Features of Application of Spatial Metal Farms in the Production and Public Buildings

Abstract

Latticed metal spatial cover designs have many advantages over traditional structures, for example, in front of flat farms. However, their mass application is hampered by the following factors: the complexity of the implementation of nodal connections, the laboriousness of manufacturing, the laboriousness of transportation and installation. Another factor that restrains the widespread use of spatial factors is their little study. This is especially reflected in the restriction of the use of new structures or on the attempt of non-standard use of known structures, etc. The author of this work in his project practice used a structural plate as an inclined covering in a production building. The task in hand does not have a known direct analog of the already developed structural coating plate for use under the specified conditions. The authors proposed a new technical solution of the structural plate. The authors proposed to collect spatial structures by combining flat inclined trusses. All elements of flat trusses are proposed to be made from metal corners, and the nodes of trusses are made of sheet parts. To achieve this goal, the authors solved a number of problems: the refinement of nodal loads acting on the inclined spatial structure; the search for the optimal distribution of material within the spatial lattice structure; ensuring compliance of the designed structure with the current construction standards.
