BRACKET SUPPORT OR LUG

SUPPORT
1.

Maximum compressive load due to wind :

Pw = k p H Do
Where k = k1k2 = const.
Pw = wind pressure H - Hight of vessel

The main load on the bracket supports is the dead weight of the
vessel
With its contents & the wind load.
The max total compressive load on the supports is given by
P = (4Pw (H-F)/nDb) + ( W/n)
Where

P = total forces due to wind load acting on the vessel

H= height of the vessel above foundation
F = vessel clearance from foundation to vessel

botton
Db = dia of the bolt circle

W = max wt. of vessel with attachments and its

contents

Wmax = Ws + Wi + Wl + Wa

n = No. of brackets.
