 INTRODUCTION:
1.1 SCOPE OF DESIGN:
This report is prepared for the design calculations of the GRP ROOF IN GRAVITY FILTERS TANK which
is part of the STP of JUBAIL DESALINATION PLANT PHASE 2.

The system consists of composite GRP TRIPLE BARREL RESTING ON A BIG BARREL.

1.2 SOFTWARE USED:

STAADPRO ADVANCED CONNECT Edition V22
Auto Cad 2024

1.3 MATERIAL OF DESIGN:

GRP Fiberglass:
Young’s Modules, E= 1.8 x 10+0 kg/m2

Poisson’s Ratio, υ = 0.33

Density, γ = 1937.46 kg/m 3

Thermal Coff. Α = 8x10-6 1/C

1.4 REFERENCE DRAWINGS:

1.5 LOADS:
1-7-1 DEAD LOAD
Self-weight of GRP ROOF, Calculated by
software. Thickness ROOF = 6mm

1-7-1 Live LOAD

2.5 KN/M2 to be distributed above the location of the supports.

1-7-2 TEMPERATURE LOAD

To be considered as 20 C in the temperature difference.

1-7-3 Load Combination according to SBC 301:
1,4 D
1,2 D + 1.6LL +1.2 TL
1.2D + 1.0LL
1.2D
0.9D
Definitions:
D = Dead loads
L= Live Load
T = Temperature loads

 2.3 GRP ROOF DESIGN – ALOWABLE STRESS CHECK
By considering Tresca ( Top & Bot.) stress for the worst combination

Figure 6: Tresca Top under Service Load.

Max VALUE = 55.8 MPa

JUBAIL,DAMMAM– Desalination Plant phase 2 – Rev 0.0

 Figure 7: Tresca bottom under Service Load
Max stress value = 59.6
MPa

. Both values less than allowable value 210Mpa – design is OK and satisfied

 2.4 DEFLECTION CHECK:
From Staad pro by considering all types of loads the values of deflection will
be as the following.

Figure 8: Deflection under service load

Max value of the deflection in Y direction at node (39190) =

17.23mm

CONCLUSION:

THE DEFLECTION ABOVE AT THE NODE 39190 IS LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DEFLECTION
WHICH IS L/13650, 1900/13650= 62.5mm. SO, THE DEFLECTION IS BELOW THAN THE MAXIMUM.
AN ADDITIONAL STIFFENER WAS ADDED TO THE BIG BARREL TO RESTRAIN IT FROM BUCKLING AND
ITS FIXED FROM SIDE TO SIDE, WITH A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 3 GRP STIFFENERS.

IN CONCLUSION THE WHOLE DESIGN IS SAFE.
