problem in the disigning a potable water tank
(OP)
Hi
I can disign a potable water tank with D=10 m and H=10 m and with rafter supported fixed cone roof (no girder and no column) and roof slope is 1:16. I want calculate the number and type of rafters that don't fail. Can you help me how do I calculate them? Can you introduce me any book for this problem?
Thanks

RE: problem in the disigning a potable water tank
- AISC will give you info on rafter design.
- The Strucutural Engineering Handbook has a method for designing the compression ring for roofs without center columns.
RE: problem in the disigning a potable water tank
The API 650 doesn't give more detail about rafter design.
Can you tell me which part of AISC gives information about rafters?
and I don't have The Strucutural Engineering Handbook, please give me the address of the Handbook that get it.
regards

Let me guess.....
Is this the first time you have designed structural steel for a storage tank ?
