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:
- The main structure influence coefficient must be considered when built on the top of a building
- Seismic verification of the foundation must be carried out
- 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
