Compress - Wind inputs
(OP)
Hi, Just want to know about " increased effective OD" inputs, if all the attachments such as Piping, insulation and platform are already attached, did Compress automatically consider the "increase effective OD"?
How to know the value for "increase effective OD"
Thanks

Often, the owner's vessel specification will dictate what values to use for increase in effective diameter. A number of standard reference books for vessel design also indicate "good" values in order to account for nozzles and minor attachments to the vessel.

The method used for this "automatic" check for the platform comes from the ASCE publication "Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities".
