With the advancement of science and technology, truss structure has been applied more and more in several industries. This article takes power plant truss project as an example to discuss with you why truss is popular, which is divided into the following four aspects:
The structure of truss is special, due to its omission of longitudinal rods of lower chord and ball nodes of space frame, so it has greater flexibility to meet the requirements of various building forms, especially suitable for the circular arch structure of power plant, which is more stable and saves the amount of materials.
Truss is a structure made of cut and welded steel tubes, which itself has the characteristics of light weight and strong load-bearing capacity. In the power plant truss project, due to its “hollow web” structure, it has a larger span than solid web beams, so it can be used in large span buildings, adapting to the application scenario of power plant buildings.
Truss not only has superior performance, but also has incomparable advantages in terms of price. In the storage area of large-span power plant, truss structure has simple node form, concise and smooth appearance, saving more construction steps and low process cost; and because of its larger turning radius, the pipe wall is thinner and lighter, saving more materials; the surface of the steel pipe has less contact with the atmosphere, and the rods at the nodes are directly welded, so there are no dead corners and grooves difficult to be cleaned, so it is convenient to be cleaned and the cost of maintenance is low; and it is not easy to rust and have long service life internally. The internal rust is not easy, and the service life is long. To sum up, the cost performance of truss is very high and has price advantage.
The truss is large in size and far span, in order to be more convenient for transportation, the pipe fittings will be transported to the construction site and welded and installed at the site, which reduces the transportation difficulty and saves the transportation cost. When the power plant truss project is installed, the truss pipe fittings will be lifted into the air by crane truck and welded in the air.
The truss is firmly welded, professionally welded and verified through layers of screening, factory quality is guaranteed; it adopts precision galvanizing process, reliable quality and can be reused for a long time; it utilizes large-scale machines to position the holes accurately, with standardized processing, and the truss is flexible in use, and can be customized to different solutions and sizes according to different needs. Looking at it this way, it is indeed not unreasonable that truss structure is so popular.
