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...
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?
