Skirt Opening/Access Reinforcement
Skirt Opening/Access Reinforcement
(OP)
Hi all
Would anybody please give me the design basis on the skirt access/opening reinforcement on vertical vessel ? How the reinforcement is calculated ? Any good reference material or book related to this topic ???? Thanks in advance.

Compute the cross-sectional area and sectional modulus of the remaining metal. You have to find the weakest cross-section and then apply the
force/area + moment / section modulus to get the stress in the section.
Btw, if you have PV Elite software you can analyze stress in vessel skirt due to multiple openings. But, if you follow basic engineering principles you should be able to do by hand as well.
