HEURISTICS
T-1203
From table 11.13 heuristics for tower.
Rule 9 :- A safety factor of 10% of the number of trays calculated by the best means is advisable.

Rule 14:- Limit the tower height to about 53m (175ft) max. because of wind load and foundation
consideration. An additional criterion is that L/D be less than 30 (20< L/D< 30 often will require
special design.)
L= 27.3m
D= 0.90m
L/D=30.333
From table 11.14 heuristics for trays
Rule 1:- For reasons of accessibility, tray spacing are made 0.5-0.6m(20-24 in).
Spacing of trays in T-1203 is 18 in., lower than standard (24 in.)
