HTURKAK,
I believe my questions are clear (we are engineers not lawyers).
- why requirements in API 620 differ from API 650 (in this specific point regarding sliding resistance)?
- When this requirement cannot be met, V > Vs, any solutions other than adjusting H/D and/or adding seismic...
Thank you both for your feedback.
HTURKAK, not sure what you mean by this is not true. API 650 allows V to exceed Vs for anchored tanks, of course anchorage shall be checked to be sufficient. API 620 does not allow V to exceed Vs, regardless of anchorage...
IFRs,
Indeed that is my question, why...
Thank you IFRs.
Indeed that is the procedure according to API 650, also ASCE 7-16 § part 15. However, if you read API 620 appendix L you will find the following:
"The tank system, whether self-anchored or mechanically-anchored, shall be configured such that the overall horizontal shear force at...
Dear community,
First post here...
Doing some reading on ASCE 7-16, API 650 and API 620 seismic design requirements. It seems that sliding resistance, for API 620 (§L3.3.3) tanks, shall be checked regardless of anchorage while API 650 and ASCE 7-16 only requires this check to be performed for...
