When designing and selecting steel trusses, it is necessary to take into account the use requirements, use characteristics, span and load size, as well as supply of materials, construction conditions and other factors, and carry out a comprehensive technical and economic analysis.
Steel Trusses Fabrication
The connection methods of steel truss include welding, ordinary bolt connection, high-strength bolt connection or riveting. The most widely used in steel truss should be welding; while ordinary bolt connection is often used in detachable structures such as transmission towers and support systems; high-strength bolt connection is often used in connection of heavy steel truss; riveting is used in heavy steel truss subjected to large dynamic load, and has gradually been replaced by high-strength bolt connection. When engineering is applied, the connection method should be determined according to the engineering characteristics and construction conditions.
In view of the stress characteristics and advantages of steel trusses, steel trusses are widely used in some public buildings, industrial production auxiliary buildings, cargo transportation trestles in port projects, etc.
