All,
Can someone help me with the units defining the design external pressure? I am using Mathcad, and plugging in directly (Psi = 2.5, HTS = 1.97m, D = 1.97m, tmin = 6mm, E = 200GPa) I get an anwer of .236Pa. However, I noticed in the nomenclature that E is defined in MPa and tmin in mm...
API states, “An allowable tensile stress for anchor bolts and straps equal to 80% of the published minimum yield stress.” (paragraph after equation E.6.2.1.2-2). Currently, the sheet I worked up uses the anchor bolt sizing from AISC, which puts a safety factor of Ω = 2 and uses 75% of the...
