For those who are new to the barrel vault space structure, it is not clear what the specific function of the barrel vault space structure is. Barrel Vault Space Structures – A popular industrial space framing application.
一. Spatial structure
A spatial structure is a three-dimensional assembled structural system with linear elements in which forces are transmitted in three dimensions. The use and popularity of space frame construction is due to its ability to resist heavy loads and redistribute large concentrated and asymmetric loads. The space structure has higher reliability and stability. They are known for their aesthetics, light weight, ease of manufacture, reassembly and higher reusability. Spatial structures are widely used, such as community halls, industrial buildings, bridges, railway platforms, stadiums, barrel vault structures, dome structures, etc.
二． the barrel vault space frame structure
Barrel vaults are a popular way to span large open areas with little support in the middle. These structures are often developed as economic solutions for the construction of industrial buildings.
The barrel vault spatial structure has been constructed in many different configurations involving different arrangements. The barrel vault spatial structure allows the structural design to incorporate arch theory. The use of steel provides great axial and flexural strength, so that the roof, entrance canopies and curved glass walls can achieve long spans and low level barrel vaults.
Three, the main advantages of the barrel vault space frame structure
1. Quick installation
The design/manufacture/installation of the barrel vault spatial structure can be accomplished in a very short time due to the use of prefabricated elements.
2. Cost effectiveness
One of the biggest advantages of using a spatial frame in a barrel vault is that it is relatively cost effective.
3. Installation accuracy
Another essential feature of using a space frame is the high degree of accuracy in the design and installation of the space frame.
4. Flexible design structure
It is one of the most flexible and robust structures used to construct commercial buildings and residential properties.
5. Environmental protection
These space frame structures are 100% recyclable. Therefore, it is known for its environmental protection.
6. Light weight
One of the most important advantages of barrel vault space frame construction is its low weight, which is due to the spatially uniform distribution of material loads.
7. Diverse structures
The space frame is versatile in shape and form, and can utilize standard modules to generate a variety of flat space meshes, lattice shells, and even free-form shapes.
