TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR SYSTEM & COMPONENTS
The prefabricated space frame systems are composed of bars and joining
point elements, designed to be fully produced in the factory and then erected
at site.
1. PRELIMINARY STUDY
The space frame elements are analysed according to the Matrix-
Displacement Method. In the course of this analysis, all the external loads
applied to the carrying system are execised to the nodes only. The bars are
calculated to respond to axial tension or pressure. As long as the contrary is
not clearly stated or requested by the client, any loads which might create a
momentum or are perpendicular to the bar, are not allowed to be suspended
from the bar. Should there exist such a load, then it should be mentioned in
writing at the beginning and should be incorporated in the contract.
The static calculations are made based on the loads available among the loads
listed below and on the special loads declared by the client and specified in
the contract. Apart from these, there are some loads which are basic and are
used in all technical specifications. Consequently, the loads can be classified
as :
1.1. Basic loads which have to be always in the technical specifications :

1.1.a. Individual load of the space frame,
1.1.b Individual load of purlins,
1.1.c. Individual load of the cladding ( cladding type must be specified in
writing by the Principal)
1.1.d. Regional load ( snow load, changing according to the region)
1.1.e. Wind load ( changing according to the building height ),
1.1.f. Heat impact ( temperature differences ),
1.1.g. Earthquake factor.
1.2. Functional loads which are determined according to the function of the
system and which have to be stated by the Principal :
1.2.a. Live load

1.2.b. Service load
1.2.b.1. Lighting
1.2.b.2. Installations, A/C ducts, cable ducts
1.2.b.3. Suspended ceiling,
1.2.b.4. Catwalks,
1.2.b.5. Special loads with spot impact ( such as basketball
backboard, etc)
Statical calculations are made according to Turkish Standards or International

Standards. The calculations related to purlins and determination of sections
are made according to Turkish Standards or International Standards. These
calculations are stated in statical calculations.
The calculations are submitted to the principal for approval in a report which
also includes statical drawings.
The report consists of a plan of system, loading criteria, combinations of
loads, tension and compression stresses for pipes, sections of pipes and
bearing capasities, displacements, support reactions, purlin calculations,
support calculations and anchorage calculations.
The erection plan, support desing, drawings of anchorage plan and details,
purlin system plan and details are also submitted with this report. In drawings
type of members, dimensions and section properties are shown by tables.

4.1.3. Realistic assessment of loadings at all stages of construction.
4.1.4. The provision of safe access and working places.
4.1.5. Safe handling, lifting, storing, stacking and transportation of
components, depending on their size, shape and/or weight.
SYSTEM
It is recommended that identifiable lifting points and component weight are

detailed at this stage. For sub assemblies, it is critical that overall weight and
lifting points are identical on drawings.
Design specifications should incorporate particular requirement and essential

information for the scheme to be planned and erected safely, such
information should include any special or onerous conditions as well as the
phasing of the work, particularly with that of the other affected Contractors.
Special requirements relating to the safe erection of the structure should be
high lightened at the pre contract stage.
4.2. Site Conditions

4.2.1. Ground Conditions
An important aid to safe erection is the provision of hard standing ground,
suitable for mobile access equipment and cranes, prior to the
commencement of erection. This is particularly helpful when fixing the
scaffolding. Good vehicular access on to the hard standing ground should also
be provided. Ground loadings and vehicle turning circles must be taken into
account. Consideration must also be given to the access to erection areas,
with regard to adverse ground condition likely to contaminate the erector’s
foot wear and increase the risk when aloft.
4.2.2. Site Hazards and Limitation
Hazardous site features and other aspects likely to impair safe erection should
be identified at each stage of the scheme development. Hazards and features
which should be taken into account include.
SYSTEM
4.2.2.1. Overhead electric power lines

4.2.2.2. Buried services, including underground electric service,
gas or other pipe lines.
4.2.2.3. Restricted access to, and on, the site due to road
alignment which may limit the size and weight of structural
members and plant, including cranes.
4.2.2.4. Restricted space for erection, maneuvering, storage and if
required, for on site pre assembly manufacturing fabrication.
4.2.2.5.The proximity of the general public to the site.
4.2.2.6. The activities of other Contractors, the area of the site
affected by erection operations should be designated as a restricted
area; barriers and notices should prohibit entry to non erection
personnel. The reason for this prohibition should be communicated
to all persons.
4.3. Method Statement

