API 650 Annex F.4.2 - Maximum design pressure limited by uplift
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yes I have found the wind pressure and velocity in 5.2.1.k. But isn't there a formula for the wind moment? I can't seem to find the Free Body Diagram that you mention? Figure 5.27 (page 5-94) only shows the Overturning Check for Uanchored Tanks. I am not sure I...- SGlinvad

API 650 Annex F.4.2 - Maximum design pressure limited by uplift
Hi, I have a question about calculating the maximum design pressure for unanchored tanks limited by uplift at the base of the shell. in API 650 Annex F.4.2 the equation is given by: Pmax = (0.000849*DLs/D2) + (0.00127*DLR/D2) - (0.00153*Mw/D3) My problem is that I'm not able to figure out how...- SGlinvad
