Thanks JStephen.
But refering to your last phrase, the mixer it's attached to the tank roof by a mounting flange, of course, with the needed reinforcements.
Hi,
I'm designing a tank, and after doing all the calculations following API 650, the tank doesn't need anchorage. Everything fine for me.
When I delivered the calculation report to my client's consulting company, they made a lot of questions about the fact of not having anchor bolts, that I...
Sorry, but maybe I didn't explained myself very well.
Forget the "Overturning" term I used, I'm only talking about sliding.
The overturning issue it's already taken care of, and I agree with you, I didn´t consider the floor when calculating overturning.
So...
Thanks! That really helped.
Can you just tell me if I should consider also 2/3.
Like this:
MaxOverturningMomentwithoutAnch.=2/3x((Wtank+Wfloor+Wroof)xD/2)
And then compare this to:
OverturningMomentfromWindPress.=Wind PressurexDxH/2
Did I understood it right?
Hi,
I'm calculating a storage tank, of D=13,5m and H=10,85m.
When calculating wind load on tanks (overturning stability), section 3.11, I've followed all the steps in this section and reached the conclusion of no need for anchorage, because M<2/3x(WxD/2).
Now, I really don't know (understand)...
