Thank you both for the clarification.

Thanks. I'm not seeing Ch or Cv in ASCE 7. Can I find them anywhere else? So these values aren't calculated they are just tabulated according to location? I'm not necessarily looking for an exact value, but if I knew the range of values in the US, it would be helpful.

I am going through the seismic design calculations for a vessel with unbraced legs. The formula for the horizontal force at the CG of vessel is Fh=Ch*W. Similarly the formula for the vertical force at the CG of vessel is Fv=(1+Cv)*W. I cannot find how to calculate the values for Ch and Cv...

OK that makes sense. Thanks for your help.

But table 1-3 is in ASME Section VIII, Division 2. There it is called Table 5.9. So it has to be known by those who know the code well.

Thanks. The book doesn't specifically give any context. If you look at the fatigue screening criteria in Table 1-3 attached, all it says is integral construction vs non-integral construction.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=66b88f0c-310e-4120-9c64-8eacb882e3ec&file=Table_1-3.jpg

I saw the term in the Fatigue Analysis section of the Pressure Vessel Design Manual but I assume it's a general design criterion. There is a list of tips to eliminate or reduce stress risers: 1. Use integral construction 2. Avoid fillet welds 3. Avoid reinforcing pads ...etc.

I just started studying the Pressure Vessel Design Manual and it mentions different criteria for integral vs non-integral construction. What is the definition of integral construction?
