Coal Mill Structure, Blast resistant - Germany
Arcus Engineering performed structural and connection analysis for an industrial coal mill structure in Germany. In addition to operational and structural loads, the engineering assessment included blast-related effects associated with the project's industrial design conditions.
Coal-processing structures can be subject to demanding combinations of permanent, operational, equipment-related and accidental loads.
For this project, the structural model and connection design needed to account for the defined blast-related action in addition to the standard design conditions.
Arcus Engineering developed a finite element model of the steel structure and evaluated its behaviour under the required load combinations.
The analysis considered:
Arcus Engineering provides structural modelling and connection verification for industrial equipment-support structures and systems exposed to operational, seismic, thermal or accidental actions.
