Gas stations generally use steel structure engineering. Steel structure gas stations are relatively small and simple steel structure engineering buildings.
Gas station projects are generally divided into new gas station projects and gas station renovation and expansion projects.
If it is a new gas station project, the oil tanks are not yet in place, so there is no risk of open flame. Generally, H-shaped steel structure, membrane structure or grid structure can be used according to needs. However, steel structures and membrane structures generally require a lot of on-site welding work, so most gas stations still use grid structures.
If it is a gas station renovation and expansion project, there are oil tanks, there is a risk of open fire, and the site is small, a grid structure with less welding is usually used.
Because the gas station building structure is simple, uses low quantity steel, is strong and durable, and the steel structure construction is quick and cheap, so the steel structure design is generally used. The load-bearing capacity of gas stations is relatively low, and the foundation structure is relatively simple. Since there are no thermal insulation requirements, the roof is generally made of single-layer color steel tiles, which is cheaper.
The most important thing in gas station design is of course safety. Reasonable load-bearing design can ensure the stability of the overall structure.
During the design process, gas station grids need to be fully stressed and structurally optimized to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the structure and comply with local structural regulations.
Factors affecting its load-bearing structure also include the choice of materials. The material selection and connection method of the gas station grid also directly affect its load-bearing capacity and stability. Generally, gas station grids use high-quality angle steel, channel steel, and steel pipes. And welding or bolting is required to ensure reliable connection. The strength and stability of the connection play an important role in the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the grid.
In addition, the gas station grid needs to be constructed in strict accordance with the design drawings during the construction process to ensure the accurate installation and connection of each component. During the construction process, attention should also be paid to monitoring and testing the quality of the grid structure, and possible problems should be discovered and corrected in a timely manner to ensure the load-bearing capacity and stability of the grid.
Then, the gas station grid needs to be inspected and maintained regularly during use. Regular inspections can identify potential problems and take timely measures to repair them. At the same time, attention should also be paid to controlling the load of the grid during use to avoid exceeding the load-bearing range of the grid. Regular maintenance can extend the service life of the grid and ensure that it can bear the weight of gas station equipment stably for a long time.
If the design and construction of steel structure gas stations follows the above rules, these measures can ensure that the grid has sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability, thereby ensuring the safe operation of gas station equipment.
