I am trying to create a 3D model that will represent a vessel with a...
With reference to vertical steel stacks or steel derricks. If there is only dead load and wind load, can you still use the 0.75 load reduction for the wind loads when using allowable stress design?
In the past we would calculate the wind loads(unfactored) and apply a 1/3 increase to the...
We are designing and supplying anchor bolts for a derrick and an elevated flare stack. We are not designing the foundation. Location is in Qatar (Middle East). No corrosion allowance has been incorporated in the design of the bolts. These bolts are 1" and 2" diameter A36 threaded rod...
