5.After Sale Service Installation Guideline

---

All components of the steel structure are packed, labeled and shipped to the site where they are installed in a short time. All the materials are fabrication at the workshop, complete assembly can be completed quickly on the site using bolts, nuts, and fasteners. This ensures a fast and efficient process for delivering the final building. On-site supervision and quality control always continue until the end to ensure everything is perfect. Your building is ready.

 Steel structure design overview

Steel structure design is a complex and detailed process that involves multiple steps and techniques. The following are the basic steps and considerations for steel structure design based on search results.

• Determine whether the structure is suitable for steel structure

Before starting the steel structure design, you first need to determine whether the designed structure is suitable for the use of steel structures. Steel structures are usually suitable for high-rise buildings, long-span structures, complex structures, structures with large loads or crane lifting capacity, structures with large vibrations, and structures that require movable or frequent assembly and disassembly. For example, large public facilities such as buildings, stadiums and opera houses are often suitable for steel structures.

• Structural selection and structural layout

Next, structural selection and structural layout need to be carried out. This is an extensive process of characterizing a structure and should therefore be conducted under the guidance of an experienced engineer. Throughout the steel structure design process, "conceptual design" should be emphasized. This is a critical step because it directly affects the subsequent design work and the structural safety of the entire building.

• Estimated cross-section

After the structural layout is completed, a preliminary estimate of the component sections is required. This mainly refers to the assumption of the cross-sectional shape and size of beams, columns, supports, etc. At this stage, different types of steel beams can be selected, such as channel steel, rolled or welded H-section steel sections, etc.

• Structural analysis

Depending on the complexity of the structure, different methods can be chosen for structural analysis. For typical structures, internal forces and deformations can be obtained directly by consulting reference books such as mechanics manuals; for simple structures, analysis can be performed by hand calculation; and for complex structures, it is necessary to establish a model and run a program for detailed structural analysis.

• Engineering judgment

After using structural software for structural analysis, it is also necessary to perform "engineering judgment" on the output results. This includes evaluating the periodicity in all directions, total shear force, deformation characteristics, etc. to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure.

• Component design

Component design is another important link in steel structure design. First, you need to choose the appropriate material. Common materials include Q235 and Q345. When selecting materials, they need to be chosen based on strength and stability requirements. For example, when strength plays a controlling role, you can choose Q345; when stability plays a controlling role, Q235 should be used.

• Node design

The design of connecting nodes is one of the important contents in steel structure design. Before structural analysis, the form of the nodes needs to be fully considered and determined. Nodes can be divided into various forms such as rigid connection, hinged connection and semi-rigid connection. Beginners should choose the first two that can be easily analyzed quantitatively.

• Seismic design of steel structures

The seismic design of steel structures is a key step to ensure the safety of the structure under earthquake action. This includes conducting dynamic analysis to obtain the necessary lateral forces, designing lateral force transmission units, and designing columns and other major components connected to the lateral units. In addition, foundations and partitions need to be designed to ensure the stability and safety of the structure.

The above are the basic steps and precautions for steel structure design. Safety and reliability must be considered during the design process to ensure that the final structure is both safe and economical.
