Loads on conveyor support structures
Loads on conveyor support structures
(OP)
I need to check some existing trusses supporting a belt conveyor.
I assume that the static vertical load would be factored to allow for some dynamic effects from the belt. Can anyone advise on typical dynamic factors?
Secondly, are there any significant longitudinal forces on the supporting structure due to the belt that should be considered?
Thanks, John

I haven't yet started the analysis but I understand that the belt tension loads are taken by the towers at the ends in my case.
I was wondering if there are other longitudinal forces due to the belt running.
I have located the CEMA publication in one of our libraries so I'll look through that once it arrives.
