2. Production Process of main steel structure

2.1 Processing production segmentation

2.1.1 Processing segmentation principle

Considering whether and how to segment by combining raw material specifications, transportation restrictions, and final installation options.

No Segmentation principle(influence factors)
1 Equipment lifting ability of factory
2 Factory inspection equipment, inspection control points, inspection of concealed welds, etc. ;
3 Combine the welding process to ensure the down welding, flat welding and vertical welding positions of the components and nodes after being turned upside down and hoisted;
4 The practice of segmented interfaces (cutouts and bevels);
5 Plate parts setting of segmentation connection;
6 The splitting principle of on-site lifting and segmentation: the determination of vertical or horizontal assembly and the practice of segmented interfaces to avoid back welding.

2.1.2 Component segmentation

In general steel structure engineering, the steel columns not exceeding 15 meters do not need to be produced in segmentation. Steel beams are assembled, spliced and hoisted after being transported to construction site.

2.2 General manufacturing process measures of steel structures

2.2.1 Steel correction

No Steel Correction
1 For the steel to be processed, it should be checked before processing for any harmful deformation (such as partial winding, bending, etc.).
According to the actual situation, mechanical cold correction or heating correction (wire heating, point heating) is used. When using heating correction, it should be noted that the thermal correction heating temperature does not exceed 820 ° C. Water cooling is strictly prohibited during the correction.
2 Carbon structural steel should not be cold-corrected when the ambient temperature is lower than -16 ° C, and low alloy structural steel is lower than -12 ° C.
3 The surface of the corrected steel should not have obvious concave surface or damage, and the depth of the scratch should not be greater than 0.5mm, and should not be greater than 1/2 of the negative allowable deviation of the thickness of the steel.
4 The allowable deviation after the correction of steel shall comply with the provisions in the "Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality of Steel Structure Engineering".

2.2.2 Lofting

The measurement should be based on a qualified steel tape measure (100m), and the size of the corrigendum should be attached for verification with the supervision and installation company.
2 All components shall be manually scaled up by 1: 1 or simulated by computer in accordance with the detailed design drawings and manufacturing process requirements, and the geometric dimensions of all components shall be verified. If an error is found that needs to be changed, the design change notice issued by the original design company must be obtained, and it must not be modified without authorization. After passing the lofting inspection, the necessary angles, notches, production templates and tire frame templates must be made according to the process requirements.

7)Correction

Correction method Correction measures
Mechanical correction Generally, it should be performed by mechanical equipment at normal temperature. For example, the unevenness of the steel plate can be leveled by a seven-roller leveler.The angular deformation after welding of H-beam can be corrected by flange plate correction machine. However, the surface of the corrected steel should be free of severe dents and other damage.
Flame correction Flame correction is that the material is heated at a temperature of about 850 ° C (Q345 material). Do not use cold water to cool it. During hot processing, it is carried out in the red hot state (900-1000 ℃), and the processing should be finished before the temperature drops to 800 ℃, and the blue brittle zone (200-400 ℃) must be avoided. Be careful not to damage the base material during heat correction.

2 Processing During spraying operation: the spraying angle is 90 ° ± 45 °, and the spraying distance is 100-300. The traveling speed should not be too fast. Pay attention to the embroidery of the dead corners on the reverse side of the component.
The anti-slip friction coefficient must reach 0.45 (Q235), 0.50 (Q345) or more. The abrasives used must be labeled on the packaging bags to prevent the frictional surface of the abrasives from being mixed and processed. The plastic film should be wrapped on surface to prevent oil and damage.
3 Inspection After the friction surface treatment and before the construction of the high-strength bolted steel structure, the anti-slip coefficient of the surface of the steel structure should be re-inspected to ensure the construction quality of the high-strength bolts. Each 2000T is a batch.If the quantity is less than 2000T, then it will be one batch. There are three sets of friction pieces processed at the factory. As a self-inspection, there should be three sets of friction pieces when the component leaves the factory. As a re-inspection at the construction site, the minimum value of the anti-slip coefficient test should be greater than or equal to the design requirements. The test specimens for the anti-slip coefficient test shall be high-strength bolts of the same material grade, the same friction surface treatment method, the same batch manufacturing, the same transportation conditions, and the same store conditions and same performance level with the steel structure they represent.

Weld rods with high stress firstly and then rods with low stress;

Weld the tension rod firstly and then the compression rod;
