Conveyor gallery - structural design parameter
Conveyor belt- A medium to carry material. It consists of two or more pulley.
Types of conveyor-Conventional and pipe.
Material- Grains, Cement, Coal etc
Difficult material-powdery material.
Lignite carrying gallery have different arrangement then typical
Length of gallery-8 to 30m
Width 4-10m
Bracing system -X&V
Feeding rate-400, 600, 800, 1200, 1400, 1600,1800, 2000 t/hr +20% extra
General inclination of conveyor 0 to 15 degree but preferably up to 10 degree. After 10 degree
floor wt increases due to steps.
One way or three way walk way. Width may change for walkway.
Seal plate.
Deck plate.
Dust load.
Conveyor with flat member.
Conveyor with tubular section.
Load parameter:
1. Depth of gallery
2. Width of panel
3. Roof slope
4. Belt width
5. Design capacity
6. Belt speed
7. Wt of belt(carrying + return)
8. Wt of idler(carrying + return)
9. Wt of stringer, short post, etc
10. Wt of handrail
11. Wt of lightning arrangement
12. Wt of cable tray
13. Wt of fire fighting pipe
14. Wt of service water pipe
15. Wt of DS water pipe
16. Wt of potable water pipe
17. Basic wind speed.
Wind
Material
Capacity of conveyor (t/hr)
Material wt per/m based on speed
Wt of belt itself (10%) as per code IS-11592
LIVE LOAD
Live load on walk way
Live load on Seal plate
Live load on deck plate
Width of each deck plate
And LL from each deck plate to be computed.
Weight of Pipe:
Total weight of service water pipe
Total weight of DS water pipe
Total weight of potable water pipe
Load of Cable Tray:
Total Weight of Cable Tray on gallery is to be considered.
Then, load on one side gallery-girder due to cable tray is computed
Then, load on other side (pipe side) gallery-girder is also to be computed
Load on Roof:
Here roof slope to be considered
a) Live Load = as per –IS.875 – Part 2 LL on roof
b) Dust Load = As per Dust Load
Hence UDL on roof is to be computed
Load of Lighting Arrangement:
Here load of lighting arrangement for per light point is to be considered
Load of Fire Fighting Arrangement:
Load of Fire fighting arrangement at two joints in each roof truss to be considered
Dead Load on Gallery to be computed considering
Self weight of roof sheeting
Self weight of side sheeting
Self weight of purins and side runner
Self weight of chequered plate
Self weight of deck plate
Self weight of seal plate with stiffener
Self weight of other members shall be taken as applicable to the respective members as
perIS.808
Conveyor load calculations should consider
Conveyor load stands for dead load of conveyor-
Weight of idler (Carrying + return)
Wt of stringer, Sh. Post, etc.
Wt. of deck plate
Wt. of Hand rail
Wt. of side hand rail
DEAD LOAD (DL):
Internal Panel:
Load intensity on effective width of truss
Load on floor:
DL on 0.8 m wide right/left walkway and 0.175 m wide seal plate supporting members with s/w
DL on bottom chord members from 0.175 wide seal plate
DL from 0.175 m wide seal plate and 2.05 m wide seal plate supporting members
DL from 1 m wide middle walkway and 0.175 m wide seal plate supporting members with s/w
Load of side sheeting and side runner:
Load intensity is to be assumed to be acting on
Side sheeting
Load on Internal Portion:
Load on top and bottom nodes of each verticals to be computed
Load on Portal
Load on top and bottom nodes of each verticals to be computed
Conveyor Load:
Total weight of conv. (excluding belt wt.)
Load from each short post/side to be calculated based on Short post spacing
