From the selection, applications, and properties of various structural materials to the maintenance examination of existing duct systems, this committee report reviews the structural analysis and design of air and flue-gas ductwork for power stations and large industrial boiler applications. Written by and for structural and mechanical engineers, the book begins with an overview of major ductwork equipment, ductwork arrangement and behavior such as thermal expansion, internal trusses and struts, and the effects of the arrangement on loads. Plate design and stiffener location; drawing, fabrication, and construction techniques; the affects of insulation and lagging on the structural design of ducts are among the issues addressed. Booknews A committee report reviewing the structural analysis and design of air and flue-gas ductwork for power stations and large industrial boiler applications, covering the entire design process, from the selection, applications, and properties of various materials to the maintenance of existing systems. Topics include ductwork arrangement and behavior, loading combinations and associated design stress, plate and structural element design, insulation, and drawing, fabrication, and construction techniques. Includes b&w diagrams. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
