TANK ROOFS
(OP)
I AM SEARCHING FOR SOME OPTIMIZATION RESULTS FOR FIXED TANK ROOFS WITH PYLONS FOR TANKS D>80 m
I AM USING API 650 AND EC3 CODES.
I FOUND A SOLUTION
BUT I NEED TO FIND MORE FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE MY DESIGN
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I did not want to be rude.
Sorry
I have designed some cone roofs for tanks with pylons.
The recent one in D=85 m. The material is S275 or St-44 EN10025.
What i am searching for is for publications or a parametric analysis that can give me information about the variation in construction and material cost of a roof for different kinds of designs.
I am trying to build an optimizer and link it with NASTRAN and SAAP 2000. For this reason i need to form my objective function which means ecomonic an strength criteria.
So previous experience will be great help for me.
