As an important component of large-scale building structures, the accuracy and stability of the installation process of steel truss are directly related to the safety and stability of the entire building. During the installation process, how to effectively avoid deformation of rods and loosening of nodes is the key to ensuring the quality of steel truss. The following will discuss in detail the coping strategies for this problem from multiple aspects such as material selection, construction technology, on-site monitoring and post-maintenance.First of all, strict control should be exercised in material selection. The rods and nodes of steel truss are usually made of high-strength, low-alloy steel, which must have good mechanical properties and weldability. When purchasing, the steel should be inspected for quality to ensure that its chemical composition, mechanical properties and other indicators meet the design requirements. In addition, for rods and nodes that need to be welded, special attention should be paid to their welding performance to avoid defects such as cracks and slag inclusions during welding.In terms of construction technology, a reasonable installation sequence and precise welding technology are the key to avoiding deformation of rods and loosening of nodes. Before installation, the various parts of the steel truss should be numbered and pre-assembled to ensure accuracy and efficiency during installation. During the installation process, the principle of installing the main force-bearing rods first and then the secondary rods should be followed to reduce stress concentration during installation. At the same time, reasonable welding sequence and welding parameters should be adopted during welding, such as segmented back welding and skip welding, to reduce welding deformation. For large steel trusses, process measures such as preheating and interlayer temperature control can also be used to further reduce welding stress and deformation.On-site monitoring is also an important part of ensuring the quality of steel truss installation. During the installation process, special monitoring points should be set up to monitor the deformation and stress of steel truss in real time. Once an abnormal situation is found, the installation should be stopped immediately, the cause should be found out and corresponding measures should be taken to correct it. In addition, technical training and safety education for installation workers should be strengthened to improve their operating skills and safety awareness to ensure the smooth progress of the installation process.Later maintenance should not be ignored either. During use, steel trusses may be affected by external loads such as wind loads and snow loads, as well as environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, causing deformation and loosening. Therefore, steel trusses should be inspected and maintained regularly to promptly detect and deal with potential safety hazards. For deformed rods and loose nodes, corresponding reinforcement and repair measures should be taken to ensure the stability and safety of steel trusses.In summary, avoiding deformation of rods and loose nodes during the installation of steel trusses requires multiple aspects such as material selection, construction technology, on-site monitoring, and post-maintenance. Only by fully considering these factors can the installation quality of steel trusses be ensured and a strong guarantee for the safety and stability of buildings can be provided.
