JStephen (Mechanical),
Actually that is an API 620 Tank only. But as per some clause from API 620 , they need to calculate the Uplift as per API 650.
P is the Maximum Design Pressure = 0.07747 MPa. ( something around 11.236 psi ).
In addition to Clause 5.12.13 we need check as per...
Hi,
I am in need to design the Foundation for a API Tank. The Uplift force calculated for that tank is too heavy.The details as follows.
1. Empty Load = 11,000 kg
2. Test Load = 95,750 kg
3. uplift = 119,000 kg
4. Tank Dia = 4.5 m
5. Tank Height = 5.2m
And I was informed that , the...
Hi,
I have a doubt in the Steel Piperack design. The pipes are resting over the Top flage of the beam & the Lateral Load is perpendicular to the steel beam. Since it is in the Top flange , It will create the torsion to that beam.
One of my Colleague says , To take care of this issue, we need...
Hi csd72 ,
The existing structure is a Process structure. And the new one is also a process structure. In the existing structure so many sensitive equipments are there. because of that , we are forced not to transfer the lateral loads either direction.
As per the Client's requirement , I need not to transfer the lateral forces to the existing building.
I need to insure full movement in both mutually perpendicular axes NS/EW at interface connection to the existing Building.
Hi,
I am in need to connect a new steel structure to an Existing steel structure with a beam. But the beam hast to transfer only the Gravity Force not the Lateral force.
I have to choose the slooted hole connection. But I am not aware of the Slotted hole connection in both the lateral...
