Advantages and Applications of Steel Structure Pipe Truss

 

 

●Compared with the grid structure, the tube truss structure omits the lower chord longitudinal members and the ball joints of the grid and can meet the requirements of various building forms. It is more convenient than the grid structure to construct round arches and arbitrary curves.

●Its stability is the same in all directions, saving material usage. The steel tube truss structure is developed based on the grid structure. Compared with the grid structure, it has unique advantages and practicability, and the steel used is also more economical.

●Compared with H-shaped steel and I-shaped steel trusses, the cross-section materials of the pipe truss structure are more evenly distributed around the neutral axis. Hence, the section has good compression and bending torsional load-bearing capacity and greater stiffness.

●The tube truss structure has good overall performance, high torsional stiffness, and a beautiful appearance. Making, installing, turning, and lifting are relatively straightforward.

●The steel tube roof truss is made of cold-formed, thin-walled steel and has a light structure, good stiffness, and steel-saving characteristics. It can fully exploit Material strength and other advantages, especially in the pressure rod and support system controlled by the slenderness ratio. It is more economical.

●The buildings currently using this structure are public buildings. The structure has a beautiful appearance (it can be built into a flat plate shape, round arch shape, or arbitrary curve shape), easy production and installation, good structural stability, high roof stiffness, and sound economic effect.

 

 

●A truss is a lattice structure composed of rods connected at the ends. A tube truss refers to a structure where the rods are all round tube rods.

●In most cases, the rods in the truss are only subject to axial tension or pressure, and the stress is evenly distributed throughout the cross-section, so the material can easily play a role.

●These characteristics make the truss structure economical in materials and low in weight. It is easy to form various shapes to adapt to different uses. For example, it can be made into supported trusses, arches, frames, and towers.

Therefore, truss structures are today used in many large-scale venues, such as convention and exhibition centers, stadiums, and public buildings.
