Design Criteria Nanning RB

1 General
1.1 Design scope
This design criteria describes design regulations and methods to be used in designing steel
structures for recovery boiler building (RB), located at site NO.7 Jingchun Road, Liujing
Industrial Park, Liujing Town, Nanning City, Guangxi Province, China.

This criteria includes following structures and buildings:


• Boiler building including:
o Primary Stair and Elevator Tower
o Secondary Stair Tower
• Flue gas duct support structures outside of the boiler building

Design service life is 50 years.

1.2 Construction description

1.2.1 Boiler building


The frame of the building is made of structural steel and building frames transfer loadings of
the building to concrete foundaiton. In the strength calculations the columns are considered
to be pinned connections to foundations.

The skeleton of the boiler house will be designed to be a structural entity. The steel
structure will be divided into vertical erection phases. There are a horizontally braced
stiffening platforms on top of each erection [Link] platforms are stiffening the frame
against horizontal forces of equipment, seismic and wind forces and transferring these
forces to vertical trusses on each outer wall line of the building.

Horizontal truss is a system consisting of platform beams and diagonal bracings. The
stiffening system also allows to decrease buckling lengths, because it gives lateral support
to columns.

Because the main skeleton must be braced before assembling equipment, the vertical
stiffening is made by locating braces along wall lines.

[Link] Elevator and Primary Stair Towers


The Primary Stair / Elevator Tower is located outside the building have own vertical steel
frame and which is horizontally connected to columns of the building at
levels of stiffened platforms.

[Link] Secondary stair towers


The Secondary Stair Tower is located outside the building have own vertical steel frame
and which is horizontally connected to columns of the building at levels of stiffened
platforms. Primary Stair / Elevator Tower and Secondary Stair Tower are located diagonally
opposite to each other.

Steel frame will be modelled by FEM based analysis program. All the identified loads will be
added to model. The structure members will be designed according to GB 50017.
In structural analysis braces of stiffening platforms and walls are modelled as truss like

seismic checking a seismic adjustment coefficient γRE = 0.80 for strength calculation, and
γRE = 0.80 for stability calculation are used (GB 22395 Table 24 and GB 50011 Table
5.4.2).

Design Criteria Nanning RB

Secondary beams are assumed to be restrained by grating panels (min 2.5 m wide) so that

IPE 270... IPE400 0.8 * L
>IPE450 or HEA 1.0 * L

The above secondary beams LTB-length factors can be used only if the main load is live

It is assumed that each bolt is anchored to concreate so that bolt yielding always happens
before concrete failure.

The anchor bolt lengths must be checked by customer’s civil engineer. Customer’s civil
engineer must design proper reinforcements around anchor bolts that bolt yielding is
possible before concrete failure.
