Regarding the determination of the diameter and wall thickness of spherical tank supports!
Thread Content
Does anyone know the formulas for calculating the diameter and wall thickness of spherical tank supports, or any example calculations? Indeed, no papers, literature, or standards were found. Some textbooks state that it is determined through strength and load, but the cross-sectional area of the pillar is also required when calculating the load. Xiaobai is indeed a bit anxious; I hope the experts can see this and help Xiaobai out.
Not everything in the design is calculated; first, a diameter and wall thickness are determined, after which the strength and stability are checked to see if they meet the requirements. If so, a suitable choice is made； If it fails the test, adjust the diameter and wall thickness, and recalculate
GB12337 and its interpretations
The explanation includes examples; follow those.
