Seismic load
Seismic load
(OP)
Please refer to Page 144 ASCE-7-05 and attached sketch.
Seismic demands on non-structural components.
Q1. In eq 13.3-1, Z = 12 feet and h = 50 feet?
Q2. When I find out Fp.I divide it with two as tank has two legs and apply this seismic loads in proper combination to W steel beam?
Am I on track or totally wacked out?

RE: Seismic load
If the beam, tank and supports as shown are all there is to the arrangement, I think you need to refer to different sections of ASCE 7- look for the "non-building structures" section in particular.
