design of lifting lugs for horizontal tank
design of lifting lugs for horizontal tank
(OP)
Hello
I am designing a gasoil under grounde storage tank, I need to design adequat lifting lugs, I am mainly concerned with the tank behavior when lifted (tank weight) and ofcourse the behavior of lifting lugs,
Is there a code that could help in this calculation
NB: tank is empty when lifted
thank you

RE: design of lifting lugs for horizontal tank
In addition to the design of the lug-shell interface, you will need to design the weld to have adequate strength and the lug itself for tension, shear, and bearing. The procedure I use for these items is in Chapter J of AISC 360.
