Description

Steel structure hangars are used to protect and maintain small and large aircraft. Our steel frame buildings provide the ideal solution for the needs of personal aviation warehouses, commercial aircraft and private jets. We used steel as a building material because it can be reused to build new aircraft hangars and is durable enough to withstand constant weather changes.

The steel hangar building is a long-span, single-story building used for the storage and maintenance of aircraft. Depending on the number of aircraft and floor layout requirements, the building height and structural form of the hangar building also vary, mainly depending on the following factors:

• Synchronize maintenance aircraft types and quantities, maintenance items and required maintenance.
• Requirements and restrictions on hangar structure height and floor plan.
• Requirements for hangar doors and cranes and working platforms in the hangar.
• Configuration requirements for fire protection facilities inside and outside the hangar.
• Site conditions and future development trends.

Steel structure hangar design

• The span and height of the hangar are relatively large. Generally, the span of a large aircraft hangar is more than 62m and the height is about 20m. The span of the medium-sized hangar also exceeds 42m.
• In order to meet the requirements for aircraft to enter and exit the hangar, the front opening of the hangar is large and there are no pillars. The gate opening structure is a key issue in the design of large-span hangar structures.
• In order to meet the usage requirements of the hangar, the roof is required to have greater stiffness. Under high wind loads, such as with lightweight roofing systems, engineers must consider the effect of wind suction on the structure when the doors are open.

Aircraft hangar structure

The steel structure hangar has unique floor layout and height requirements, which directly affect the structure of the building.

Due to the large span of the hangar, the roof structure accounts for a large amount of weight in the total load. Steel structures have the advantages of high strength, light weight, and small cross-section. Therefore, long-span buildings generally use steel structures as load-bearing roof systems, which can reduce the weight of the roof structure and reduce costs.

Fireproof design

The hangar is spacious and many aircraft are regularly maintained in the building. Therefore, various maintenance equipment and work platforms are accompanied by explosion sources of oil and gas combustion. Fire protection and explosion protection must have strict requirements and complete facilities. At present, high foam fire extinguishing systems are mostly used.
