Abstract

This project describes the design of a lift for LPG loading pipe in high buildings, its main aims are personal security of workers and to reduce work time for pipeline assembly. The device has been designed according to the provisions for allowable strenght design (ASD) method detailed in AISC 360-10 for the stresses generated by load combinations according to ASCE- 7 standard. One of the most important aspects is device´s weight because this affects directly the move from one place to another. The type of joints used between the main elements are bolted joints which have been designed considering the applicable limit states for each configuration, such that assembly and disassembly of the device takes place in the shortest possible time. It includes an unit price analysis for the manufacture of the lift.
