Note:

a.

This tank is designed as per API Std 650, Appendix S

b.

The tank bottom has to meet the minimum thickness requirement

given in para S.3.1 of design code.

c.

The Shell thickness is to be calculated per para S.3.2 of code and also
the minimum thickness shall satisfy para 3.6.1.1

d.

The roof plate shall be designed for dead load plus live load of 1.2kPa
Per para 3.10.2.1 & para 3.10.2.7

e.

tb =

Bottom plate resting on Members.

Thickness of bottom plate required
Where,
G = Specific gravity of stored product but not less than 1.

= 1.26

Hp = uniform loading on the bottom plate in N/mm2 due to maximum read of liquid in the tank
0.015 N/mm.
L = Length of bottom plate freely supported between suggestive beam in mm = 350.
St = Max. Allowable bending stress in plate in N/mm2 = 0.67*142.2=95.274 N/mm2.
Tb = 3*1.26*0.015*400 / 4*95
= 4.27 mm.
Thus the provided tank bottom thickness 6 mm is adequate.

LATERAL FORCE COEFFICENTS

= 0.804

When T>4.5,
Lateral force Coefficient,
C2

= 2.583

Where
S

THICKNESS OF THE BOTTOM PLATE UNDER THE SHELL & ITS RADIAL WIDTH
Bottom/Annular plate thickness, tb
= 6 mm
Thickness of bottom shell course, tbs
= 6 mm
Bottom/Annular plate radial width, wba
= 6 mm
Since tb
> greater of ( tbs, 6mm), therefore it is minimum radial width shall be met.
SHELL COMPRESSION
Wt. of tank and portion of the fixed roof supported by the shell, wt = 0.00117 N/mm
ANCHORED TANKS
Maximum longitudinal shell compression,
b

= wt+1.273.M/Dc

Since b/12tbs

= 1.188 N

< Fa, therefore the tank is structurally stable.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE SHELL COMPRESSION

A

= GHDc/tbs

Dc in m

= 0.22 m/mm

a) For GHDc/ (tbs) < 44m/mm,

Fa

= 83.tbs/2.5Dc+7.5{G.H}

= 93.53 N/mm

b) For GHDc/(tbs) > 44m/mm,

Fa = 83.tbs/Dc

= 0.23055 N/mm

Therefore, Fa (< 0.5Fty)

= 93.53 N/mm

Where
Fty = Min.Specified yield strength of the bottom shell course
