“…However, a significant concentrated load induced by the overhead crane can generate mass asymmetry that could alter the dynamic response, as has been studied in some works [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. The presence of overhead cranes within steel warehouse facilities often affects the complexity of their operations [ 35 ] since they involve moving loads that, in some cases, can be decisive in the structural design stage [ 36 , 37 ].…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the nonlinear behavior of a steel warehouse structured by moment-resistant frames, which utilizes an overhead crane on its interior brackets and as an external load of the weight of the lining panels. The analysis methods used are (i) pushover analysis, which consists of applying an incremental force in the transverse and longitudinal direction to obtain the capacity curve of the structure; (ii) time-history analysis, in which different records of destructive earthquakes that occurred in Chile are used in order to analyze the response of the structure to these loads. The results indicate that the transverse direction is more ductile than the Y direction of the structure within the pushover and time-history methods but not using the N2 method. It is also found that most of the columns are within the life safety and collapse prevention criteria. It is concluded that most of the analyses agree with each other and with what is expected, except for the N2 method, which contradicts the results of the time-history analysis, so the N2 method would not be suitable for this type of structure. In addition, it has been determined that the overhead crane loads do not substantially affect the seismic performance of the warehouse.

“…Relevant scholars have conducted research on lifting machinery, lifting technology, and lifting paths to address the challenges of large-span space steel structure lifts. For example, in the selection of lifting machinery, crane operation simulation can be used for automatic selection [2], or an artificial neural network can be used to establish a predictive analysis framework for crane configuration selection [3]. The lifting of steel structures usually adopts the integral lifting technology [4][5][6][7][8].…”

As sustainable structures like steel structures become more widely used, so do their construction issues. Improper lifting measures of long-span spatial steel structures may delay the construction period and even cause safety accidents. These problems have hindered the realization of sustainable buildings. Few studies on long-span spatial steel structures considered time-varying mechanical characteristics during the construction process. During the construction process, it will be found that the installed structure does not meet the required accuracy, and the installed content needs to be removed and re-constructed. This will cause idle work and rework, which will result in a waste of resources and is not conducive to sustainable development. Therefore, it is necessary to study the lifting construction process of long-span spatial steel structures and form a refined construction method. Based on the lifting construction process of the maintenance hangar roof of Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, this study proposes a time-varying mechanical analysis method for synchronous and asynchronous integral lifting of long-span space steel structures basing the Building Information Model (BIM). The force on the lifting point is analyzed during the hoisting construction process when the single-point asynchronous integral lifting and the interlaced point asynchronous integral lifting are carried out. The adverse effect of the displacement difference between lifting points during asynchronous integral lifting is proved. It provides a reference for the safe construction of long-span spatial steel structure lifting and also helps to improve the sustainability of construction projects.

“…To address the challenges of long-span spatial steel structures lifts, several studies have been conducted on lifting machine, lifting path to assist engineer in identifying an optimal lifting plan. For example, in the selection of lifting equipment, crane operation simulation can be used for automatic selection [4], or an artificial neural network can be used to establish a predictive analysis framework for crane configuration selection [5]. In terms of lifting technology, the integral lifting technology is usually adopted for the lifting of steel structures [6][7][8][9][10], combined with genetic algorithms to derive the optimal working condition combination [11,12], optimize the position of the lifting points based on the principle of minimum potential energy [13], and use computer control to lift and lower during construction [14].…”

Improper lifting measures of long-span spatial steel structures during construction process may delay the construction period and even cause safety accidents. Few studies on long-span spatial steel structures considered time-varying mechanical characteristic during construction process. In order to achieve safe and efficient installation in a long-span spatial steel structure, this research presents a time-varying mechanical analysis of the synchronous and asynchronous integral lifting and a single and interlaced point’s asynchronous integral lifting analysis method of a long-span spatial steel structure. The results showed that in the case of asynchronous lifting of single point, the displacement influence on other members is related to the distance. The closer the distance from the lifting point, the greater the influence. In asynchronous integral lifting, the lifting point with large lifting force is first installed to the specified position, and the lifting point with small lifting force is installed to the specified position.