The preparation of a written method statement setting out the proposed
erection scheme is an important part of planning for a safe system of work.
The extent of detail in a method statement will depend upon the size and or
complexity of the work. Before works commence on site, outline proposals
produced at tender stages should be developed into a method statement
which should include a detailed erection scheme.
The whole method statement should be reviewed and updated as necessary

so that it remains current. Although the format of method statement may
vary, they should:
SYSTEM
4.3.1. From a single document and preferably include annotated diagrams.

4.3.2. Be capable of being modified to cater for any plan change in a system
of work.
4.3.3. Be indexed for ease of reference.
4.3.4. Follow a logical sequence, have each stage of sequence clearly titled,
and be concise and unambiguous.
4.3.5. Be clearly marked with a date of preparation and revision number or
letter, where applicable, so that the issue being used at any instant can be
readily identified.
Many tasks are repetitive and may be covered by standard sheets. Activities
which are critical to safe erection, however, should be specified in full on each
document. Erection must be monitored to ensure that the planned sequence
of operations is not deviated from in any way.
4.4. Cranes and Material Handling

Safety during lifting and handling requires careful considerations of all aspects
of the methods and systems to be used.
Factors specially relating to the use of cranes, which should be coordinated
include:
4.4.1. Organizing the appropriate number and type of cranes, bearing in
mind that the choice could be limited if cranes are to be hired locally.
4.4.2 Confirming that the designated sitting positions for cranes can be
achieved.
SYSTEM
4.4.3. Checking for the presence of hazards or developments which may

have altered the site since the original plans were made
4.4.4. Appointing a competent person to supervise the complete lifting
operations, particularly when tandem lifts are used.
Suitable facilities, ladders, etc., must be available to ensure a safe place for
persons unloading vehicles.
All fabricated units should have a distinctive mark, identical to the erection
drawings, to ensure that structures are correctly assembled.
Care should be taken when manually handling components. Erectors should

be trained in the principles of kinetic handling.
4.5. Material Storage

Areas should be allocated for stacking and storing components and should be
clearly marked on the site plans.
These areas should be:

4.5.1. Clear of obstructions, reasonably level, and of adequate size.
4.5.2. On ground which is capable of withstanding loads imposed by the
stores materials and plant used in the area,
4.5.3. Sited away from hazards such as overhead power lines,
4.5.4. Arranged so that clear access and lines of sight are provided and
maintained between stacks of components, and If on site manufacture,
SYSTEM
fabrication, modification, or repair work is to be undertaken, additional are-

as may be needed with facilities similar to those of storage areas. In addition,
contingency plans should able made to provide an area for a buffer store, in
case it becomes necessary to more material that was originally planned.
4.6. Material Stacking

Materials should be stacked in such a manner as will permit their de stacking
safely. Matters which should be taken into account when stacking or de
stacking components include:
4.6.1. Methods of stocking which ensure that no risk of collapse or sliding is

induced.
4.6.2. Safe access for slinging purposes.
To aid erection, components should be stacked on suitable timber battens
and packing pieces so that:
4.6.3. They are not brought into contact with the ground, there by
preventing much deposits which could present a slipping hazards,
4.6.4. Damage to projection, such as nibs and brackets, is minimized and
4.6.5. Slings can be positioned easily around components.
4.7. Stability of Structures

A scheme should be formulated which ensures of the frame work and its
components during erection and until completion.
SYSTEM
The requirement for stability at all stages of erection should be clearly

understood by all persons dealing with the erection work. The basic principle
is to commence by erecting a bay of the structure and securing its stability.
In the process if erection, particular care should be taken to verify stability in
the following circumstances.
4.7.1. At times of temporary cessation of work

4.7.2. At times when space frame components may be incomplete, for
example, in course of lining up and adjustment of level.
4.7.3. At times of high winds or when high winds are expected.

