Steel Truss Structures
Steel Truss Structures (Pipe & Section Steel Trusses) are triangulated framing systems composed of straight interconnected members joined at intersection points (nodes). By converting complex bending moments into primary axial tension and compression forces, trusses achieve extreme structural efficiency.Truss systems come in various configurations, including Pipe/Tubular Trusses (utilizing Circular Hollow Sections - CHS, or Rectangular Hollow Sections - RHS), Section Steel Trusses (using H-beams, angles, or channels), and 3D Space Trusses (Space Frames). They are the premier choice for airport terminals, sports stadiums, convention centers, high-speed railway hubs, and heavy-duty industrial roofs.
1. Pure Axial Force Efficiency & Maximum Span Capability Optimized Stress Distribution
Truss members experience primarily pure axial tension or compression, drastically reducing dead load while maximizing material utilization. Unrivaled Clear Spans: Capable of spanning over 100+ meters without intermediate supporting columns, making trusses the gold standard for long-span roof framing in grand public architecture.
2. Specialized Advantages of Pipe/Tubular Trusses (CHS & RHS) Omni-Directional Structural Efficiency
Circular Hollow Sections (CHS) offer identical geometric properties in all directions, yielding maximum resistance to multi-axis buckling and dynamic wind loads. Sleek Aesthetic & Easy Maintenance: Smooth, closed tubular profiles eliminate sharp corners where dirt, moisture, and dust accumulate, significantly simplifying paint application, fireproofing, and long-term corrosion maintenance. Reduced Wind Resistance: The smooth curved contour of round steel pipes minimizes the wind drag coefficient, making pipe trusses ideal for large open-air stadium canopies and exposed roof structures.
3. 3D Spatial Rigidity & Seismic Resiliency (Space Trusses) High Load Redundancy
Double-layer or multi-layer 3D space trusses distribute heavy localized loads evenly across hundreds of interconnected nodes. Exceptional Dynamic Performance: High overall spatial rigidity ensures outstanding resistance against dynamic seismic shockwaves, snow accumulation, and hurricane-force wind uplift.
4. Expressed Architectural Aesthetics & Daylight Integration Exposed Structural Beauty
Pipe trusses and intricate node joints are frequently left exposed as Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel (AESS), serving as a striking modern visual element inside terminals and arenas. Skylight & Glazing Integration: The open framework seamlessly accommodates large glass skylights and membrane roof systems (such as ETFE/PTFE), maximizing natural daylighting.
5. Open-Web Utility Integration & Prefabricated Erection Built-In MEP Clearance
The spacious triangular webbing provides unobstructed pathways for heavy HVAC ductwork, fire suppression networks, electrical trays, and lighting rigs. Modular Node Welding & Bolting: Pipe trusses can be precision-cut (using multi-axis CNC pipe profiling machines) and pre-assembled into transportable modules for rapid, high-precision site assembly and lifting.
