<p>A cabled pipe rack is an assembly of structural elements put together to form a robust structural framework to function similar to conventional pipe rack. The invention employs tension cables to support lateral movements of transverse frames along the longitudinal direction. Tension cables are primarily anchored to the main anchoring structures strategically located at both ends of cabled pipe rack assembly. This structural assembly is a zero braced pipe rack completely eliminates pipe clashing issues to any bracing elements. This innovation have taken the structural benefits from a composite column made up of steel and concrete with a fully rigid connection at the base, and a fully welded joint connections of transverse beams and columns. The invention is a unique structural system seen as a suitable substitute to the conventional pipe rack.</p> |
