Modification of installation technology for prefabricated space frame units
Abstract
Modification of installation technology for prefabricated space frame units
Incoming article date: 23.05.2020The paper explores the opportunity to use tower cranes with a large boom length for installation of space frames configured as prefabricated units. The opportunity to modify the already existing technology by using new tower cranes with a large boom length allows cutting the cost of construction of industrial buildings with flat structural plates. Cost cuts are realized by reducing the scope of works pertaining to installation and dismantling of crane runway as well as crane relocation toward other spans of the building.
