Let’s all talk about the various structural forms of the intermediate heads that are subjected to independent compression at both ends of the tower! The intermediate head is subjected to external pressure; what type of structure is generally chosen for it? Is there any connection between the structure chosen and the design pressure? Additionally, what are the non-destructive testing methods for welding the intermediate head?
Generally, arch-shaped heads are chosen. As for non-destructive testing, full penetration welding is required first, and the testing usually involves only surface inspection.
