Thank you. There's several things in AS2304 that are less than clear.

HTURKAK, here you are, Australia uses metric units.

In AWWA D103, Sec. 14.3 Seismic Design Loads H = distance from bottom of shell to MOL in feet (m) What does MOL mean? From comparison with API 650 I think it is the maximum water water level, so Max Operating Level perhaps?

Have you tried the Draftsight community forum?

I think what you want is AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 APPENDIX B USE OF TEST DATA FOR DESIGN

I am puzzled by this. P1 and P2 are referred to as pressure components but the units are kN/m height. How is PT converted to hoop tension? Referring to AWWA D103 it would appear that this is the hoop tension and hence the stress will be PT/t . If this is so then it should read; P1 =...

Here's my solution using normal functions. No macro required. My approach is to first divide it into bite size pieces, so I deal with each level separately and combine those into the final result. It's easier to debug this way. I have used two columns to find the text for Level1. You can go back...

"How can i Ensure that the weld meets the required mechanical strength and ductility criteria" Now that's a different question. The mechanical properties should be on the data sheet for the wire you have in stock. Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang...

I agree with those who suggest using slip critical bolts throughout. For galvanized steel the coefficient of friction should be taken as 0.175, half that of bare steel 0.35. Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang

Even if BHP was producing 300+ at the time you don't know when that particular piece of steel was made, It could have been G250 in stock. Assume it's grade 250 and move on. Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang Ooo eee ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang

Are you using Tekla? Have you tied Tekla User Assistance? Usual practice, supported by long experience, is for the connection to be made in the rafter. As a structural engineer I say the detailing is a disaster. Can you discuss this with an experienced structural engineer? Ooo eee ooo ah ah...
