    Agitator dynamic loads on tanks

    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.

    Agitator dynamic loads on tanks

    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...

    Help with API650 - 3.11 - Wind load on tanks

    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...

    Help with API650 - 3.11 - Wind load on tanks

    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?

    Help with API650 - 3.11 - Wind load on tanks

    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)...
