“…While highly effective for steel gate design, the software may be less applicable to other structural forms. A web-based platform developed by Chen et al [17] was specifically engineered for the manufacturing phase of steel structures, addressing common issues such as production delays and quality inconsistencies. However, it is important to note that the platform did not extend its capabilities to the earlier stages of structural design and analysis, which were critical for the overall engineering process.…”

Traditional design methods for single-story steel structure factories are characterized by low levels of digitalization and high error rates. To deal with these problems, a building information modeling (BIM) platform for the design of single-story steel structure factories was developed in this paper, which aimed to improve the design process for such structures. Firstly, the components of the factory were categorized, and the Revit API was employed to automate the generation of the BIM model. Load applications and combinations were then established using the Revit API, which relied on a set of predefined parameters. Secondly, this paper proposed the creation of a dedicated database for data exchange between BIM software and finite element analysis software. Additionally, the SAP2000 Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) was employed for the automated construction and analysis of the SAP2000 structural model. Finally, the innovative use of Dynamo–Revit API hybrid programming allowed for the visualization of internal forces directly within the Revit environment, significantly diminishing the dependency on standalone FEA software. The application results obtained on a project demonstrated that the developed platform markedly improves the efficiency of design single-story steel structure factories and ensures the accuracy of the structural analysis. This confirms that the developed platform can transform the traditional design process by integrating advanced digital tools, thereby providing a novel approach to the design of single-story steel structure factories.

“…Complicated production procedures and massive document sorting work lead to the plant production information update lag. Under such conditions, it is still difficult to reduce the probability of safety accidents even if the supervisors carry out regular on-site testing 31 . Secondly, the layout of production work has strong limitations.…”

Due to the numerous cross-operations and poor information communication, it is easy to cause production safety accidents in traditional assembled steel plants. The transformation and upgrading of smart production in the assembly steel plants is helpful to improve the efficiency of safety management. In order to effectively reduce the safety risks in the production of assembled steel components, this paper integrates policy incentives and safety supervision, constructs an evolutionary game model between the government and assembled steel producers, and analyzes the strategic evolution rules and stability conditions of stakeholders through the replication dynamics equation. Moreover, based on the empirical simulation of the Fuzhou X Steel Structure Plant project, the effectiveness of the evolutionary model incentive strategy setting is verified. The results show that whether an assembled steel plants adopt a smart management strategy or not is influenced by the government's incentive subsidy mechanism, penalty mechanism, the benefits and costs generated by traditional/ smart management, the probability and loss of safety accidents and other factors. The conclusion is important for upgrading the safety management mode, improving the safety production efficiency and constructing the safety supervision system of the assembled steel smart plant.

“…7,8 From a comparative perspective, fabricated joints offer better quality assurance and convenient construction. 9,10 In previous studies, many researchers and companies have proposed different types of prefabricated joints, providing a good connection system solution for free form surface reticulated shell structures. Table 1 lists some representative types of prefabricated joints, which can be divided into the following categories based on the different forms of the joint center body: central spherical type (Table 1(a, b)), circular plate type (Table 1(c)), and central cylinder type (Table 1(d-l)).…”

One of the main challenges for free-form surface reticulated shell structure recently is the development of a new joint that is able to implement complex-shaped curvature and fulfill the required loading capacity, whilst also meeting various important requirements such as convenient on-site assembly and suitability for connecting members with various cross-sectional forms. This article draws inspiration from the construction idea of Chinese traditional mortise and tenon structure and proposes a new type of mortise and tenon hollow spherical joint. To investigate the joint’s mechanical performance, the detailed numerical models of 29 mortise and tenon hollow spherical joints with different size parameters are established by SolidWorks and Ansys, and the effects of the hollow spherical wall thickness, tooth width, tooth spacing, tooth height and tenon face width on the joint bearing performance are analyzed. The joint failure modes under bending limit states are discussed, and the calculation formulas for the initial and elastic-plastic stage rotational stiffness are derived. The results show that the joint initial rotational stiffness is increased by 34.45%, 4.69%, 4.29%, and 3.25%, respectively, after the parameter optimization analysis of the hollow spherical wall thickness, tooth width, tooth spacing and tenon face width. The mortise and tenon hollow spherical joint has good mechanical performance, and possesses the advantages of simple and beautiful appearance, fast construction speed and high positioning accuracy. Finally, a reduced-scale model of the mortise and tenon hollow spherical joint is manufactured using 3D printing technology to visually showcase its external feature and validate its assembly characteristic.
