Design issues for the skirt base of a 5-meter-diameter container
Thread Content
I need help. I currently have a water storage tank with a diameter of 5 meters; the height of its cylindrical body is 19 meters, and with two end caps added, the total height becomes approximately 21.6 meters. I would like to know how to design the skirt base, as well as what size, quantity, and spacing the bolts should have
Designed in accordance with tower vessel standards.
I recommend taking a close look at these two books.
Calculate it based on the tower-type container, paying attention to seismic and wind loads, and giving due consideration to the effects of temperature differences and pressure changes during operation on the welds connecting the skirt to the equipment.
If the height-to-diameter ratio is less than 5, the design guidelines for tower-type containers can be applied.
First, calculate using SW6, and then design in accordance with SH/T3098 and NB/T47041.
