N) SC.l.2.3 Platforms (Refer to Figure 3.5)

The platform at EI. 150 Gust above the top of the vessel) is a square platform 12 ft. x
12 ft. in plan with handrail around the perimeter. It is assumed that the platform structural
framing will be 8-inches deep (8"/12" = 0.70 sq. ft.l1in. ft.).

Therefore, Ae (plat. fram.) = 0.7 x 12 = 8.4 ft2


>n
Ae (front handrail) = 0.8 x 12 = 9.6 ft. 2 (Table 4.1)
Ae (back handrail) = 0.8 x 12 = 9.6 ft2 (Section 4.3.1.3)
27.6 ft2 (2.56 m2)

qz= 58.3 psf (Table 5.1)

G=0.85 (ASCE 7, Section 6.6.1)

Cr = 2.0 (Section 4.3.1.3)

F = qzGCr Ae = 58.3 x 0.85 x 2.0 x 27.6 = 2700 Ibs (12.0 kN)
