Abstract
AbstractIndustrial steel structures supporting thermal Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) are subjected to great lateral forces due to wind and an earthquake. Industrial steel structures are made out of number of joints and structural members, this complicated structural system has to be designed carefully. Strength and performance of these structures for the various combinations of load, geometry, and boundary conditions have to be ascertained before erection. In the present investigation, analytical procedure has been carried out to know the response of various lateral force resisting systems such as “X”, “Inverted V”, “K”, and “Knee” bracings and “Moment Resisting Frame” under high (Zone 5) and low (Zone 2) seismic zones. Response spectrum method of seismic analysis has been used for the study using STAAD Pro V8i software. The various parameters such as fundamental time period, lateral displacement, and storey shear among various structural systems are compared. From the results, it was found that Inverted V bracings show better performance under both high (Zone 5) and low (Zone 2) seismic zone. Further Inverted V bracing is found to be the most efficient structural system for ZLD structure compared to other lateral force resisting systems.
