Comparison and Selection of Multiple Construction Schemes for the Large-Span and Heavy-Load Transfer Truss

The main building of Zone II of Zhanjiang Bay Laboratory R&D Building adopts a steel frame–core tube shear wall structure system, with a 53.4 m large-span and heavy-load-transfer truss on the fourth floor. In order to propose the optimal construction and installation scheme for the large-span and heavy-load-transfer truss, the simplified model, single model, and 3D model are utilized to compare Scheme 1 with rigid connection and Scheme 2 with elastic connection and rigid connection. After completing the construction of the underground layer and towers on both sides, in Scheme 1, the fourth-floor transfer truss is directly connected to the towers on both sides in a rigid manner. Subsequently, the support at the bottom of the transfer truss is removed, allowing for layer-by-layer construction. The transfer truss remains rigidly connected to both side towers throughout. On the other hand, in Scheme 2, initially, the transfer truss is connected to both side towers through upper chords and diagonal bars before being constructed upwards until reaching the sixth floor. Once formed as a whole with two floors above using large diagonal tie rods, lower chords of the large-span and heavy-load-transfer truss are then connected with another diagonal bar to establish a rigid connection between the transfer truss and towers; thereafter, upward construction continues. Following completion of constructing a seven-story large diagonal tie rod, whereupon removal of support at the bottom of the conversion truss occurs, subsequent layer-by-layer construction takes place accordingly. It has been observed that employing Scheme 2 can enhance stress distribution within core barrel shear walls as well as transfer trusses while ensuring deflection and stress levels meet requirements for the large-span and heavy-load-transfer truss, thereby rendering structural stress more rationalized, leading to significantly improved overall safety.
