Vessel Support Design on 3 Saddles
Vessel Support Design on 3 Saddles
(OP)
Hi
I'm looking for proper design of a horizontal tank on 3 saddle supports. I'm familiar w/ LP Zick Analysis but that only gives design for two supports. Any help appreciated

Q's:
using the continuous beam theory ie) from AISC ASD Beam Design Formulas(pg.2-312) would you use the uniform load with 3 supports and add the overhang load to the outer ones and then tack on the 20-50% of result? Is there a simplified version to these support reactions? I can't seem to find any loading diagrams for this specific case.
Any ideas?
