Steel truss installation construction method

2025-07-02

Steel truss is an important material commonly used in building structures. It has the advantages of high strength, light weight, and strong rigidity, so it has been widely used in modern buildings. The installation and construction of steel trusses is a key step to ensure the safety and stability of building structures. This article will introduce the construction method of steel truss installation and several important precautions.

  1. Pre-construction preparation work

Before installing the steel truss, detailed preparation work must be carried out. First, the construction site needs to be carefully surveyed and measured to ensure the accuracy of the construction drawings. Secondly, the required construction materials and equipment, including lifting machinery, scaffolding, welding equipment, etc., need to be prepared. At the same time, a detailed construction plan and safety plan must be formulated to ensure that the construction process is safe and controllable.

  1. Fabrication and pre-installation of steel trusses

In the specific construction process, steel truss components are usually prefabricated in the factory to reduce the welding and processing workload on site. The prefabricated steel truss components need to be inspected and quality inspected to confirm that they meet the design requirements. Before the actual installation, pre-installation is required, that is, temporary assembly of various components to confirm the accuracy of their size, position and installation method.

  1. Lifting and positioning of steel trusses

The installation of steel trusses first requires lifting and hoisting. According to the pre-made construction plan, use appropriate lifting machinery to lift the steel trusses to the predetermined position. During the lifting process, the operators must cooperate closely to ensure the smooth and safe lifting. Subsequently, the hoisted steel trusses need to be positioned. Positioning mainly includes accurate horizontal and vertical adjustments to ensure the overall stability and accuracy of the structure.

  1. Connection and fixation of steel trusses

The core steps of steel truss installation are connection and fixation. The connection is mainly carried out by welding, bolt connection or combined connection. Different connection methods are suitable for different specific situations and need to be selected according to design requirements and actual conditions. Attention should be paid to welding quality during welding to ensure the strength and reliability of the weld. When bolting, choose the appropriate bolt specifications and tightening torque to ensure the firmness of the connection. At the same time, auxiliary support and temporary fixation are also required to ensure the stability of the structure during construction.

  1. Safety monitoring and quality acceptance

During the entire construction process of steel truss installation, safety monitoring and quality acceptance are crucial links. Appropriate safety warning signs and protective facilities should be set up at the construction site, and operators must wear safety equipment that meets the requirements and strictly abide by relevant operating procedures. When conducting quality acceptance of the installed steel trusses, inspections and tests are required, including the dimensional deviation of the components, the quality of the welds, the strength of the connections, etc. Ensure that the installation quality of the steel trusses meets the requirements of relevant standards and specifications.

Steel truss installation and construction is a technically complex task that requires rigorous planning and operation. This article introduces the basic methods of steel truss installation, including pre-construction preparation, steel truss production and pre-installation, hoisting and positioning, connection and fixing, as well as safety monitoring and quality acceptance. In actual construction, the appropriate installation method and technical parameters should be selected according to the specific project requirements and site conditions. In all construction processes, safety is always the primary consideration, and quality acceptance is also a key link in ensuring the quality of the project. Only under the guarantee of safety and quality can the installation and construction of steel trusses proceed smoothly and provide reliable support for the stability and firmness of the building structure.
