60ft (18m) Span Fixed Tube Half Wall: Structural Enhancement for Container-Based Shelters
Technical Specifications
- Span: 60 feet (18 meters)
- Primary Structure: Galvanised tube with bolt connection
- Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel
- Compatibility: Adaptable to front or rear of container dome shelters
Structural Design
The half wall consists of a steel tube frame, enhancing its load-bearing capacity and structural integrity. This design provides:
- Enhanced stability under variable wind loads
- Improved distribution of static and dynamic loads
Material Properties
Made from hot-dip galvanized steel tubing, the structure offers:
- High tensile strength-to-weight ratio
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Prolonged service life in diverse environmental conditions
Wind Load Characteristics
- Designed to withstand region-specific wind loads of up to 180kmph (whole shelter)
Integration with Container Systems
- Modular design allows for seamless integration with general purpose of high cube shipping containers
- Attachment points engineered for optimal load transfer
- Entry and exit clearance height: Approximately 4.3m (varies with container type)
Structural Advantages
- Load Path Continuity: Engineered connections ensure efficient load transfer from the half wall to the container structure and foundation.
- Deflection Control: The use of steel tubing minimizes deflection under design loads, maintaining structural integrity whilst retaining visual esthetics.
Performance Enhancements
- Wind Mitigation: The smaller surface area reduces wind pressure coefficients, enhancing overall structure stability.
- Thermal Considerations: The half wall design allows for natural ventilation, potentially reducing heat buildup within the shelter.
Fabrication and Assembly
- Modular components designed for quick and easy on-site assembly
- Bolted connections for ease of installation and potential future adjustment and modifications
- Pre-engineered sections to minimise onsite welding requirements
Compliance and Certification
- Designed in accordance with Australian Standards AS/NZS 1170.1 – 2011
This 60ft (18m) span fixed tube half wall represents a structurally sound and engineered solution for enhancing container-based shelter systems, offering a balance of strength, durability, and functional design.
Half walls are also designed to fit a post-mounted shelter, and although this is one of the larger half walls we supply, they can be fitted to the front of rear of a post-mounted shelter.
