Diseño de una estructura metálica con un área de 400 m2 para una línea de galvanizado en caliente

Abstract

The outgoing technical project complies with the structural design for a galvanizing plant, which must be designed in structural steel, taking a galvanizing plant as a reference, along with the technical guideline of the Ecuadorian standardization institute INEN 2009 [1], where gives an idea of how the correct distribution of the galvanizing line process will be. The plant must be functional and allow a prudent area in the different processes during hot-dip galvanizing, being for a future execution of the structure it can proceed to the manufacture and assembly on an architectural study. In the compendiums of the structure that will be designed as columns, base plates, beams, braces and tensioners, the best calculation, dimensioning and design methods will be used for the solution of this structure. The international standard AISC 360-16 and referring to the codes of the NEC 2015 standard will be applied with their respective specifications of the LRFD and ASD method in data processing and structural design with existing materials in the national market. The structure will be designed with welded connections supported by the AWS welding standard. The applied method used to develop the project will be deductive. It starts from general rules for construction with a metal structure, it will arrive at a particular case. The scope of the structural design will be subject to self-weight loads, permanent loads of nonstructural elements, hail/ash loads, on live use easements, wind easements and seismic easements, for the design its determination will be made based on porticos. special with pillars and beams of steel A572 Gr.50 and A 36.
