Application of Cast Steel Joint in Steel Structure Project of Big-Span Space

Cast steel node is a new type of structure joint developed with the application of large-span steel space structure. The stress distribution is discussed of cast steel nodes under three-dimension load by the use of FEM, in the space grid structure of maintenance hall. By the measurement, the stress on the surface of the cast steel node under design load is obtained. Combined with the test on-the-spot and computation, the result proves FEM result.
