I am working on a 150' diameter, 40' tall fixed roof oil storage tank. The roof structure consists of W12 girders, forming an octagon in the middle of the tank radius. W12 rafters bear on the girders in a radial pattern, with steel plate bearing on the rafters.
Does API require the plate be welded to the rafters?
