Analysis of Seismic Design for the Mechanical Draft Cooling Tower

摘要

Based on the analysis of the mechanical draft cooling tower in a project, the role for seismic structure design, played by reinforced concrete panel wall in the tower, has been studied. This paper compares two calculation models by PKPM, the one of which considers influence of the partition and the other not. Comparison for the results with ANSYS method also is used. This calculation shows that the influence, which put by the reinforced concrete panel wall in the tower, on the structural stiffness is significant, and the calculation of the partition during the entire structure computation should be taken into account.
