Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of super high-rise tower crown construction technology, and specifically relates to a super high-rise spatial grid tower crown steel structure and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of super high-rise steel structures, the tower crown at the top is indispensable. The style of the tower crown is designed according to its shape and functional requirements. Most existing super high-rise tower crowns are constructed using steel structures, with vertical and circumferential members forming a framework in the shape of a tower crown. However, it is relatively rare to design the tower crown as a spatial grid structure, and even rarer to use curved members to connect the spatial grid structure with openings at the top and bottom. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct targeted design for the distribution of curved members, the connection of nodes, and the setting of ring beams in the spatial grid tower crown steel structure. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a super high-rise space grid tower crown steel structure and its construction method, which solves technical problems such as the distribution design of arc-shaped members, the connection of nodes, and the setting of ring beams in space grid tower crown steel structures.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A super high-rise space grid-type tower crown steel structure includes a main structure and a tower crown unit installed on the top of the main structure, with an annular opening at the top of the tower crown unit; The tower crown unit is a spatial grid-type steel structure, which is a curved platform-shaped structure with an annular opening at the top. The lower part of the tower crown unit is open, with a rectangular opening surface. It also includes four vertical surfaces and a top surface. Among the four vertical surfaces, three are vertical or nearly vertical, and one is a vertical arc-shaped curved surface. The vertical arc-shaped curved surface and the top surface are connected by a smooth arc and gradually expand from top to bottom. The four vertical surfaces and the top surface are all formed by a set of first arc-shaped rods and a set of second arc-shaped rods connected in an alternating manner. The first set of first arc-shaped rods are arc-shaped rods and are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The first set of first arc-shaped rods and the second set of second arc-shaped rods are arranged in an X-shape and intersect in a triangular shape at the top and bottom. The intersection of the triangular tops of the first and second arc-shaped rods is connected by a top ring beam, the inside of which is a ring-shaped opening; The first and second arc-shaped rods are connected at their intersection point by a standard ring beam, and the bottom triangular intersection point is also connected by a standard ring beam; and the bottom intersection point is connected to the support beam of the main structure by a bottom connector.
[0005] Furthermore, at least one reinforcing rod is provided in the middle of the top ring beam, and the reinforcing rod is located in the middle of the annular opening; the reinforcing rod is located at the intersection of the top of the first arc-shaped rod and the second arc-shaped rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the first arc-shaped rod and the second arc-shaped rod are connected at their top and bottom junctions via a node connecting plate; the node connecting plate is a vertical plate, and the height of the vertical plate is greater than the height of the mating surface required for the connection.
[0007] Furthermore, both the first and second arc-shaped rods are disconnected at the X intersection point to connect to the standard ring beam. After disconnection, they are divided into an upper inverted V-shape and a lower V-shape. The upper V and the lower inverted V are connected by a node connecting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the top ring beam and the standard ring beam are composed of box beams, which are connected by welding at the joints; the box beams at the joints are also equipped with beam connecting plates, and there are at least three beam connecting plates, which are respectively set at the joint connecting plates and at the connection lines between the upper and lower outer ends of the arc-shaped bars on both sides.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom connector is a cuboid with an opening at the bottom, and has a bottom connecting rib plate inside; the connecting beam rib plate is provided in at least two layers and is evenly spaced; the bottom connecting rib plate and the bottom connector are welded together.
[0010] Furthermore, the support beam is a box beam, and the support beam is equipped with support beam ribs inside; the support beam ribs are sequentially connected to the bottom connecting ribs and the two sides of the bottom connector.
[0011] Furthermore, a construction method for a super high-rise space grid tower crown steel structure includes the following specific steps: Step 1: Based on the detailed CAD drawings and BIM software modeling drawings, break down the tower crown unit into individual components and label them; Step 2: Mark the connection point of the standard ring beam with the X-shaped intersection of the first and second arc-shaped rods as the second node; mark the connection point of the standard ring beam with the V-shaped intersection of the first and second arc-shaped rods as the first node; number the first and second nodes sequentially according to their positions. Step 3: Install the tower crown from bottom to top. First, complete the main structure in advance and verify the position and strength of the support beams. Then, hoist the first node and its corresponding first and second arc-shaped rods. After the construction is completed, verify the position and install temporary supports. Step 4: Then, construct the second node of each layer and its corresponding first and second arc-shaped rods in sequence to form a spatial grid frame until the top is enclosed to form a ring-shaped opening; Step 5: At the annular opening, the top ring beam is used for the finishing construction, and then the reinforcing rods are installed, thus completing the construction of the super high-rise space grid tower crown steel structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the first and second arc-shaped rods are connected by connecting plates at nodes, and beam connecting plates are provided on the extension lines of the corresponding connecting plates at the standard ring beam and the top ring beam; beam connecting plates are also provided on both sides of the beam connecting plates at the outer sides of the first and second arc-shaped rods respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the first node is connected to the support beam via a bottom connector, which is welded from steel plates. The bottom connector is an inverted U-shaped part, and a bottom connecting rib is provided inside the bottom connector.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in: This invention utilizes a first and a second arc-shaped rod, with their midpoints intersecting and their tops and bottoms merging to form the framework of a spatial grid-like tower crown. Reinforcement is provided at the first node, the second node, and the connection points of the reinforcing rods at the annular opening, ensuring the structural integrity and consistency of stress. The use of standard and top ring beams categorizes and addresses the spatial grid framework formation and the constraints of the annular opening, facilitating on-site construction. Furthermore, the smooth curvature of one side and the top of the tower crown not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also promotes uniform stress distribution.
[0015] This invention effectively solves the technical problems of the distribution design of arc-shaped members, the connection of nodes, and the setting of ring beams in curved spatial grid tower crowns, and is extremely easy and convenient to construct and to bear overall stress. Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the following description, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention; the main objectives and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the methods particularly pointed out in the description.
