Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application with application number 202311180460.2 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on September 13, 2023, and incorporates all the contents of this application by reference.
[0002] This application relates to the technical field of building construction, for example, to a construction device and a construction method for a suspended steel structure.
Background Art
[0003] For high-rise buildings, the roof steel truss structure is often supported at the top of the core tube. The floor load accumulates upwards layer by layer through the structural steel columns of the suspended floor and is transmitted to the roof steel truss, and then transmitted to the foundation through the core tube. The foundation is the load-bearing structure below the ground of the building. The suspended steel structure is composed of multiple suspended floor structures. The suspended steel structure has advantages such as clear force-bearing, small cross-section of steel columns, and large floor space, and is gradually being widely applied.
[0004] The most common construction method for the suspended steel structure system is the progressive construction method. Construction is carried out layer by layer from the bottom up until it is connected to the roof steel truss. Then, the suspended steel structure is passively unloaded to achieve the conversion of the force-bearing state of the outer frame layer. When building using such a method, the stress of the suspended steel structure can be converted, but it is difficult to control the vertical deformation value of the layer. Moreover, it is applicable to a suspended structure where some layers are suspended or the number of suspended layers is small. In the case of a fully suspended structure for all floors of a super high-rise building, the stress of the members increases significantly with the increase in the number of layers, and the vertical deformation value is large. Therefore, such a passive unloading method is no longer applicable.
[0005] Currently, when constructing the suspended structure for all floors of such skyscrapers, the following method is mainly employed: After constructing the suspended steel structure floor by floor from bottom to top using the forward construction method, temporary support steel columns are installed on the suspended steel structure, and the subsequent roof steel trusses are attached. After the installation of the roof steel trusses is complete, the temporary support steel columns are removed, and the entire suspended steel structure is lifted in place to complete the change in the load-bearing state of the suspended steel structure. After the lifting is complete, structural steel columns are fitted between the suspended steel structure and the roof steel trusses and fixed in place to complete the process. In this method, after the lifting of the entire suspended steel structure is complete, it is difficult to control the deformation between floors, making it difficult to determine the length of the structural steel columns, which increases the difficulty of fitting the structural steel columns at this stage and affects the construction efficiency of the suspended structure. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are merely used for distinction in the description and have no special meaning.
[0023] Figures 1 to 8 show a construction apparatus and construction method for a suspended steel structure submitted in one embodiment of the present application, the construction apparatus being able to complete the installation of the suspended steel structure, the suspended steel structure comprising two separate parts, a lifting layer 10 and a non-lifting layer 20, the construction apparatus for the suspended steel structure comprising a core tube 1, a bottom temporary support structure 2, a roof steel truss 4, a nodal support structure 3, and a roof lift structure 5. The core tube 1 is installed vertically and serves as the construction base for the suspended steel structure. The non-lifted layer 20 and lifted layer 10 of the suspended steel structure are both constructed surrounding the core tube 1. The bottom temporary support structure 2 is installed around the bottom of the core tube 1, with the core tube 1 at its center. Construction of the lifted layer 10 begins from above the bottom temporary support structure 2, and the bottom temporary support structure 2 can support the lifted layer 10. The roof steel truss 4 is installed at the top of the core tube 1, and the non-lifted layer 20 is installed below the roof steel truss 4. The nodal support structure 3 is fixed to the steel truss 4 and includes a connecting plate 31, one end of which is detachably connected to the lifting layer 10 and the other end of which is detachably connected to the non-lifting layer 20, so that the connecting plate 31 can transmit the pressure of the non-lifting layer 20 to the lifting layer 10, and furthermore, the installation of the connecting plate 31 creates a gap between the lifting layer 10 and the non-lifting layer 20, providing vertical deformation space in subsequent processes, and the roof lift structure 5 is provided on the roof steel truss 4 and can be connected to the lifting layer 10 in order to lift the lifting layer 10 in place.
[0024] The above-mentioned construction device for the suspended steel structure divides the suspended steel structure, which requires construction using a connecting plate 31, into two units: a lifted layer 10 and a non-lifted layer 20. During the construction of the non-lifted layer 20 and the roof steel truss 4, pressure is transmitted from the non-lifted layer 20 to the lifted layer 10, providing support to the non-lifted layer 20. After construction is complete, the connecting plate 31 is removed and the lifted layer 10 is lifted in place. The gap between the non-lifted layer 20 and the lifted layer 10 disappears due to the vertical deformation of the non-lifted layer 20 and the lifted layer 10's in-place lifting action, fixing the non-lifted layer 20 and the lifted layer 10 together and connecting them as a single unit. This eliminates the need to fit a structural steel column between them, reducing construction costs and difficulty.
[0025] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting plate 31 is detachably connected to the structural steel column of the non-raised layer 20 by a fastener 32, and the other end is detachably connected to the structural steel column of the raised layer 10 by a fastener 32. Exemplarily, the fastener 32 employs high-strength bolts, and multiple fasteners 32 are provided, spaced apart along the axial direction of the structural steel column. Both ends of the connecting plate 31 are connected to the structural steel column of the raised layer 10 and the structural steel column of the non-raised layer 20, respectively. Additionally, a reinforcing bead is provided on one side of the connecting plate 31 to meet the need to support the loads of the roof steel truss 4 and the non-raised layer 20.
