    API 650 Closed Tanks

    Sir HTURKAK Yes, it is fixed roof. For top curb angle, can I use double angle and form it like a channel? Or can I use Channel diectly. Because minimum required participating area is larger than the area provide by shell, roof plate, and angle. Thank you.

    Wooden stairs with handrail dead load

    Nope, Sir hotmailbox, he is the draftsman and feeling architect. I'm the engineer here and don't have the power to tell the size if treads. That is true. Because of ego. I'm 27yrs old and he is 58yrs old. But no age for professional. That's why I laugh hard hahaha. He acts like a boss hahaha.
