Abstract:The steel framework of a utility boiler was an important structure sustained loads, and its strength and stiffness were primary factors in structural design. Stiffness was assessed by measuring perpendicularity of pillars. For this steel framewok seismic loads was significant to the entire strength. In order to refer to the influence of seismic loads, finite element method was adopted to analyze the strength of the whole steel framework. According to the results of finite element analysis, the maximum equivale… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
