Steel door design

The thickness of the glass door may have to be increased for protection against radiation fall-out. One possibility is a steel-concrete sandwich construction. One possible steel door design is given in Fig. 9.13 or z = 0.95(242) = 229.9 mm 230 mm... 

Storage and Security Each stockpile is stored in a chemical exclusion area at each installation. Most of the stockpile is kept on pallets, in boxes, in cans, or is stored individually in igloos specifically designed for ammunition and explosives. The igloos have lightning protection systems and steel doors, and they are covered with earth. They are equipped with multiple locking systems. 

Construction of Sulfur Building. A 10 X 20-ft building was designed to be constructed of commercial cinder block and consisted of two rooms divided by a cinder block wall. The building was erected on a concrete slab. The first course of block was laid and leveled on the slab. It was then bonded to the slab by pouring about 1/2 in. of the molten formulation into each block as shown in Figure 1. Then more cinder blocks were stacked to form the four walls (Figure 2). Because commercial cinder blocks are not perfectly square, it was necessary after the fourth course of block was laid to splash some of the molten formulation inside the blocks to keep the courses level and to stabilize the walls. At this point, the steel door frames were inserted into the walls. 

Rolling steel doors. These are of the interlocking steel slat design or plate-steel construction. 

Quadraxially oriented (four directional layer) glass fabric-TS vinyl ester polyester RP sheet panels with a foam core and gel coating are used. Most of the panels are 3 mm thick with molded-in rib structure supports. Body skins are bonded to the chassis with a double-stick acrylic tape developed by 3M Co. as well as mechanical fasteners. Unlike most steel designs, no B-pillar structural component between the front and rear doors is required thus providing more interior space and easy entry since doors open in opposite directions. 

Applications for structural steel in blast resistant design include beams and columns for the support of vertical loads, braced and rigid frames for the support of vertical and horizontal loads, and specialized elements such as doors, window frames, decking, and protection for duct openings. For lower blast loads, steel siding can be used. 

The maximum value of w is fixed by the design requirements that the door pillar does not obstruct vision and the sill does not obstruct entry. In a beam of constant mass, t is inversely proportional to the material density. Hence, the selection parameter for bending stiffness is E/p steel and aluminium have high values (Table 13.1), so are used in preference to SMC or thermoplastics. 

The designed barrier door is 200 cm long and 200 cm high and 6 cm thick, and consists of three layers—porous metal plate and foam ceramics and porous metal plate. According to the natural and fixed attribute of material itself, elastic modulus is 72Gpa and Poisson Ratio is 0.226. The elastic modulus and Poisson Ratio of metal plate is 206Gpa and 0.3, which is close to steel. 

The dryer enclosure is typically constructed of a steel frame with insulated panels and doors. The enclosure must contain the hot air and resist corrosion. Dryers that will be used for human food drying to dry corrosive products or which will be washed down with water typically have a stainless steel enclosure. A properly designed dryer enclosure will allow thorough and easy access into the enclosure for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance.
