Does “wall bearing construction” mean that it only keeps out the weather? If not, what does it mean? 2. What does skeleton construction mean? 3. What kind of construction is used for a building of one hundred storeys high? Translation Bearing walls have to carry the weight of the building. That means that the walls of the building on the lower floors have to be very thick. With skeleton-frame construction, walls don’t support the building. Their main function is to keep wind and rain out of the building. * * * * Unit 6 Structural Elements 结构构件 Leading in Dialogue Text Exercises Teaching Steps Pictures to the Dialogue Steel Structure Roof Bolts and Connection Molds Truss The Erection of Steel Structure Key Words and Phrases: fabrication erection column beam adopt 6. accuracy 7. steel structure 8. step by step 9. high strength 10. erection error shop drawing design drawing Dialogue A: The structure is a very important part of the works. Now let’s go and have a close look at the fabrication of the steel structure step by step, OK? B: That’s good. Let’s have a look at the erection of the steel structure. The principle sequence of erection works is from low level to high level, from column to beam, from the main beam to secondary beams and from center to outer sides. A: All columns and beams are connected by high strength bolts. It’s not allowed to have a single bolt to be fixed by over force. How can you manage it? B: During the fabrication of the steel structure we adopt high accuracy for connection molds in which the sizes and position of the holes are controlled below 25% the tolerance of the specification, which allows a limitation of erection error. A: Are all the molds made in the same fa
