Technical issues of spherical tanks
Thread Content
Dear experts: I have a question regarding A3 spherical tanks. I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance. The question is as follows: What loads should be taken into consideration in the design of spherical tank supports? How should the effect of these loads be taken into account in the calculation of pillar stress?
The loads considered in the calculation of spherical tank supports include the following: 1. Static load 2. Wind load 3. Seismic load 4. Snow load. For detailed calculations, refer to: 1. Design and Fabrication of Industrial Spherical Tanks by Wang Rendong, page 290; 2. Design and Application of Extra-Large Storage Tanks, edited by Xu Zhijun, 2015 edition. The relevant standards are as follows: SHT 3062-2017 Standard for the Design of Foundations for Petrochemical Spherical Tanks; GB 12337-2014 Steel Spherical Storage Tanks

Does copying and pasting from above make it seem more sophisticated? :lol
The vertical loads on the spherical tank supports include gravity, as well as the horizontal forces and moments generated by translating the maximum bending moment to the tie rods. The vertical loads resulting from the moments, along with those transmitted by the tie rods, all act in the same direction as the gravitational load, and are compressive stresses. In addition, the attached bending moments and eccentric bending moments resulting from the expansion of the spherical tank during normal operation and pressure testing are also taken into account. Finally, when calculating the forces at point a, the number of pillars as well as their diameter have a significant impact on the stress assessment at that point.
No, simple answer: active participation =================== One question: Is the friction force on the base plate of the tank columns considered a load? ? ?
