with dynamic monitoring help reduce costs.

[0018] Furthermore, through the coupling of BIM and finite elements, the dynamic calculation model can incorporate parameters such as material creep and temperature deformation in real time, making the design closer to actual working conditions and reducing the risk of rework in the later stage. At the same time, the dynamic response coefficient of wind load and earthquake correction factor are introduced, and the model is dynamically corrected in combination with environmental sensor data, which can significantly improve the structure's disaster resistance and reduce the probability of failure under extreme weather or earthquakes.

[0019] Furthermore, the millimeter-level adjustment of the truss curvature can be achieved through the standard segment + curvature adjustment mechanism (accuracy 0.1° / m), solving the deformation matching problem of ultra-deep structures caused by their own weight or temperature.

[0020] Furthermore, real-time collection and feedback of assembly errors are achieved through three-dimensional laser scanning, and the multi-directional adjustment device (X / Y / Z three-directional adjustment, accuracy of 0.5mm) compensates for millimeter-level deviations to ensure that the overall curved surface is smooth and continuous.

[0021] Furthermore, prestress is applied in stages through a cross-mesh cable system (primary / secondary cables), which effectively balances the lateral thrust of the ultra-deep structure and reduces the burden of the support reaction force on the main structure.

[0022] Furthermore, fiber grating sensors + wireless transmission are used to achieve closed-loop control of cable tension, dynamically compensate for load changes, and improve the long-term service performance of the structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
