Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a turbine external compartment, a frame for a turbine external compartment, and a method of constructing a frame for a turbine external compartment that can improve a flow of steam inside of the compartment and can enhance the rigidity of the compartment using a simple structure. A turbine external compartment according to the present invention is placed in a frame having a steel-plate reinforced concrete structure obtained by filling a space between a plurality of steel plates with concrete. The turbine external compartment includes a lower half part having a side plate part or an end plate part made of the steel plates that constitute the frame.

Claims (8)

1. A turbine external compartment that is placed in a frame having a steel-plate reinforced concrete structure obtained by filling a space between a plurality of steel plates with concrete, the turbine external compartment comprising:

a lower half part having a pair of side plates and a pair of end plates; and

an internal reinforcement rib having an upper part for supporting a turbine internal compartment,

wherein the internal reinforcement rib is provided between the pair of side plates,

wherein at least one of the pair of side plates and the pair of end plates are made of the steel plates of the frame, and

wherein the internal reinforcement rib is coupled to the pair of side plates.

2. The turbine external compartment according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an adjustment member provided on the internal reinforcement rib, for adjusting a vertical position of the turbine internal compartment.
