Currently I am designing a steel structure for a furnace around 7m x 7m x 4m. The whole structure is fixed to a concrete slab and the outer surfaces reach a temperature around 50 Celsius with a heat convection of 10 W/m2-C with air. The roof of the structure is bearing a load around 6 ton distributed over all the surfaces. Without the thermal effects the structure is strong enough to withstand with the roof loads, but when I include the thermal phenomena the Von Mises stress just increase a lot, specially in the anchoring base plates of the structure.
May you give me some advices or recommend me some lectures or sources to look for strategies to avoid those stress concentrations due to temperature in baseplates when you have a complete fixed condition?.
