Design of Multi-layer Workshop Structure for Metallurgical Plant and Mine
Introduction
Metallurgical plant and mine require special treatment for the construction of multi-layer workshop structure, due to its complexity. In this article, a multi-layer workshop structure design of a metallurgical plant and mine is introduced, focusing on nine key aspects, which include the design of steel columns, beams, purlins, bracings, eaves, stairs and elevator shafts, roofs, and foundations.
Steel Columns
The steel columns of the multi-layer workshop structure should be sized based on the demand of building load, and meet the requirements of seismic design and wind load of the site. The columns should be designed to support the load of the roof and floor, and curved arcs should be designed for angles greater than 90°. The structural design should also take into account the erection process, connection and support on the ground, as well as maintenance and other issues.
Beams
Beams should be designed as required by the building load and the width and height of the workshop structure. In order to meet the requirements of local seismic, load and other parameters, steel plates and hollow sections are usually selected as the main structural materials. The structural design also needs to include the construction clearance, airtightness and fireproofing, and safety of the main structure.
Purlins, Bracings and Eaves
The purlins, bracings, and eaves of the multi-layer workshop structure should be designed not only to support the loads of roof and floors, but also to meet the requirements of earthquake design, wind load, drainage and water proof. Purlins should be designed to be light in weight to facilitate the erecting process and reduce material costs. In order to meet various requirements, steel plates and hollow sections should be selected for the purlins, bracings, and eaves of the building.
Stairs and Elevator Shafts
The stairs and elevator shafts of the multi-layer workshop structure should be designed to meet the requirements of load capacity and safety. The main materials selected should consider their fireproofing, thickness, strength and other related factors. Additionally, the height of the stairs should be adjusted according to the specific application, and the handrails should be designed to meet the requirement of strength and rigidity.
Roofs
The roof of the multi-layer workshop structure should be designed to meet the relevant technical requirements, such as seismic design, wind load and waterproofing. The main material used should be light in weight and able to meet the requirement of strength and fireproofing. The design of the roof should also consider issues related to temperature and humidity, sound insulation and heat insulation, illumination and ventilation for the workshop.
Foundations
The foundations of the multi-layer workshop structure should be designed according to local site conditions. Different soils require different solutions and it is essential to consider the site conditions and relevant regulations during the design of the foundation. In addition, design should include the installation fixtures, embedding and floor structure fixing.
Conclusion
The design of multi-layer workshop structure for metallurgical plants and mines is a complex process. It requires comprehensive consideration of various technical requirements and regulations and professional considerations. This article has introduced nine key aspects of the design process, including the design of steel columns, beams, purlins, bracings, eaves, stairs and elevator shafts, roofs, and foundations.
