The construction difficulties of this project lie in the large span of roof truss and the difficulty of hoisting; the installation quantity of horizontal support and vertical support is large, and there are many unsafe factors in high-altitude operation and cross operation; in addition, the construction site is narrow, and the on-site production and assembly site are not easy to meet.

Main construction methods

1、 Roof system fabrication

Roof system manufacturing → component transportation → roof truss installation → purlin installation → upper chord horizontal support installation → vertical support installation → lower chord horizontal support installation → roof panel installation.

Roof system includes roof truss, support, purlin, etc. its manufacturing method is represented by roof truss production, and roof truss includes support and other components. Therefore, this paper only describes the fabrication method of roof truss, and references the fabrication of other components.Due to the narrow site, the roof truss is planned to be fabricated outside the site. Each roof truss is fabricated in two sections. Before installation, the roof truss is assembled on site. The assembly method is ridge node assembly. After the assembly is completed, the hoisting and installation work can be carried out after passing the inspection.

Steel structure installation works

Hoisting of structural members includes hoisting of steel roof truss and support.For the installation of steel structure in this project, firstly, the axis of concrete column, the elevation of column top surface and the plane position and elevation of embedded M30 bolt shall be rechecked, and the intermediate handover work shall be completed with civil engineering specialty; secondly, the fabrication of steel members shall be assessed as qualified with complete data.

1 Steel roof truss hoisting

The weight of the single roof truss is about 7.2t, and the weight of the skylight is about 2.3t. According to the hoisting capacity of the crane and the safety of construction, the skylight truss and the roof truss are separately hoisted, and the skylight frame is hoisted after the roof truss and purlin are installed.

The hoisting sequence of steel roof truss is as follows: assembly → lifting → positioning → temporary fixation → correction → final fixation.

The steel roof truss shall be assembled before hoisting. The assembly shall be carried out according to different models. After the assembly of the same roof truss, the whole surface shall be on the same plane, and the center of the lower chord shall be on the same line. The welding between the assembly connecting plate and the bottom chord section steel shall be correct and reliable.

After the steel roof truss is assembled, a φ 48 steel pipe iron pole shall be tied horizontally at the middle line of the triangular steel roof truss to ensure that the components will not deform and fracture during lifting, which will cause accidents.Because the span of the roof truss is more than 18m, it is difficult to lift at two points, so it is considered to use an iron pole to lift the roof truss.The position of roof truss lifting point is within the range of 300 mm around the top chord node.

Qy80 truck crane is selected as crane, and the parameters of crane truck are shown in Table 7.The traveling path of the crane is located at the center line of the roof truss, which is 8m away from the center line of the roof truss.After the crane selects the lifting point, find the binding point of the steel wire rope on the component, and the crane starts to turn over and lift.In the process of lifting, it should be slow, stable and slowly rise to ensure that the components can rise and fall and rotate smoothly in the air.The cable wind rope is tied at both ends of the component to control the rotation of the component.When the component is lifted to a height of about 100 mm higher than the installation position, it shall be lowered slowly. At the same time, the plane position and perpendicularity of the component shall be preliminarily corrected by visual inspection or plumb hammer. After confirmation, it can be temporarily fixed and the hook can be removed.Temporary fixing shall ensure the safety of components and facilitate correction, including plane position, elevation, perpendicularity, etc.When the calibration is accurate and meets the requirements, the final fixation can be carried out according to the connection method required by the construction drawing.When the second truss is fixed, it can be connected with the first one by purlins.

2 Support system and purlin installation

After the roof truss and skylight are finally fixed, the purlin is installed first, the roof truss is fixed, and the roof truss and column are finally connected.After the purlin is fixed, the upper chord horizontal support and the rigid and flexible pull rod are installed, then the vertical support is installed, and finally the lower chord horizontal support is installed.The fabrication of support is carried out according to the unit. The support with small weight is lifted in place by artificial cable and the heavy one is hoisted in place by crane or chain block.In the process of installation, attention should be paid to whether there is cross-section between various supports and purlins. In case of such situation, the designer shall be contacted in time, and shall not be handled at will.

3 Roof and wall works

The roof of the workshop is yx35-125-750 color steel plate, which is profiled steel plate with a thickness of 0.3mm.During installation, attention should be paid to the reliable connection between the tile and the roof truss purlin. The installation should be carried out from bottom to top. The length of the tile under the upper cover should not be less than 300 mm. The joint between the tiles should follow the dominant wind direction and lap a wave width.

The wallboard is yx35-125-750 color steel plate with a thickness of 0.3mm.The installation shall be carried out from one end according to the purlin position. The plates must be clamped tightly and fixed with screws. Waterproof treatment shall be done at the joints of wall panels.During the installation of profiled steel sheet, its position should be adjusted while laying and fixed at the same time.See Table 8 for allowable manufacturing deviation of metal profiled plate.

4 Steel surface after rust removal in decoration and painting works

The next process can only be carried out after cleaning with brush and other tools. If rust has returned to the steel surface after rust removal, it is necessary to remove rust again.

After the rust removal of the steel is qualified, the first primer shall be applied on the surface. Generally, after rust removal, the steel shall be stored in the workshop, and the primer can be applied within 24 hours.If it is stored outside the workshop, the primer shall be finished on duty.The paint shall be used in accordance with the design requirements. After the first primer is dried, the intermediate paint and top coat shall be applied to ensure that the coating thickness meets the design requirements.The paint shall be uniform and free from falling.
