Comparative Analysis of Calculations Models for Steel Gantry in the Substations of Overseas Projects in Chinese Standard and American Standard
As for the structure design of steel gantry in the substations of overseas projects,American standards are mostly used.This paper makes calculations in accordance with the requirements of Chinese standards and American standards respectively on the steel gantry for 400kV distribution system in the 400kV substation via the international general structural analysis and design program STAAD,taking the load and combination of steel gantry,material strength,calculation length,specification inspection and other factors into consideration.The comparative analysis of the amount of steel required for the frame beam and column of steel gantry based on the calculation results according to Chinese standards and American standards are also made.
