Abstract

The article presents the results obtained during the inspection of the load-bearing structure of a power unit that suffered from fire. The inspection, consisting in the assessment of both the structure’s technical condition and durability of welded joints, was performed on seven height levels of the power unit. The vibration spectrum of the unit’s steel structure was analyzed, and frequency characteristics were, thus, obtained for individual measurement levels. Thermal vision measurements were also performed in the unit’s all connection points to check for possible unsealing of some elements in the boiler island of the inspected power unit. The next stage consisted of performing strength calculations of the steel structure with a goal to estimate the structure’s stress state. The conclusions contain suggestions for modernization of welded joints in order to maintain the power unit’s design strength.
