PARAMETRIC STUDY ON AN INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE FOR VARIOUS DYNAMIC LOADS

S.Ramesh, V. Vinoth Kumar

Abstract: Industrial machinery produce vibrations during its operation. Vibrations are transmitted to structure. However, an industrial structure is designed for these dynamic effects. But there are some dynamic effects which still to be considered. Those are, wind, earth quake and accidental blast loads. Though these loads are not frequent, but its occasional appearance will destroy the structure. An industry with thousands of labours, if gets these occasional dynamic effect, then it might result in much fatal. Therefore an industrial structure must be designed in such a way, that it resists the force created by these dynamic effects and dissipates in a better manner. This study is a numerical analysis of an industrial structure, subjected to wind, earthquake and blast load. The results are compared for severity, and the remedial measures shall be discussed. By adopting the remedial measures, the analysis shall be performed again and the effects will be compared with the earlier results of a normal structure. Drafting software Auto CAD is used for modelling the structure and SAP 2000 analysis software will be used for dynamic analysis. The purpose of this research project work is to study and understand the behavior of structure for dynamic loadings

Keywords: Industrial structure, dynamic analysis, and blast load
