Stability of Tank Shell against External Loads.

As per Clause 6.3.3.6, Page 23 of IS 803, Stability of tank shell against external loads shall be checked by determining the maximum height of the
shell from the top curb angle or wind girder that does not buckle under external loading i.e., wind pressure and internal vacuum as follows,
Hg=1500t/p x (t/D)3/2
Where,
Hg = Vertical distance between the intermediate wind girder and top angle of the shell

DESIGN OF WIND GIRDER

As per clause 6.3.3.6 of IS:803, the Required minimum section modulus of wind girder
shall be determined by the formula;
Z=0.059 D2Hg X P / 150,Where
Z=Section Modulus in cm3
D= Normal Diameter of tank in M
Hg=Vertical distance between the intermediate wind grider and Top curb angle of shell
in Mtr.
P= Sum Of all external pressure acting on the tank shell i.e., design wind pressure &
internal vaccume in kg/m2
Therefore, Z
Now, consider one wind girder to be provided(shell Thickness, as per detail
