API 650 , Section 5
API 650 , Section 5
(OP)
Hi,
The code API 650, didn't mention how to calculate allowable stress in case of platforms, walkways and stairways, does this mean that we don't need to calculate it when preparing a calculation note for a storage tank ????
Thank you in advance

RE: API 650 , Section 5
API is mostly concerned with the cylindrical tank. Structure other than the tank would need to follow other codes, OSHA, ASCE, AISC, good engineering judgment, etc.
