Abstract |
|
Pipe racks are essential for the operation of industrial facilities but because pipe racks are considered non-building structures, code referenced documents will usually not cover the design and analysis of the structure. Commonly steel pipe racks are used to facilitate fast and flexible construction; however fire hazard and economy are its prime demerits. Present study aims a comparative study of combined pipe rack made with steel rack and R.C.C support with steel pipe rack which are general in common construction practices. Combined pipe rack is far more advantageous over steel pipe rack regarding structural aspects and construction cost. The result assists to understand a comparative structural behaviour and cost effectiveness of combined pipe rack over steel pipe rack and also can be used as guiding tool for the selection of better system for the pipe racks. |
