How to Prevent Structural Deformation in Steel Silos

-
图片
  Steel silos are widely used in industrial operations for storing coal, cement, grains, ores, and other bulk materials. As a key part of storage infrastructure, they must maintain stable shape and structural integrity over years of use. However, structural deformation is one of the most common and dangerous issues in steel silos, often caused by uneven loads, improper design, poor construction, environmental stress, or long-term wear. Even minor deformation can lead to material blockage, seal failure, coating cracks, and accelerated corrosion. In severe cases, it can threaten overall safety and cause unexpected downtime. For facility managers, engineers, and project owners, preventing structural deformation is not only about protecting equipment but also about ensuring stable production, reducing maintenance costs, and extending service life. Below are practical, easy-to-follow methods to prevent structural deformation in steel silos, suitable for daily operation, maintenance, a...

What is the size of the grid size depends on?

space frame

Grid size depends on the choice of roofing materials, 

  1. if the roofing system without purlins, that is, the use of wire mesh cement board or reinforced concrete roof panels, grid size should not exceed 4m, otherwise the roof panels will be very heavy;
  2. If the purlin system is used, the grid size should not exceed 6m due to the economic span of purlins.

What is a coal bunker?

-

Coal bunker , is a structure used for storing coal. Coal bunkers play an important role in thermal power plants, coal mines and coal marshalling stations. Depending on the specific application scenario and design, there are various types of coal bunkers, such as circular coal bunkers, square coal bunkers and open coal yards. Safety Management of coal bunkers Preventing spontaneous combustion of coal: Since coal itself contains certain moisture and volatile substances, long-term exposure to the air may lead to spontaneous combustion, so the safe management of coal bunkers is of great significance in preventing spontaneous combustion of coal. Ensure the quality of coal: coal in the coal bunker usually needs to be stored for a long time, if not managed properly, it may lead to the decline in the quality of coal, such as sulphurisation, weathering and other phenomena, so it is necessary to ensure the quality of coal by strengthening the safety management of the coal bunker. Improve the eco...

What is the difference between a single-layer reticulated shell and a double-layerreticulated shell?

  The differences between single-layer reticulated shells and double-layer reticulated shells are as follows: Structural Configuration   Single-layer reticulated shell: Composed of a single layer of members, with the members directly connected to form a grid structure . The node configuration is relatively simple, typically employing rigid connections that allow the members to bear not only axial forces but also bending moments and shear forces.   Double-layer reticulated shell: Consists of upper and lower parallel layers of members connected by web members, forming a truss-like structural system. The nodes are generally hinged, and the members primarily bear axial forces. Its configuration is relatively complex, requiring more members and nodes to ensure structural stability and load-bearing capacity. Structure Single-layer mesh shell: composed of one layer of rods, the rods are directly connected to form a mesh structure, the node structure is relatively simple, usually...

Structural Steel Bolting Balls: Connecting the Future, Securing the Cornerstone

-
图片
In the field of steel structure , bolted ball, as an innovative choice of connecting node, is gradually becoming the preferred solution in modern buildings and industrial facilities due to its advantages of easy installation, removable and reorganisable, and low maintenance cost. Compared with traditional welded balls, bolted balls not only simplify the construction process and improve efficiency, but also give the structure greater flexibility and sustainability, which is an indispensable and important component in modern steel structure projects. The core concept of the bolted ball connection technology is to use high-strength bolts to closely connect the components to form a stable and reliable node structure. Compared with welded ball, bolted ball connection does not require on-site welding and avoids thermal stress, deformation and weld quality problems that may arise during the welding process, thus improving the overall stability and safety of the structure. In addition, the bo...
