Jul 16, 2013 #4 JohnRBaker Mechanical Jun 1, 2006 37,227 It looks like this issue has already been discussed here on Eng-Tips: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=80463 As well as this discussion: http://hghouston.com/Resources/Disc...orumid/6/postid/2285/scope/posts/Default.aspx From these discussions, it would appear that API and ASME are competing standards.

Jul 16, 2013 Thread starter #5 amendale Structural May 25, 2011 52 I want to use the structural seismic forces for foundation design that are specified in Appendix E of API 650 for tanks. For the project they have specified the use of CSA B.51 and ASME Sec. VIII. Was wondering if I could justify using API 650. Upvote 0 Downvote
