Project Challenges: Double Impact of Typhoons and Earthquakes The coal storage bunker of Power Plant in the Philippines has been facing tests from extreme natural conditions since the planning stage: Climate Challenge : Located in a super typhoon zone with wind speeds of up to 260 kilometers per hour, it withstands fierce storms and heavy rains every year. Geological Threat : Situated in a high seismic intensity zone with Z=0.4, the structural stability must be absolutely guaranteed. Cost Pressure : The client requires strict control over overseas construction costs while ensuring safety, and also demands controllable construction periods. Ultra-Large Scale : With a total height of 48.675 meters and a foundation height of 3.0 meters, the long-span dome design poses a great challenge to structural strength for industrial projects. Solutions: Comprehensive Upgrades from Design to Materials Targeting these pain points, our overseas engineering team has tailor-made a combined solu...

What to pay attention to in the design of a steel truss?

-

 

(1) Cross-section design of rods: The cross-section form of truss rods should be selected according to the conditions of saving steel, convenient connection and simple manufacture, and attention should be paid to make the length and slenderness ratio of rods in two main axes direction (the ratio between calculated length of rods and radius of rotation of the cross-section) as similar as possible, and should meet the requirements of strength, stability and length and slenderness ratio.

(2) Strength and stability check: in the calculation of the strength and stability of the bar, the internal force is considered according to the axial force, when the bar is subject to axial force and bending moment at the same time, it should be considered according to the eccentricity of the force and its common role. When calculating the stability and slenderness ratio of the bars, the in-plane and out-of-plane directions of the truss or the unfavorable direction of the larger slenderness ratio should be considered.

The allowable slenderness ratio of rods shall be calculated according to the cases of rods subjected to compression or tension, static load or dynamic load. 

(3) Arching: In order to offset all or part of deflection under self-weight and load and to maintain beautiful appearance of steel joist with slightly larger span, the joist is usually pre-arched during fabrication, and the value of arching is generally 1/500 of the span or the value specified in the design.

In the steel truss design and application selection, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the use requirements, use characteristics, span and load size as well as material supply situation, construction conditions and other factors, and conduct comprehensive technical and economic analysis.

What is a coal bunker?

-
图片
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...

 It is widely used in modernist architecture. Steel structure installation is mainly carried out by electric welding welding and bolts. Because the steel frame structure is compact and practical, it brings great convenience to engineering construction. In order to promote the sustainable development concept of steel frame structure in the construction engineering industry, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth analysis of the construction stage of steel structure, especially the node design, to ensure reliability.       Steel plate materials are widely used in modernist buildings because of their extreme seismic performance, plasticity and reliability. Jiangsu steel structure project construction is to be processed with bolts or steel to make the building structure. Accompanied by the improvement of living standards and the rapid development of the construction industry, the requirements for steel frame structure are rigorous. As a result, the design of steel fra...
