　　Are you curious about what needs attention in steel structure factory design? With China's economic and technological advancements, steel, which was once merely used as a load-bearing structure, has become one of today's popular building models. With the comprehensive range and continuous quality improvement of steel structures, people have increasingly higher requirements for factory construction. Compared to traditional building models, steel structure factories offer more prominent advantages, favored by many builders and owners. So, what issues should be considered in steel structure factory design? Let's take a look below.

　　[Advantages of Steel Structure Factories]

　　Steel structure factories are lightweight, have high strength, and large spans. The construction cycle of steel structure factories is short, with all components able to be processed in factories, enabling industrialized production and saving investment costs. Steel structure factories have excellent seismic performance, capable of withstanding earthquakes up to magnitude 8. Steel structure factories are environmentally friendly, with simple, convenient, and fast construction and dismantling, reducing the use of sand, stone, and ash, aligning with green and eco-friendly principles.

　　[Issues to Address in Steel Structure Factory Design]

　　The primary issue to address in steel structure factory design is load-bearing capacity. Steel structure factories must withstand construction loads, rainwater, dust, snow loads, and maintenance loads. The load-bearing capacity of metal roof panels relates to the section properties of the panel type, material strength and thickness, force transmission method, and spacing between purlins (secondary purlins). Therefore, attention must be paid to load-bearing capacity in steel structure factory design.

　　[Waterproofing of Steel Structure Factories]

　　Steel structure factories typically have large building areas, making daylighting a significant issue, especially in industrial factories where lighting is crucial. Skylights can improve indoor lighting during the day, saving energy. When arranging lighting panels or glazing in specific locations of the metal roof, consider the service life coordination with the metal roof panels and ensure waterproofing at the connection between the skylight and metal roof panels.

　　[Fire Protection Design for Steel Structure Factories]

　　Fire protection design must be considered in steel structure factory design. Fire is a major hazard in the use of steel structure factories. When the components of steel structure factories exceed a certain temperature, their strength and yield point will decrease, potentially leading to collapse accidents. Therefore, steel structure factories need to be sprayed with fire-resistant materials to enhance the fire resistance of components in case of a fire.

　　[Soundproofing of Steel Structure Factories]

　　Most steel structure factories are used as production workshops. Noise is inevitable during production and construction. Steel structure factories prevent sound from transmitting from outdoors to indoors or vice versa. Soundproofing materials (usually insulation cotton) are filled within the metal roof layer, with soundproofing effectiveness indicated by the sound intensity difference in decibels on both sides of the metal roof layer. Soundproofing effectiveness relates to the density and thickness of the soundproofing materials. Note: Soundproofing materials have varying blocking effects on sounds of different frequencies.
