Sea freight collapses, "order shortage" spreads globally

The recent wildly declining global ocean rates have impacted a number of new and smaller players in the liner shipping industry, as their current earnings are not sufficient to cover the sky-high charter rates they have committed to. Allseas reportedly decided to cut capacity as freight volumes fell and Asia-Europe rates dropped 25% from May to an average of just around $7,700/teu. In addition, the large number of new ships launched by shipping giants has exacerbated the gap between supply and demand. Kang Shuchun said, last year's abnormally high freight rates let many shipping companies earn a lot of money, some of the large shipping companies will profit into the new shipbuilding only, and in the epidemic before, the global shipping capacity has been higher than the volume. The Wall Street Journal quoted energy and ship consulting firm Braemar, said the next two years will have a series of new ships launched, is expected to next year and 2024 fleet net growth rate of more than 9%, while the year-on-year growth rate of container cargo volume in 2023 will turn negative, which will make the global capacity and volume imbalance between the further intensification. The Wall Street Journal believes that due to the many uncertainties in the international political and economic situation, shipping rates are likely to fall further in the remainder of this year and into next year. From the current global economic situation, shipping freight downward trend is certain, but to what extent and when the fall is difficult to conclude.

Application of LED in architectural curtain wall

With the rapid development of China's economy, various characteristic buildings in the city have come into being. In addition to the function of the building itself, the appearance of the characteristic charm, the night lighting of the building, lighting media also put forward higher requirements. LED because of its energy saving, environmental protection, long service life, high efficiency and other incomparable advantages over traditional light sources, in recent years in the building curtain wall lighting has been widely used. LED media building curtain wall will be the integration of sound, image, video, etc., to give people a A peculiar artistic enjoyment. LED media architectural curtain wall can be used to shape the urban space, thus changing the overall image of the city. LED glass has the following characteristics: High permeability: LED glass has a permeability rate of 99% and a light transmission rate of 80%, which does not affect the line of sight and lighting; High stability: the use of light drive separation control method, greatly enhancing the service life of LED lamp beads and the stability of LED photoelectric glass, and its maintenance costs are low; convenient installation: do not damage the building structure and glass curtain wall structure, and the building curtain wall structure to achieve a perfect fit, the installation method and ordinary glass curtain wall consistent, partial replacement of glass curtain wall. LED glass that can be used as a glass curtain wall decorative building effects, but also greatly enhance the artistic expression of the night image of the building. So LED glass has been more widely used in architectural curtain walls in recent years. LED media building curtain wall is a new form of urban art, as a combination of science and art of modern urban landscape. At present, the city of various types of buildings in the LED media building curtain wall mostly use dynamic screens, display video, display advertising, urban information and humanities and art, etc., to give people a strong visual impact. Along with the rapid development of electronic information technology, advanced multimedia technology, LED media building curtain wall in the city is commonly used to improve the city's cultural and artistic atmosphere. The country strongly advocates green lighting, green indicators in the architectural curtain wall lighting project is: the choice of energy-efficient light sources; light clear LED in the application of architectural curtain wall, more to meet the requirements of energy efficiency, Although there are certain technical means of anti-glare and light pollution, but still produce - certain glare and light pollution. But we believe that with the The development of modern science and technology, the building curtain wall new decorative lighting will continue to progress, and one day will achieve the true meaning of green color lighting.

460 Meters! Suzhou Zhonghai Super Tower, The Tallest Curtain Wall Apartment Building in China

In Suzhou, one of China's most livable cities, a new 460-meter tall landmark building will rise quietly in the central business district on the western shore of Jinji Lake, forming a unified urban architectural complex facing Jinji Lake, along with the Gate of the East, Suzhou South Central Center and Suzhou Central Plaza.   The facade of Suzhou Zhonghai Super Tower utilizes sustainable design elements, including photovoltaic panels integrated throughout the podium and high-performance glass panels, effectively reducing the building's reliance on heating and air conditioning.   The podium, in the form of an open ride, is connected to the nearby Suzhou Center by a pedestrian promenade on the east side, with a series of glass light roofs that bring natural light and views of the tower into the commercial spaces on the first floor.   At the same time, the undulating facade, composed of metal grilles and glass curtain walls, creates a three-dimensional light and shadow effect of water ripples for the tower, using the light and shadow at different times of the day, angles and weather. In addition, the façade shape is inspired by the ancient scrolls that unfold slowly, expressing respect to this thousand-year-old cultural and historical city.   Suzhou China Shipping Super Tower is expected to be completed in 2027. The project will use low-carbon building materials, reduce water and energy use throughout the building system, meet strict indoor air quality requirements, and meet top industry green building certifications such as LEED Platinum, Green Building Three Star, CABEE Ultra Low Energy Building, WELL certification, and Healthy Building Label.   In addition, according to the design plan, the project façade will adopt "golden" glass curtain wall throughout, which can also be said to be another ceiling of value by the Jinji Lake.

