Load calculation For Vessel

Dead Load (empty) lbs

(full of Lng) lbs

Live Load (full of Lng) lbs

each pier: Dead Load lbs

Live Load lbs

Wind Load Vessel Dia = 8.5 ft Height = 40 ft

Force F = p x Af = qz x G x Cf x Af

p: design pressure
qz: at height z above ground
G = 0.85 ( Guest Factor for Exposure C)
Cf = 0.7 (Force Coefficient)
Af: projected area normal to wind

qz = 0.00256 x Kz x Kzt x Kd x V*2 x I

Kz: 1.0 (Velocity Pressure Exposure Coefficient for Exposure C given in Table 6-2))
Kzt = 1.0 (Topographical Factor)
Kd = 1.0 (Directional Factor)
V = 100 mph (Wind Speed)
I = 1.15 (Importance Factor for Ocupance Category III)

qz = 29.44 Kz
