The Use of Stone in Transportation Construction Space Decoration
With the rapid development of urban rail transit construction in China, subway stations have gradually become a window to display the city's historical culture and a city card. Stone, as a mature decorative material in modern architecture, not only meets the needs of rail transit station decoration projects but also plays an important role in transportation construction space.
Application of Stone in Transportation Construction Space
Floor Paving
According to statistics, the use of natural stone in floor paving of rail transit stations (public areas) in China is as high as more than 90%, mainly using domestic granite, such as white maca, gray maca, yellow maca, green maca, etc.
Special Structures
Stone also plays an important role in special parts of the station, such as stair treads, facades, blind paths, skirting boards, water retaining platforms, platform door warning strips, and ground evacuation.
Characteristics of Stone Decoration Engineering
Design
Design should consider both decorative effects and functional use to ensure passengers can safely and quickly reach their destination while facilitating daily operation and maintenance.
Material Selection
Local materials should be used as much as possible to save transportation costs and ensure the construction period. Material selection should consider the color, texture, and technical performance indicators of the stone.
Protection
The underground space of subway stations is prone to dampness, so it is crucial to protect natural stone on all six sides to prevent phenomena such as efflorescence, rust spots, and water stains.
Acceptance
Material quality and usage standards should meet the industry's upper limit. Design units need to cooperate with relevant institutions to complete pre-acceptance and formal acceptance.
Conclusion
In urban rail transit construction, the selection and application of stone need to comprehensively consider various aspects such as design, material selection, protection, and acceptance to ensure that the final decorative effect of the station space meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.
