wind loads
(OP)
A question about wind loading on a portable, vertical, cylindrical storage tank. The tank is NOT anchored and the concern is tipping of the empty tank due to wind forces.
I have calculated wind forces per ASCE 7-05, chapter 6, method 2.
Is this the maximum wind force the the tank would be expected to see or should this force (and the tank dead weight) be factored per load combination 6 in par 2.3.2?
thanks for your help.
