Wind / Seismic Design for Horizontal Vessels

Variables
Tan-to-tan length L 276 in
Head depth H 12 in
Diameter D 73.25 in De 93.76 in
Dist. Between saddles Ls 144 in
Saddle Projection B 42 in
Saddle Width E 71 in
Operating Weight Wo 76000 lb
Max Load on Saddle P 40000 lb
Wind Speed V 90 mph
Importance Factor I 1.15
Exposure (B, C, or D) B
Shape Factor Cf 0.6

Seismic Zone 1 Cs 0.029

Total Height 8 ft G 0.6 Kz 0.8

Longitudinal Forces:
Seismic
Fls = Cs * Wo
= 2204.000 lbs

Wind
Flw = Afl*Cf*Gh*qz Afl =pi*De^2/4 + (B-De)*E= 3229.43 in^2
= 177.123 lbs qz =0.00256*Kz*(I*V)^2= 21.94 psf
= 0.15 psi

Transverse Forces:
Seismic
Fts = Cs * Wo * 0.5
1102.000 lbs

Wind
Ftw = Aft*Cf*Gh*qz*0.5 Aft =De*(L+2*H)= 28128 in^2
771.364 lbs

Total Saddle Reaction Forces:

Seismic
Q1 = P + Fls*B/Ls Q2 = P + 6*Fts*B/E
40643 lbs 43911 lbs

Qseismic = max(Q1,Q2) = 43,911 lbs

Wind
Q1 = P + Flw*B/Ls Q2 = P + 6*Ftw*B/E
40052 lbs 42738 lbs

Qwind = max(Q1,Q2) = 42,738 lbs

Therefore, use load of Q =43,911 lbs for Zick calculations.
