Five factors to determine the height of the spherical grid

2025-05-23

The space structure grid industry is very extensive, and it goes without saying that more and more buildings are beginning to use spherical space structures. The following five points can be used to determine the height of the spherical grid:

  1. The point-supported grid needs to be much higher than the grid supported by the periphery;
  2. When the roof load is relatively large and the span of the grid is relatively large, the corresponding grid height also needs to be selected high;
  3. The height of the grid is related to factors such as roof load, span, plane shape, support conditions and equipment pipelines;
  4. When there are pipelines passing through the grid design, the height of the grid must meet its design requirements;
  5. When the plane shape is circular, square or close to a square, the height of the grid can be slightly shorter. If it is a narrow plane, then the height of the grid needs to be higher. The selection of the height of the spherical grid requires a scientific basis. How to control the height, the user’s needs can only be used as a reference, and the value designed by the grid can be used as the basis for execution. Only by strictly following the data can the grid project be safe.
