I seek advice from experts on tank design and steel silo design; experts, please respond
Thread Content
I would like to ask an expert a question regarding design: It is a vertical storage tank used for storing sand, with a density of 1.8. The diameter of the tank is 19 meters and its height is 20 meters. The tank walls are constructed using 10 layers of steel plates, each 2 meters wide. Reinforcement is provided for the transverse seams on the outside of the tank walls using 14A channel steel. The owner prefers a cost-effective solution – what thickness should each layer of steel plate have? What type of steel should be used? Is it necessary to add vertical rebar inside the tank? I would be extremely grateful for any professional advice
Circumferential stress is the primary factor; it is sufficient to ensure an adequate weld strength, while the rest is reinforced by channel steel
I’m not in the design field, but the tanks with those specifications seem quite mysterious. It is recommended to refer to the tank design of cement plants. They use two layers of steel plates, with concrete poured in between.
The spreadsheet downloaded from Baidu does not include reinforcement of 9 mm (material control) – 8 mm (material control); there are 8 layers with 7 mm each, and the design value for wind pressure is 0.5 Kpa; therefore, an additional corrosion margin is required； Horizontal reinforcement bars are required when the top 4 layers are <7mm. You work in oil tanks, so you must know people who are experts in this field; make sure the tank doesn’t overfill or get under pressure
I think NB/T 47003.2—2009 \"Solid Silos\" is relevant for this purpose
There should be standard atlases! Get on the loader?
Just calculate it using the equivalent hydrostatic pressure of a liquid column……
The computational pressure for different layers is calculated based on height
