I am trying to determine the stress induced by external attachments on large diameter tanks. In this case I have a 60' dia. x 30' tall tank. The shell plate at the elevation of interest is 3/16" thk. I need to attach a knee brace that will support a catwalk. How can I determine at what point do I need a repad, and then how do I determine what size the pad needs to be?
Any enlightenment will be appreciated!