4.7.4. When the stage of completion of permanent work on which the
stability depends, is adequate, or when the permanent work has not
developed adequate strength.
4.7.5. The construction or anchor points should be such that they are able
to resist any force likely to be imposed upon them.
4.7.6. The movement of an anchor should be reported immediately and
prompt remedial action taken.
4.7.7. Steel type anchors should be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
4.7.8. The base of any mast or pole used for erection should be provided
with a good bearing to ensure distribution of the load to the ground without
settlement.
4.7.9. Resistance to side ways movement of the base should be determined
by design and provided during erection.
SYSTEM
4.8. Access Along Beams

If it is necessary for persons to gain regular access along beams from which
they can fall more than 2 meter, e.g. the top of a concrete beam, or the top or
lower chord of a space frame, the walkway must be at least 430mm wide, or
600mm wide if used for the passage or materials.
Guards rails and toe boards must be provided and these should, where
possible, be fitted before erection. Where the above requirements are not
met, access of short duration only may be per- mitted by the following means.
4.9. Walking the Top Surface

Walking the top surface of a space frame should only be allowed if there is a
continuous running line or anchorage to provide a suitable fixing for a safety
harness.
4.10. Beam Straddling

Beam “straddling” is acceptable provided the size of the beam is suitable and
supervisors are satisfied that the method is safe. In such cases, the following
conditions must be met:
4.10.1. Persons must be able to place each foot firmly on the bottom chord
and have both hands gripping each side of the top chords as they move along.
4.10.2. Upper and lower space frame surfaces must be free of obstructions
so as to allow the above movement.
4.10.3. Where a beam is straddled at a working position, some means of

preventing a fall is required.
SYSTEM
4.11. Safety Nets, Belts and Harnesses

Occasions will arise where recourse must be made to the use of safety nets,
and safety harness. Where the use of safety net is impracticable, safety
harness must be used, but it must be stressed that the use of personal
protection in the form of belts or harnesses must be considered as a last
resort.
The provision of a fixing to which the safety harness is attached is or prime
importance. Where the fixings is to provide for the movement along a beam,
it should be such that the harness or belt does not have to be released to
allow such a movement. This can be achieved, for example, by the use of a
taut steel wire ripe or run along the beam. It should be stressed that any
anchorage must be capable of withstanding the likely impact loads, where
movement along a beam is necessary, then the fixing for a safety harness may
be achieved by the provision of additional holes at specific points on the steel
and the use of a proprietary devise such as a girder grip.
Alternatively, the lanyard of the safety harness or belt may be wrapped
around a structural member and clipped on to itself, care must be taken that
it would not be damaged by sharp edge in the event of a fall. Such damage
may be prevented by providing a shealth around the lanyard, if structural
members are too large for the lanyard member to provide a fixing for the
harness.
4.12. Permanent Access

All permanent access walkways, ladders and steps should be erected as early
as adequate and temporary guard rails should be fitted if the permanent rails
are not available. Once an access route had been established, gratings and
boards should be removed only under a permit to work system.
SYSTEM
4.13. Installation of Space Frame

Installation drawings will be given to erection crew members with
identifications of each member and node of the space frame structure by size
and number designation to allow easy segregation during the erection phase.
Space frame shall be erected in strict accordance with the approved shop
drawings.
The space frame installation may be carried out by one or more of the
following methods subject to the site conditions:
a)assembly at ground level and subsequently lifting the completed
structure by crane.
b)assembly of small parts at ground level and jointing by crane above
ground level
c)assembly above ground level by using scaffolding.
Various number of temporary supports of 6 or 7 inches diameter pipes below
the space frame level should be provided at the site to ensure the stability of
the space frame during installation.
All components of the space frame are to be erected to match its position in
the system and will be in true line and level .
The crew should ensure that no force is placed on the members in position
during the erection to prevent secondary stresses which the member is not
designed or considered to be subject to.
All bolts should be tightened firmly and double checked manually to make
sure that no bolt will remain loose. Bolts will not be forced and threads will
not be damaged.
SYSTEM
After completion of the installation, touch up paint will be applied for

scratched or damaged surfaces. Final control and inspection at the site will be
carried out by the installation crew leader and responsible site engineer.
