How is the foundation ring plate of the tower skirt calculated, as it is a single piece of plate?
Thread Content
Please ask an expert to help solve this. The base ring plate is a single piece of metal that is directly connected to the tower body. The liquid level height in the tower is 5m. Is it necessary to verify the base plate based on the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column? This tower equipment is a atmospheric pressure vessel.
It is at normal pressure and in communication with the atmosphere; the base plate is placed on a flat foundation, and it is naturally reinforced, so generally no calculations are required, right?
I don’t know; it seems reasonable what was said above
So, when calculating the foundation bolts, how should the inner diameter of the ring plate be determined?
If 0 is chosen, the calculated foundation bolts will be extremely large
. . I haven’t considered this issue. Why is a whole plate used for the skirt base? Wasting material! If you say that the base ring plate is directly connected to the tower body, then this can be regarded as a flat-bottomed device. Refer to the calculations for flat-bottomed storage tanks, but I’m not sure if my understanding is correct
