Regarding the issue of external pressure reinforcement rings for plate towers?
Thread Content
Regarding plate towers under external pressure, can the tray be used as a reinforcement ring when calculating this external pressure? Please give my friend some advice! Thank you!
In practice, trays certainly play a role in providing reinforcement, but the moment of inertia may not be large enough to meet the requirements imposed by external pressures!
What if the distance between the trays is very small? Can it serve as a reinforcing effect?
It can be determined through calculation. Simplifications may be necessary when calculating the moment of inertia of the tray.
If necessary, it can serve as a reinforcing ring, but the moment of inertia must be ensured
GB150: Components inside the vessel, such as trays, can also be used as reinforcement rings if they are designed to serve a reinforcing purpose
