The system consists of a horizontal duct and an exhaust stack, separated by a flexible expansion joint. The horizontal duct is 16.5 m long with a 9.6 m maximum height and a 4.5 m maximum width. The floor is elevated 0.94 m above the base. SCIA Engineer was used to carry out the structural analysis and design of the SCR duct casing (modelled using 2D plate elements) and the supporting framing system (modelled using 1D members). The duct is designed to be supported by nine moment resisting frames with eighteen short legs. The member-end fixity allows for free movement of short legs in the desired direction along the grade beams which represent the movement slot joints with slip membrane between the short legs and the top of the grade beams. 3D wind generator was used to generate the wind loads in accordance with the code. Linear analysis results of the Von Mises stress in the plate were checked against the capacity.
