The construction of the bolted spherical net frame project is extremely sturdy; however, it can still suffer from certain levels of damage due to minor details. Since the bolted spherical net frame is the main structure of the engineering building and is crucial, immediate action must be taken upon any damage, and the issues must be addressed promptly.
What are the causes of damage to bolted netshell structures?
The key factors causing damage to bolted tensioned membrane structures include: changes in load, exceeding the service life, and insufficient structural load-bearing capacity due to changes in standards and technical specifications; components experiencing deformation, warping, disablement, and dents due to various accidents, which can easily lead to weakened cross-sections, warping of components, and cracked joints; deformation, cracking, and warping of components or joints caused by significant temperature differences; erosion due to corrosion of compounds and the galvanic action leading to weakened cross-sections of steel structural components; in addition, other factors include design errors, production flaws, construction site mistakes, and improper use and operation during the service period.
To prevent the potential damage mentioned, reinforcing the bolted spherical mesh structure is an effective solution. Conducting structural reinforcement at the locations where challenges arise in the bolted spherical mesh can enhance the load-bearing capacity at the damaged areas, thus preventing instability in the architectural structure.
