Mar 13, 2022 #1 Doodler3D Mechanical Jan 20, 2020 188 1 16 US Hi, Referencing ASCE 7-16: Is Chapter 29 the prescribed method to evaluate wind loads on square steel tanks? Alternatively, does a square/rectangular tank behave like an enclosed building and hence is chapter 29 less conservative? Thank you

If square tank , you may use the coeff. at FIGURE 29.4-1 . If the tank is not open roof tank, yes.. chapter 29 is not less conservative . Upvote 0 Downvote
