2. Structural Design
2.1 Main Structural System
The factory adopts a portal steel frame structure, which is light in weight, high in structural strength, good in seismic and wind resistance, and suitable for industrial factory buildings with large spans and light loads. The portal frame is composed of steel columns, steel beams, and purlins, which can effectively bear the roof load, wind load, seismic force and the load of the 5-ton crane.
2.2 Structural Design Highlights
Wind Resistance Design: Combined with the wind load of 270kph, the section size of steel columns and beams is optimized, and the connection nodes are strengthened to ensure that the structure can resist strong wind impact without deformation or damage.
Seismic Design: According to the 8-degree seismic grade, the structural layout is reasonable, the lateral stiffness of the frame is enhanced, and the ductility of the structure is improved to reduce the damage caused by earthquakes.
Crane Load Bearing: The steel beams and columns related to the crane are specially designed to bear the dead weight and working load of the 5-ton crane (height 5m, European standard), ensuring the safe operation of the crane.
Roof Structure: The roof adopts 0.45mm color steel single sheet, laid on the purlins, with simple structure and good waterproof performance; no wall panels, doors, windows and drainage system are set, which is consistent with the project requirements.
