Calculation method for the strength of the main beam of the tower platform
Thread Content
I would like to ask about the methods for determining loads during the design of tower platforms and for calculating the strength of the main beams.
Generally, no calculation is required; it is sufficient to select the dimensions as specified for tower equipment, provided that the uniformly distributed loads and concentrated loads meet the requirements. If more accurate calculations are needed, that falls within the scope of the structural engineering field, where calculations are carried out using principles of mechanics of materials, with the beam model being simplified
May I ask from what sources can I choose a platform?
Generally, the maintenance platform is used, with a calculated load of 400 KG/m2
Are there any examples of design calculations for tower top platforms that I can study?
Material mechanics should be used for the calculation, in order to identify the points of maximum stress.
There is a book in the series on chemical equipment design titled \"Steel Frame Design\", which covers this topic
