What are the key points to consider when establishing a mineral warehouse on the coast of Nigeria?

👉 Project location: Nigerian coast 👉 Project type: Mine warehouse (span 100 metres, length 125 metres) 1. Structural Design  Span and Length:  The mine warehouse has a span of 100 metres and a length of 125 metres, employing a large-span steel structure design to ensure structural stability and load-bearing capacity.  It is recommended to use a steel truss structure or space frame structure to meet the large-span requirements and optimise material usage.  The structural design must consider wind loads, seismic loads, and dynamic loads during the operation of the bucket wheel excavator. Foundation Design:  Since the project is located by the sea, the foundation may be relatively soft. It is recommended to use deep foundation design (such as pile foundations) to ensure structural stability.  Foundation construction must consider the impact of groundwater levels and saline-alkali environments, and foundation reinforcement should be carried out when necessa...

Disadvantages of prestressed concrete structures

1. The process is more complex, high quality requirements, thus requiring a more skilled professional team, and there are problems of interspersed types of work.

2. Sub-stress. Secondary stresses due to prestressing, creep and shrinkage effects, temperature variations, and bearing subsidence can be severe in continuous structures unless these are controlled or accounted for in the design. In prestressed continuous structures, it is interesting to note that these secondary stresses can often be exploited advantageously, and thus the secondary stresses will increase the economy of the structure.

3. Friction losses in continuous force bars. Friction losses can be significant if there are many reverse curves, if the curves have large deflection angles, or if the force bars are too long. In beams with corrugations or added axils, friction losses can be minimised by using straighter cables. The usual methods of over-tensioning and tensioning from both ends can also be used to minimise friction losses.

4. Certain specialised equipment is required, such as tensioning rigs and grouting equipment. Pre-tensioning method requires a tensioning pedestal; post-tensioning method also consumes a larger number of reliable quality of anchorage, etc.. However, now the more widely used slow bond prestressing is a great improvement on this basis.

5. The start-up cost of prestressed concrete structure is larger, and the cost is higher for projects with a small number of members.

6. Prestressed reverse arch is not easy to control. It increases with the increase of concrete creep, causing the structure to finish unevenly. Especially the pre-stressed prefabricated members are more significant, the anti-arch is not coordinated, and the cracking problem of the members brings more difficulties to the site.

7. Under high temperature conditions, the strength of reinforced concrete after applying prestressing will be significantly reduced, leading to a decrease in its fire resistance limit, so there are safety hazards in building fire protection.

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...

Strength and stability analysis of grid steel structures

 The strength problem of space frame steel structure refers to whether the maximum stress (or internal force) caused by the load of the structure or a single component exceeds the ultimate strength of the building material in a stable equilibrium state, so it is a stress problem. The value of ultimate strength depends on the characteristics of the material. For brittle materials such as concrete, its maximum strength can be taken, and for steel, its yield point is often taken.            The stability problem is different from the strength problem. It is mainly to find the unstable equilibrium state between the external load and the internal resistance of the structure, that is, the state where deformation begins to increase rapidly, so as to try to avoid entering this state. Therefore, it is a deformation problem. For example, for axial compression columns, due to instability and lateral deflection, a large amount of bending moment is added to the c...

图片
As a form of  steel structure , with the rapid development of the construction industry, space frame  processing as an important processing technology, its quality control and quality assurance methods are of great significance for improving project quality and reducing project costs. This paper will introduce the importance of quality control and quality assurance methods, the specific methods and the relationship between them, and put forward some suggestions.   I. Introduction space frame  processing is a process in which materials are made into products with certain shapes and specifications by cutting, grinding, splicing and other technological means. space frame  processing is widely used in construction and other fields, and its quality control and quality assurance methods directly affect the quality, safety and reliability of products. Therefore, for space frame  processing enterprises, it is essential to establish strict quality control and qualit...
