Conveyor Belts

(OP)
Any good resources on understanding the structure of conveyors, design, repair and inspection of them?

Thank you

RE: Conveyor Belts

Here, in the structural forum, you would need to limit the questions to the foundations, towers, and the "bridge" structural components "below the belt" supporting the extreme vibration and live loads ... The moving parts would be mechanical. Motors and controllers electrical-mechanical.

RE: Conveyor Belts

(OP)
Yes, I meant Structural engineering of conveyors : trusses, supports, connections, etc
Anything basic or more in details
Have not seen a book, article or reference on conveyor structures?

RE: Conveyor Belts

It isn't a design guide, but you might try looking at a copy of the ANSI/CEMA 402-03 standard. It gives a fair amount of information regarding the standards to apply to these types of structures. The rest is structural analysis and design detailing.
