Introduction

Analysis of core requirements of the standard

Technical dimensions QX/T588-2020 requirements Comparison with GB50135-2019 Key differences
Design reference period 50 years 30-50 years Use upper limit standard
Structural form Self-supporting space truss Unrestricted form Explicitly prohibit guyed towers
Displacement control H/300 H/250 20% accuracy improvement

Key technologies for structural design

The standard requires that the steel tower adopt a polygonal space truss structure with an even number of sides, and the axis of the rods must intersect at the node. In actual projects, it is recommended to use a regular octagonal section, which has a wind load coefficient that is about 15% lower than that of a hexagonal section.

Case Study of Radar Tower on Chongming Island, Shanghai

A steel tower project of a C-band dual polarization radar was designed using this standard:

  • Tower height 45m, foundation depth 8m
  • Q355B steel material, node bolts grade 10.9
  • The measured first-order frequency is 1.25Hz, which meets the requirement of >1Hz

Key points of seismic design

The standard stipulates that the seismic fortification category is generally Class C, but it should be noted that:

  1. The main structure influence coefficient must be considered when built on the top of a building
  2. Seismic verification of the foundation must be carried out
  3. Performance-based design refers to Chapter 17 of GB50017

Special requirements for construction acceptance

Phase Control indicators Detection method
Pre-assembly Node gap≤2mm 3D laser scanning
Installation Verticality≤H/1500 Total station measurement
Acceptance Azimuth deviation<0.125° Radar calibration test

Implementation suggestions

Design stage

It is recommended to adopt BIM collaborative design, and focus on checking:

  • Fatigue performance of the platform support structure and column connection nodes
  • Electromagnetic compatibility of strong and weak current spacing in the power well

Construction phase

Wind-induced vibration monitoring must be carried out, and high-altitude operations should be suspended when the wind speed is greater than 10m/s. It is recommended to adopt:

  • Tower crane attached climbing system
  • Modular segmented lifting process
