Why are grid structures so widely used?

The grid structure is widely used, and can be seen in many high-speed railway station buildings, large workshops, commercial complexes, and sports stadiums. What are the advantages of the specific grid structure? Below is a detailed introduction for everyone.

The grid structure relies on the axial force of the members to transmit loads, and the material strength is fully utilized, which not only saves steel but also reduces self weight. A good grid design requires a steel content that is close to that of a reinforced concrete structure under the same conditions. This saves a large amount of concrete and can reduce self weight by 70-80%. Compared with ordinary steel structures, it can save steel by 20-50%. Due to the interaction between the members of the grid structure, it has good integrity, high spatial stiffness, and very stable structure.

The form of steel structure grid structure is unrestrained and stretched. It not only contains the rhythmic beauty of classical architecture, but also has the romanticism of modern plastic arts. Therefore, more and more architects are using its robustness and artistry to design and construct large roof frames. This novel and beautiful grid structure. New object shapes have been constructed for modern architecture.

The steel structure grid structure has been applied in many large venues today, and from an architectural perspective, it is a revolution in building structure and materials. From the perspective of the artistic perception of architectural objects, the diversity of the shape changes of the grid structure. Adding an artistic sense to the production and living space of the people. The spatial grid structure also has the advantages of light construction materials and convenient installation. At the same time, as building materials are subjected to combined forces, they also have a unique effect of good seismic performance.
