Industrial Steel Pipe Rack

Pipe racks are non-conventional structures that are typically utilized in refineries, chemical, power, and petrochemical plants. The proposed pipe rack for Fluor Corporation was designed to support power cables, pipes, cable trays, an air cooler exchanger, and a platform for air cooler maintenance. According to ASCE 7-16, pipe racks are non-building structures that are similar to buildings. As a result, typical design requirements found in building codes may not apply to this structure.