1500 Tons Steel Truss Structure Members Exported to Oceania

1500 Tons Steel Truss Structure Members Exported to Oceania on August, 2022.   A steel truss refers to a truss made of steel. In the roof structures, crane beams, bridges and hydraulic gates of industrial and civil buildings, steel trusses are often used as the main load-bearing components. All kinds of towers, such as mast towers, TV towers and transmission line towers, are commonly used space steel trusses composed of three-sided, four-sided or multi-sided planar trusses.   The most commonly used is the plane truss, which is essentially a lattice beam under the action of lateral loads. Compared with solid-web steel beams, steel trusses are characterized by chords instead of flanges and webs instead of webs. Rods and chords are connected to each other; sometimes the members can be welded (or otherwise connected) directly to each other without the use of gusset plates. In this way, the bending moment of the plane truss as a whole is expressed as the axial compression and tension of the upper and lower chords, and the shear force is expressed as the axial compression or tension of each web member.   Application: Trusses are widely used in steel structures, such as roofs (roof trusses, etc.) and crane beams (ie crane trusses) of industrial and civil buildings, bridges, cranes (its towers, beams or booms, etc.), hydraulic gates, In offshore oil production platforms, steel trusses are often used as the main components of load-bearing structures. Various types of steel grids, which are widely used in the roof structure of large-span public buildings, belong to space steel trusses. Various types of towers, such as TV, power transmission, drilling, crane towers and mast towers, often use space steel trusses composed of three-sided, four-sided or multi-sided planar trusses.   Looking forward to your visit and inquiry.

The outer wall of the 218-meter Changsha Telecom Building caught fire. Who is to blame?

On the afternoon of September 16, 2022, a fire broke out in the China Telecom Building in the urban area of Changsha, Hunan Province. Thick smoke billowed from the scene, and dozens of floors burned violently.   The telecommunications building was built in 2000 and is located in the East Second Ring Road of Changsha City. It was the first building in Changsha to exceed 200 meters with a height of 218 meters.   Now, after a few minutes of fire, the building has turned into such a "black" color... Whether it is the owner, or the design, construction unit and material suppliers, or practitioners in the door, window and curtain wall industry, they all feel a while heartbroken.   In high-rise building fires, the fire tends to spread rapidly upwards in a short period of time, which is due to the "chimney effect" formed by high-rise buildings! The phenomenon of enhanced convection of air.   In recent years, there have been quite a number of high-rise and super-high-rise curtain wall buildings whose exterior wall materials, design and construction do not meet the requirements of current regulations. When a fire occurs, there is a risk of spreading throughout the building, and more attention needs to be paid!   At the same time, behind the accident again and again, is our thinking on the design height of the future building curtain wall and the selection of external wall insulation materials!

2300 Square Meters Unitized Glass Curtain Wall Exported to Oceania

2300 square meters unitized glass curtain wall exported to Oceania on June and August, 2022.   This project is nearing completion, much ahead of schedule. Our products have won unanimous praise from customers and are recognized by the local market.   Unitized glass curtain wall systems are composed of large glass units that are created and glazed within a factory and then sent to the construction site. Once arriving on site, the units can then be hoisted onto anchors connected to the building whatever concrete or steel buildings. High quality, due to tight tolerances of fabrication in a climate-controlled environment, is only one hallmark of this type of system. Because there is no on-site glazing, another major benefit of using a unitized system is the quicker speed of installation. The system can be installed in a third of the time of a stick-built system which means a lot of site time saving. This system is well suited for cases where there is a large volume of prefabricated unitized panels required, where there are higher field labor costs (thereby shifting the labor to a more cost-effective factory work force), where higher performance is needed (for wind loads, air/moisture protection, seismic/blast performance), for taller structures, and more regular conditions for panel optimization.   The unit glass curtain wall assembles panels and metal frames (beams, columns) into curtain wall units in the factory. The structural features of unit glass curtain walls in the form of curtain wall units are: first, the units (skeleton materials, glass, insulation Insulation materials) are assembled into a complete frame in a special factory, and then transported to the construction site. At the construction site, only one curtain wall unit needs to be installed and fixed to the main structure of the building in turn.   Because the columns are connected, their specifications should be consistent with the storey height and column spacing. When connected to a floor or beam, the height of the curtain wall should be equivalent to the story height or a multiple of the story height; when connected to the columns, the width of the curtain wall should be equivalent to the column spacing.   The advantages of unit glass curtain wall are: simple and fast installation on the construction site, shortening the construction period of the project.   Looking forward to your visit and inquiry.

How to resist earthquakes in steel structure buildings?

Why is the seismic effect of steel structure buildings the best? • Strong toughness, good ductility, not easy to cause brittle failure; • Soft stiffness, light weight of the structure, small earthquake response; • High strength, not easy to yield or damage in earthquakes.   What are the advantages of steel structure buildings in terms of earthquake resistance? • Sufficient seismic study In recent years, after many studies on energy dissipation and shock absorption of steel structures, a representative damper was selected, and the shock absorption effect and economy were analyzed from the aspects of applicability, plane and elevation layout, structure height, fortification intensity and performance target. . • Reasonable structural arrangement In the design process, according to the functional requirements of the building, the energy-dissipating support and other components are arranged in the area that does not affect the building function, so that the plane is more concise and uniform, the earthquake resistance is more reasonable, and more seismic energy is dissipated. • Strict seismic measures In the area of ​​the beam-column connection node, the anti-seismic measures of welding the reinforcing plate to the beam end flange are adopted, so that the bearing capacity of the steel structure node is greater than the bearing capacity of the component, the structural integrity is better, and the earthquake resistance goal of ensuring that it does not fall over in a major earthquake. • Perfect construction control standards For the main seismic components of the structure (such as frame columns, frame beams, and buckling braces BRB, seismic ball bearings, etc.), on the basis of the specifications, there are more complete and detailed enterprise control standards to ensure the quality of processing and on-site construction. .
