Regarding **load

How to consider **loads** in container design.
Earthquake load. Are these two words that sensitive?
Are you asking about ground-seismic loads? There are design standards available, but first and foremost, they should all comply with the provisions of GB50011
It’s specified in the design notes for each project, right? It’s usually 6 or 7 degrees
There are differences in the calculations specified in GB50341 and 50011 for tank design; therefore, tank design should follow GB50341
Reply to 3# xjqh: I checked it; GB50011 is the code for seismic design of buildings
Reply to 4# zhousj10: Requirements are generally specified for standard projects, but they aren’t taken into account during the actual design of the equipment; things are just done in a conventional manner. How should small containers and jars be handled? What about transformers and control cabinets?
The applicable scope of general standards specifies this clearly; for equipment with a small height-to-diameter ratio that is installed in areas not prone to earthquakes, seismic design is generally not required. However, for equipment such as towers that has seismic resistance requirements, thorough calculations must be carried out.
Reply to 7# VINELI: In my opinion, the key factors are the height-to-diameter ratio and the seismic design intensity; if there are concerns regarding small devices, it is possible to conduct checks by performing force calculations.
