99-02: Diagonal Bracing Connections in Fiberglass Cooling Towers Analysis Method Development of the new chemistry

Development of the new chemistry for treatment of chilled water

Numerous technical and economic advantages would occur if such predictive data were available

Owners must give special consideration to the specifications of the fire wall system they are requesting for their cooling towers

These alternate tube designs were analyzed under a variety of flow conditions in controlled settings

especially with partially built structures

99-02: Diagonal Bracing Connections in Fiberglass Cooling Towers Analysis Method Development of the new chemistryThis paper investigates typical connections of diagonal braces in fiberglass cooling towers. These connections are typically accomplished using mechanical fasteners and or structural adhesives. Different combinations of mechanical fasteners and or adhesive joints will be presented with a comparative study showing full scale test results.
