Is the concrete storage tank specialized in equipment or civil engineering?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I am a newbie. I have just entered the industry. Now I am encountering a problem. I need to design a molecular sieve storage tank for a catalyst factory. They require it to be made of concrete. I am a little confused. So is this storage tank made by a professional equipment? Or is it something related to civil engineering? It seems that the equipment major mainly deals with metal containers, but this is obviously equipment. I wonder if the civil engineering major can do it?
If you only consider the structural reliability of the tank, and there are no other requirements such as chemical stability, corrosion resistance, etc., the civil engineering design should be able to handle it.
Thanks to the brother upstairs. I'll ask someone majoring in civil engineering.
It’s really depressing. Our company’s civil engineering workers are unwilling to take this job. They don’t dare to do it for fear of problems.
It's hard to say, it should be equipment expertise. For example, water professional pools are not classified as civil engineering.
However, the equipment major mainly uses steel, which is different from the stress analysis of concrete. Concrete cannot bear tensile force, but steel can.
Why can't the two professional departments work together?
In the design institute, there are two majors working together, technology and equipment taking the lead, and civil engineering reinforcement. Both majors require drawings.
Concrete pools should belong to the civil engineering profession! Whether it is an above-ground fire pool or an underground sewage pool that I have seen, they are all within the scope of civil engineering design work.
`Generally, it is done by structural engineers, not civil engineers.
I feel like the post above is a bit unprofessional. As long as it is a concrete structure, it should fall under the category of professional structural design.； It’s just a matter of which major is responsible for the main item
I think it should be the equipment specialty. The storage tank is equipment, but it is made of concrete
It should be a civil engineering major. Is it any different from a vertical pool?
I am an old engineer with decades of design experience. Non-metal tanks and pools should be designed by civil engineering professionals.
The equipment major should put forward specific requirements, and the civil engineering major should design according to the equipment major requirements and concrete tank design specifications.
It is a structural concrete project in civil reinforced concrete projects.
I don't agree with the person above. No matter what material the equipment is made of, it does not belong to the structural profession. Are boats made of concrete made by structural professionals?
This classification is not so strict. Just do it if you can do it in that major, and stay closer to the equipment.
The equipment major provides conditions, and the civil engineering major comes to do it! It’s not something that can be handled by just one major. In your company, do all majors in your company also push each other and argue with each other? I wonder why the various majors can't cooperate well. If we can be so humble when sharing money, the world will be peaceful! When you are depressed, take a corner to quell the fire, TNND! This post was last edited by asd123456 on 2008-10-8 14:56 ]
Civil construction is done, why not? Although this is part of the equipment, it must be made using civil construction methods. As long as you follow the design, it should meet the requirements.
