The anchoring system

• Upper side – base plate

• Drilled holes

• Threaded rods

• Expandable anchors

• Nuts – wire ends

• Anchoring system –

Applied – sealed

Study of variants

Variants:

1) Existing anchoring system, mounted on a steel roof

2) Afterwards insulated holes

3) Isolation of the nuts in relation to the base plate

4) Afterwards insulated nuts by filling the holes

5) Thermal insulation of the folding steel anchors

Comparison Comsol with mock-up results:

1) Thermal images - quite lookalike

2) Quantitative results - differ

Temperature ratio’s and heat loss

• Vertically mounted roof system – climate cabinet

Horizontal roof system

• Rc differ: mock-up and simulation
