A Study on the Improvement for Steel Structure Assembling in Steel Structure Buildings

The characteristics of the steel structure are high strength, high toughness, good seismic resistance, less environmental pollution and quick construction, etc. The steel structure was developed very quickly in recent century, especially since the second half of 20th century. Following the large increase of the worldwide steel production, the steel techniques were continuously developed and progressed in recent years and the ideal of seismic resistance design were renewed. These have made the safety of steel structural buildings been continuously upgraded. The steel structure has been the mainstream of the architecture. Corresponsively, the steel structural engineering is different from the traditional reinforced concrete ones. Most of its working sites are high up in the air, which has the danger of falling and easily results in industrial safety incidents. In addition, the vertical precision of installing a steel column usually affects the follow-up related interface works, such as external curtain wall works and elevator works. It has strong connections with the aesthetic and occupation of the entire architecture.
In order to solve and to improve the long-term denounced problems at the steel structural construction site, this research is to analyze and to compare the collected documents and the papers issued in the related seminars.Such as Japan, which is close to Taiwan and is located at Circum-Pacific Seismic Zone as Taiwan is, located at the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate. Japan’s steel structural techniques are in the leading position. Japan has developed and improved the steel structural hanging method aiming at automation and rationalization. It could be the reference of learning for Taiwan’s steel structural industry.And study ‘ACEUP wireless method’
By analyzing and by assessing Japan’s present steel structural hanging system, it is regarded that the ‘ACEUP wireless method’ is suitable to be adopted. This method was also practically applied in a steel structural project in Taiwan. It is to compare the differences with domestic traditional hanging method and to analyze its Quality、Cost、Delivery、Safety (QCDS) benefits in order to reach the objectives of quality enhanced, cost reduced, construction period shortened and safety improved.Another study to apply to the legal rules and patent method of ‘ACEUP wireless method’.The analysis discovered when the ‘ACEUP wireless method’ is applied to a large construction area, skyscrapers or high-tech factories, its benefits would be much more obvious.
