The issue of support loads on pipe racks in utility tunnels
Thread Content
There is now a question: fixed supports are installed on certain axes within the device’s internal ductwork, and the horizontal thrust on these axes is lower than that on other axes. But those familiar with the structure say that the columns and beams on other axes are arranged in the same way, meaning they can fully bear the load from the fixed frame. I wonder if that’s the case? Thank you!
That’s indeed the case. That’s indeed the case with Banzhu. That’s indeed the case with Banzhu. Oh, the spotted bamboo
After the pipeline is welded to the fixing frame, the horizontal thrust is absorbed by the frame; when designing the pipe galleries for the entire plant, we consider the fixing frame as a separate element. I recommend that you first have a stress specialist calculate the forces, and then have the structural engineering team verify them.
