Load tabulation for pressure vessel
Load tabulation for pressure vessel
(OP)
I am at concept design phase for the foundation of a pressure vessel (low pressure). The base is 60 inches in diameter. The tank is indoors and there are no lateral loads.
What minimum information should I expect the tank designer to provide so that I can design the foundations properly? For metal buildings I would expect base plate details, diameter and spec of the anchor rods, and a tabulation of the loads transmitted through the base plate(s). From the attached screen shot you can see that the designer has only indicated that the total weight is 14,500 lbs, whatever that means. Maybe I am over-complicating things but I don't feel that this is adequate and I would like to know what I should expect. How much is DL? How much is LL? Can the loads be transmitted through bolts only or must the base be grouted?
Thanks in advance.
