ANCHOR CHAIR DESIGN (from AISI 'Steel Plate Engr Data' Dec. 92, Vol.

2, Part VII) Entered Parameters Chair Material: Top Plate Type: Chair Style: a : Top Plate Width b : Top Plate Length k : Verical Plate Width A-36 DISCRETE VERT. STRAIGHT = 5.000 in. = 4.500 in. = 4.500 in.

m : Bottom Plate Thickness = 0.3750 in. t : Shell Course + Repad Thickness = 0.6250 in. r : Nominal Radius to Tank Centerline = 731.688 in.

Design Load per Bolt: P = 53.63 KIPS (1.5 * Maximum from Uplift Cases) d = Bolt Diameter = 1.5 in. n = Threads per unit length = 6 TPI A_s = Computed Bolt Root Area = 0.7854 * (d - 1.3 / n)^2 = 0.7854 * (1.5 - 1.3 / 6)^2 = 1.294 in^2 Bolt Yield Load = A*Sy/1000 (KIPS) = 1.294*36,000/1000 = 46.584 KIPS Seismic Design Bolt Load = Pa = 3*Pab = 106.302 KIPS Anchor Chairs will be designed to withstand Design Load per Bolt.

Anchor Chair Design Load, P = 53.628 KIPS For Anchor Chair material: A-36 Per API-650 Table 5-2b, Sd_Chair = 20 KSI Since bottom t <= 3/8 in., Seismic Zone is a Factor, and Wind Speed is >= 100 mph, h_min is 12 in. For Discrete Top Plate, Max. Chair Height Recommended : h <= 3 * a h_max = 3 * 5 = 15 in.
