The skeletal framework of steel columns and beams forms the backbone of virtually every modern warehouse and workshop. While often considered a fixed element, the spacing between these primary structural members – known as bay spacing – is a critical design variable with profound implications for operational efficiency, material costs, and long-term flexibility. Optimizing this spacing is not merely an engineering exercise; it's a fundamental step in creating highly functional and cost-effective industrial spaces. The Critical Role of Bay Spacing:The distance between steel columns and beams di...

In the field of industrial buildings, steel structures are replacing traditional concrete structures at an annual growth rate of 12%. Its core advantage lies in its significant ability to control costs throughout the entire life cycle. 1. Direct cost savings brought by material mechanics advantagesThe yield strength of Q345B hot-rolled H-shaped steel reaches 345MPa, which is 6-8 times the bearing capacity of C30 concrete beams of the same volume. This means that in a standard factory building with a span of 15 meters, the cross-section of steel structure columns can be reduced to 1/3 of the co...
