The patent application (Publication Number: US20230417051A1) discloses a grille beam structure construction method specifically designed for semiconductor factories. The method involves installing columns and studs at predetermined intervals in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Grille beams are then mounted above the columns and studs, with a rectangular-frame-shaped edge beam housing transverse and longitudinal members that intersect and are grid-arranged within the edge beam. The integration of the grille beams is achieved by matching and inserting bolts into fastening holes located on the edge beams.

Furthermore, the method includes maintaining a specific distance between grille beams and filling the space with non-shrinkage mortar. Additional features such as backup members for sealing spaces, filling grooves for mortar application, bolt head seating grooves for preventing protrusion, inner corner protrusion parts for covering studs, rough surface treatment for increased friction force, and dowel bars for reinforcement are also detailed. The method emphasizes structural integrity and stability through various design elements like through holes for dowel bars, recessed grooves for mortar filling, and coupler connection grooves for reinforcing bars. Overall, the construction method outlined in the patent application aims to provide a robust and efficient solution for grille beam structures in semiconductor factories.
