We are currently designing a horizontal pressure vessel 20’ diameter X 191’ long. We are designing this vessel to rest on two saddle supports. A fixed, and a sliding saddle.

On the sliding saddle side, we are contemplating if we are to allow for slotted holes for thermal expansion or should we just have the sliding saddle rest on the concrete plinth without any guiding anchors?

I would appreciate your assistance,
