Steel Roof Tank Modification
Steel Roof Tank Modification
(OP)
Hi there!
My client is asking me to replace an existing square shaped manhole at the top of a flat steel roof tank, with a new circular steel flanges. The steel flanges weigh more than the manhole.
Does anyone has any idea how I should go about analysing the roof tank steel plate capacity?
I'm having a crash course on Roark's methods:)
Thanks!
