Dear sea warriors, does the tower skirt base have to be segmented?

:) The upper section uses the same material as the lower head, while the lower section uses Q235-B?
It depends on the material of the tower body: if it’s carbon steel, then there’s no need to divide it into sections; if it’s stainless steel, it’s better to divide it into sections. By the way, Q345R is being used now
The skirt base is made of Q345R, while the ring plates are made of Q235-B
There are towers that are not segmented. Overall carbon steel material
The skirt seat is a supporting component and is not a compression element; Q235B can be used. Segmentation is based on economic considerations to save money. Usually, the upper section uses the same material as the lower head, while the lower section is made of carbon steel. :)These are my personal humble opinions.
The part where the skirt seat connects to the head shall be made of the same material as the head. From an economic perspective, the upper section is usually made of the same material as the head, while the lower section is made of carbon steel. This is generally how it is considered in terms of design.
