Steel Halls

Lattice Halls

The “hollow” halls are a modern solution used in industrial construction, characterized by the use of steel portal frames with a hollow structure. This design, based on uniquely constructed steel I-beams, brings a number of benefits both in technical and economic aspects. Construction of hollow halls The basic structural element of hollow halls is the steel portal frame, consisting of two columns and two beams, creating a double-sloped profile. Key features of this construction include: - Hollow, single-sided converging I-beams – made from both columns and beams. - Profiled through holes – symmetrically distributed along the entire length of the elements. - Variable stiffness of the structure – increasing from the base of the columns upwards, ensuring stability. - Practical function of perforation – reducing the mass of the structure and allowing for free installation of utilities inside. Hollow halls. Strength analyses and computer simulations Before hollow halls hit the market, their construction was thoroughly tested using computer simulations and static-strength calculations. The results of these studies showed that the hollow single-sided converging I-beams have a significant load reserve, reaching up to 30%. This allows the structure to carry greater loads than standard norms predict, enabling additional loading without the need for design changes. This is particularly important in the case of production halls, where there is often a need to install additional heavy equipment. Advantages of hollow halls Hollow halls offer a number of significant advantages: - Reduction in the amount of structural steel – allowing for lower construction costs and a decrease in the overall weight of the structure. - Reduced load on foundations – which can lead to further savings during the construction phase. - Increased span of girders – up to 30 meters, allowing for the design of large surface halls without additional supports. - Easier transport and assembly – due to the lighter weight of the structure, simplifying the construction process. Aesthetic aspect of hollow halls In addition to technical benefits, hollow halls also stand out for their aesthetic appearance. Thanks to the perforations, the structure appears lighter and more modern. The hollow elements can be showcased as a decorative architectural detail, which works excellently in modern industrial and commercial facilities. Applications of hollow halls Hollow halls are used in many industrial sectors, such as: - Heavy industry – valued for their durability and suitability for large loads. - Logistics – used as warehouses and sorting facilities. - Agriculture – modern barns, feed storage facilities, and halls for storing agricultural equipment.
