WIND GIRDERS IN A CONE ROOF
WIND GIRDERS IN A CONE ROOF
(OP)
Hello
Is it necessary a top wind girder and secondary wind girder for a cone roof tank with 7m of diameter and height of 11 m ? Or Are the wind girders only for open roof tanks ?

An intermediate wind girder is used if needed on either type, and omitted if not needed on either type. In a lot of cases, it is more economical to thicken the shell slightly if required than to install an intermediate wind girder.

I have another question. Does the attach ,of the body with the roof, required the use of a Angle beam?, and the function of that Angle beam is only for the attach or does it have another function?

In the current API-650, you're allowed to omit the top angle if the area furnished in that region matches that obtained with a top angle- see the wording in the top angle specification.
One other thing, I said the roof furnishes stability for the top of the shell- that's assuming a steel roof, an aluminum dome would still use a wind girder.
