【Beginner in Static Equipment】Do you know what the Zick hypothesis is? ? ?
Thread Content
Today I came across a term in a post: the Zick hypothesis for horizontal containers. Do you know what the Zick hypothesis is? ? ? I would like to ask all the experts to share their views
The calculation for horizontal vessels employs the L.P. ZICK method, which is a standard international approach. This method simplifies the horizontal vessel into a double-supported cantilever beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load, and it makes assumptions and simplifications regarding the reaction forces at the saddle sections as well as the distribution of shear stresses, based on experimental results. Therefore, vessels with jackets are not suitable for this standard.
There is a related post on the forum, but it doesn’t provide much information. Who has any introductions to the LP Zick theory? https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-656761-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum)
Therefore, vessels with jackets are not suitable for this standard. Is the loading of horizontal vessels with jackets more complex? ? ?
The flattening effect of horizontal containers. Pay attention to the design position of the saddle
