Tank Curb Angle
Tank Curb Angle
(OP)
Dear All,
I want to size a curb angle on a storage tank based on the tension caused because of the horizontal load of the roof rafters, yet API 650 does not address this. Can anybody advise how these calculations can be done?

RE: Tank Curb Angle
For designing for thrust, Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain has a load case for N equally-spaced outward forces applied to a circular beam.