[0026] In this embodiment, the roof lift structure 5 includes power lift equipment and a flexible lift wire. One end of the flexible lift wire is connected to the power lift equipment, and the other end is connected to the lifting layer 10. The power lift equipment may be a jack or an electric hoist. In this embodiment, the power lift equipment is a jack, and in this case, the flexible lift wire is a stranded steel wire. Multiple groups of power lift equipment are provided at intervals on the roof steel truss 4. The flexible lift wire corresponds one-to-one with the power lift equipment. When lifting the lifting layer 10, all the power lift equipment is controlled to lift the lifting layer 10 synchronously, ensuring the stability of the load-bearing capacity of the lifting layer 10.
[0027] In another embodiment of the present invention, a method for constructing a suspended steel structure is further provided, wherein the construction is carried out using the above-mentioned construction device for the suspended steel structure, and the construction method includes the following steps.
[0028] In S1, a bottom temporary support structure 2 and a core tube 1 are provided, where the core tube 1 is located at the center of the bottom temporary support structure 2, and the height of the bottom temporary support structure 2 must meet the needs of the designed suspended steel structure construction method, and may be a steel structure or a reinforced concrete structure.
[0029] In S2, the bottom temporary support structure 2 is constructed using a sequential construction method, with the steel structure of each floor being built from bottom to top up to the mth floor, where n > m > 0, n is the total number of floors suspended, and m is an integer.
[0030] In S3, the connecting plate 31 is attached to the structural steel column of the m-th floor steel structure using fasteners 32.
[0031] In S4, the support steel column 21 is detachably connected to the tip of the connecting plate 31, and there is a gap between the support steel column 21 and the structural steel column of the steel structure on the mth floor. Construction of the roof steel truss 4 and the steel structure on the mth floor and above continues, with the connecting plate 31 as the boundary, the suspended steel structure below the connecting plate 31 is the lifted layer 10, and the suspended steel structure above the connecting plate 31 is the non-lifted layer 20. The support steel column 21 can support the roof steel truss 4 as a structural steel column of the non-lifted layer, the pressure of the non-lifted layer 20 is transmitted to the steel structure of the lifted layer 10 via the connecting plate 31, and the connecting plate 31 acts as a temporary support. Furthermore, the connecting plate 31 provides a constant gap between the lifted layer 10 and the non-lifted layer 20 along the axial direction of the core tube 1, and this gap is provided based on the amount of vertical deformation (the amount of vertical deformation includes the vertical deformation value of the lifted layer 10 and the vertical deformation value of the non-lifted layer 20 after unloading) obtained from simulation analysis in the early stages of construction.
[0032] In this embodiment, considering the controllable degree of vertical deformation of the non-lifted layer 20 and the roof steel truss 4, 3≧nm>0.
[0033] In this step, if the number of non-lifted layers 20 is greater than two, the non-lifted layers 20 are constructed using the reverse construction method, placing the non-lifted layers 20 in a tensile state and avoiding a change in the load-bearing state in the later stages. In other words, the construction of the suspended steel structure in this embodiment is carried out using a forward-reverse connection method.
[0034] In the nodal support structure 3, both ends of the connecting plate 31 are detachably connected to the lifting layer 10 and the support steel column 21 by high-strength bolts. The high-strength bolts are tightened to their final position at this stage.
[0035] In S5, the nodal support structure 3 is removed, and the unloading of the non-lifted layer 20 and the roof steel truss 4 is completed.
[0036] In S6, the roof lift structure 5 is attached to the roof steel truss 4, the roof lift structure 5 is connected to the lifting layer 10, and the lifting layer 10 is lifted in place. The roof lift structure 5 is connected to the mth floor of the lifting layer 10, achieving the lifting of all floors of the lifting layer 10 and completing the transition of the lifting layer 10 from a compressed state to a tensile state.
[0037] In S7, the structural steel columns of the lifted layer 10 and the support steel columns 21 are fixed together, and the lifted layer 10 and the non-lifted layer 20 are fixed together as a single unit. The gap between the non-lifted layer 20 and the lifted layer 10 disappears due to the vertical deformation of the non-lifted layer 20 and the in-situ lifting deformation of the lifted layer 10, and in this case, it can be understood that the two structural steel columns may be connected by welding. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the structural steel columns of the lifted layer 10 and the support steel columns 21 are still connected by a combination of connecting plates 31 and bolts, thereby increasing the utilization efficiency of the connecting plates 31 and reducing construction costs. The connecting plates 31 are provided with multiple mounting holes for high-strength bolts to pass through, which are spaced along the axial direction of the core tube 1.
[0038] In S8, the temporary support structure 2 at the bottom is unloaded, the residual stress in the lifted layer 10 structure is fully released, the roof lift structure 5 is unloaded synchronously, and the construction of the suspended steel structure of each floor is completed.
[0039] In the construction method of the suspended steel structure described above, the introduction of the nodal support structure 3 allows the structural steel columns of the non-lifted layer 20 to directly support the roof steel truss 4 during construction, replacing the temporary support steel columns in related technologies. This eliminates the need to replace the temporary support steel columns with the structural steel columns in subsequent processes, significantly optimizing the temporary support measures during the lifting operation of the suspended steel structure and reducing the difficulty of construction.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the construction apparatus and method for the suspended steel structure described above divide the suspended steel structure into two units, a lifted layer and a non-lifted layer, and perform the construction on each separately. The lifted layer and the non-lifted layer are detachably connected using a nodal temporary support device. After the nodal temporary support is unloaded and the lifted layer is lifted in place, the gap between the lifted layer and the non-lifted layer disappears, eliminating the need to fit them together using temporary support steel columns. This eliminates material loss of temporary support steel columns, simplifies the construction of the suspended steel structure, and reduces the difficulty and cost of construction.
