Description
This document shows the static analysis of the Spreader that
will be used for the lifting of the storage tank, on the
project Termotasajero 2 161.6 MW CFPP.
The spreader was fabricated with steel ASTM A36, assuming
complete weld penetration. The analysis is made with the
maximum load supported for the spreader: weight 41.5Ton.
The distribution of force used for the structure analysis is
due to the Storage Tank
