Tall Tower Inlet Scrubber Settlement

[MIMFFS]

Does anyone know where to find guidlines for settlement surveys on pressure vessels or Tall towers??

Maybe no one knows???????

I was going to suggest moving this to forum 404 (mechanical engineering other topics)

Then I remembered I'd seen a thread on this topic not too long ago. I did a keyword search on "settlement" and up came thread404-180091.

Quoting from the last entry there:

API-653 has criteria for evaluating settlement of tanks

Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of the Eng-Tips Forums.

This is a Civil Engineering issue and I doubt you will find any "real" help here in a Mechanical Engineering forum. I suggest you phone contact or hire a civil/structural engineer to address this issue for you. I work with a few and I know this is their expertise.

I hate to have to think about why you have to deal with settlement issue for a pressure vessel. This can't be good.

Good luck.
