CALCULATION

1. DESIGN DATA TO BE COLLECTED AS PER DATA SHEET

2. MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION

Materials are selected for the following

 Shell/Bottom/Roof Plate
 Roof Structure/Curb Angle
 Nozzles
 Flanges
 Bolting For Nozzles
 Bolting for Structures
 Wind Girder

Plate specification and Minimum Yield strength, Minimum Tensile Strength


and Product Design Stress are selected from Table 5.6.2 for the shell plates.

3. SHELL DESIGN CALCULATION


Allowable Stress for Shell in Design Condition

Sd = 2/3*Ys*Fy where Ys = Min. yield stress


Fy = Yield stress reduction factor
Sd = 2/5*UTS UTS= Ultimate tensile
sterength

Sd = Table 5.2

Three values of Sd are got and the least value is taken as Sd

• Allowable Stress For Shell in Hydrostatic Test Condition

St = 3/4*Ys*Fy

St = 3/7*UTS

St = Table 5.2

Three values of St are got and the least value is taken as St


4. Shell Thickness Calculation

• One foot Method

The 1-foot method calculates the thicknesses required at design points 0.3 m
(1 ft) above the bottom of each shell course. This method shall not be used
for tanks larger than 60 m (200 ft) in diameter.

4.9 x D x (H - 0.3) x G
td = ---------------------------------- + C.A.
Sd

4.9 x D x (H - 0.3)
tt = ------------------------------
St

Where,

td = Design Shell Thickness in mm


tt = Hydrostatic Test Shell Thickness in mm
H = Design Liquid Height as per Cl. 5.6.3.2

Minimum required shell thickness is selected from the table 5.6.1.1

Thickness of each shell course is calculated using above formulae. The


thickness calculated must be greater than minimum thickness taken from the
table 5.6.3.2

Thickness of each shell course is tabulated.


5. ANNULAR PLATE

• Radial Width of annular plate

Annular bottom plates shall have a radial width that provides


at least 600 mm

Therefore min required radial width = Projection outside the shell


+Bottom plate
Thickness+ Lap of bottom plate
(Refer 5.5.2)

Check for min. width of Annular Plate


In SI units:

Where
tb = thickness of the annular plate (see 5.5.3), in mm,
H = maximum design liquid level (see 5.6.3.2), in m,
G = design specific gravity of the liquid to be stored.

• Thickness of annular plate

Minimum thickness of the bottom plate is 6mm as per 5.4.1 (Excluding the
corrosion allowance)

Hydrostatic test stress in the lowest course Sth is calculated. As per Sth
value thickness of the annular plate is checked with Table 5.1

6. Bottom Plate
As per API 650 5.4.1, the minimum required thickness shall be 6 mm + C.A.
All rectangular and sketch plates shall have a minimum nominal width of
1800 mm (72 in.)

Tank bottoms requiring sloping shall have a minimum slope of 1:120


upwards toward center of the tank.

7. Design of Roof Plate Thickness:


As per API 650 5.10.2.2, the minimum nominal thickness shall be 5 mm +
C.A.

Roof Slope / Angle 1 : 100

8. Sizing of Top Curb Angle


As per API 650 5.1.5.9.e, min. curb angle of size is L 76 X 76 X 6.4 THK.

9. Top Wind girder

The Top Wind Girder is provided at: 1100 mm From Top Curb Angle as per
5.9.4

As per API 650, 3.9.6 the required min. section modulus is,

H2 = Height of Tank Shell


Vz=Design wind velocity
C = A(1)*Y(1) + A(2)*Y(2) + A(3)*Y(3)
------------------------------------------------
A(1)+A(2)+A(3)

I= BD^3 +AY^2
-------

Z =I/Ymax

Zprovided > Zreqd.

10. Intermediate Wind Girder

Transformed width of each shell stake is given by

Where,

Wtr = transposed width of each shell course, mm (in.),


W = actual width of each shell course, mm (in.),
tuniform = as ordered thickness, unless otherwise specified, of the top
shell course, mm (in.),
tactual = as ordered thickness, unless otherwise specified, of the shell
course for which the transposed width is being calculated, mm (in.).

The values are tabulated as follows

The Cumm Wtr gives the Transformed Width Htr

As per API 650 5.9.7.1, the maximum height of the unstiffened shell H1 is

If Htr > H1 then intermediate wind girder must be provided

The section modulus of the intermediate wind girder shall be based on the
properties of the attached members and may include a portion of the tank
shell for a distance above and below the attachment to the shell, in mm (in.)

In SI units
11. WEIGHT CALCULATION

Calculate Weight for each and every part of the tank

12. WIND ANALYSIS

Basic Wind Pressure on cylinder (Pcy) = P*Hc

Basic Wind Pressure on roof (Pr) =P*Hc

Hc = (v/160) ^2

(The value of P is given below)

(Refer 5.2.1 The design wind pressure shall be 0.86 kPa (V/190)^2,
([18lbf/ft2][V/120]^2) on vertical projected areas of cylindrical surfaces and
1.44 kPa (V/190)^2, ([30lbf/ft2][V/120]^2) uplift on horizontal projected
areas of conical or doubly curved surfaces, where V is the 3-sec gust
windspeed.)

Wind load on cylinder section (Fcyl) =Dw *H*Pcy

Wind load on the roof section (Fr) =Ac*pr

Where
Dw = effective tank diameter
H = height of the tank
Ac =Effective cone area

Resultant wind load F =Fcyl+Fc

Resultant Moment M = F*Z + Fr*(H+Hd/3)


Hd=Dome height

Effective wind load on tank Fe =1.1*F

Effective wind moment on the base Me=1.1*M

13. Check For Over Turning Due To Wind

Overturning wind moment = Me

Wt of shell + wt of roof +wt of plate =W1

Force due to internal pressure =W2

Wt available to resist uplift (W) = W1-W2

Two third of the dead load resisting moment= 2/3 * (W*D/2)

14. CALCULATION FOR SESMIC MOMENT FOR


OPERATING CONDITION

Find form factor (K) from Fig E-4

Find effective mass of the contents from Fig E-2 (W1/Wt and W2/Wt)

Find effective centroid of seismic force from Fig E-3 (X1/H and X2/H)

Over turning at the base of the tank

15. CHECK FOR OVERTURNING DUE TO SESMIC MOMENT


Max weight of the tank content resisting overturning moment is
Wl = 99*tb*(Fby*G*H)

How ever overturning moment Wl should not exceed 196GHD

Where
tb= Thickness of the bottom plate
Fby= Yield Strength of the bottom plate
