Installation of curved steel structure shed in the Philippines

Leveraging its extensive expertise in steel structures, Canglong Group successfully delivered a shed-type building solution for a client in the Philippines that combines exceptional structural strength, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetic appeal. This project utilizes an advanced and proven steel truss structural system tailored to the unique geographical and climatic conditions of the region, ensuring the building's safety, durability, and practicality throughout its lifecycle.

A key highlight of the project lies in the use of curved steel trusses as the main roof beams. This streamlined design not only gives the building a modern and elegant visual profile but also demonstrates significant structural advantages. The curved trusses efficiently convert roof loads into axial forces, enabling a column-free design with large spans and providing spacious and flexible interior spaces. Furthermore, the curved shape facilitates the rapid shedding of rainwater and debris, effectively adapting to the Philippines' rainy and typhoon-prone tropical maritime climate and enhancing the structure's wind resistance and drainage capabilities.

Supporting this magnificent roof are sturdy H-shaped steel columns. Known for their optimized cross-sectional distribution and superior bending and compressive resistance, H-shaped steel provides a stable and reliable vertical support system for this project. These columns serve as the building's skeleton, firmly anchored to the foundation and rigidly connected to the curved trusses above. Together, they form a strong framework capable of withstanding extreme loads such as strong winds and earthquakes, ensuring the absolute safety of the entire structure.

At the secondary structural level, the roof's galvanized C-shaped steel purlins are precisely positioned above the main trusses. C-shaped steel, with its lightweight and high strength, serves as the direct support for the roofing panels, maximizing material utilization. Particularly noteworthy is its galvanized surface treatment, which provides long-lasting corrosion protection against the risk of rusting in the Philippines' high temperature, high humidity, and high salinity environment. This significantly extends the building's service life and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Finally, the curved steel shed's roof is clad with color-coated steel sheets, a coating that offers excellent weather, corrosion, and UV resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, pristine appearance. Its lightweight design reduces the load on the main structure. Furthermore, the panels typically offer excellent sealing properties and high strength, effectively protecting against rain and leaks, while meeting the stringent local requirements for wind-resistant roofs.
