Cooling Tower Structural Analysis.  If you are in doubt about the soundness of the structure of your cooling tower, then a thorough inspection and structural analysis may be called for. Cooling tower structures can be damaged by high wind, vibration, biological or chemical attack, seismic event or age.  The strength of structural members in a cooling tower decreases with prolonged exposure to hot water. The software we use analyzes the cooling tower when all of the load combinations of dead load, live load and wind loads are applied.  The stress and deflection on every member and joint in the tower is calculated and analyzed.  The Registered Professional Civil Engineers, who perform the structural analysis of cooling tower structures, have many years of experience with wood, concrete, and fiberglass cooling tower structures.
