NEW SYSTEM OF CONSTRUCTIVE COMPENSATION OF DEVIATIONS IN LARGE-SPAN ARTICULATED ROD METAL ROOF SHELLS
The article reviews and analyzes previously performed studies on accounting for deviations in the design of metal structures. Existing inventions concerning the design of metal articulated rod large-span roofs are considered, they allow compensating deviations during the installation of metal structures. The developed roof shell design is obtained by offering new butt joints of the same and different sizes, as well as the installation method. The proposed solutions are protected by Ukrainian utility model patents. The new design of the single layer articulated rod roof shell allows, prior to the installation of the locking rods, at any assembly, making their parts to be screwed together with an adjusting clutch, and then adjust the position of the rod parts by rotating the clutch relative to its longitudinal axis in order to fully ensure the exact joining of the rods in the roof. The proposed solutions can be used in the design of single-layer articulated rod roofs, as well as two-layer ones of any shape in the plan view.
