Weight of BottomPlate (Uncorroded) = 16672.84 kg = 163.56 KN


Weight of Bottom Plate (Corroded) = 16672.84 kg = 163.56 KN

Low Liquid Level = 0.6 m


Weight of Liquid Due to Min. Liquid Level = 1597 KN

Total Design External Pressure Froce on the bottom Plate = 313 KN

As the sum of force due to total design external pressure is less than the sum of the weights of the bottom plate
and min. liquid level in the tank, membrane stresses need not be evaluated (As per V.9.1 of API 650).
4) INTERMEDIATE WIND GIRDER (API 650 Sec. 3.9.7)
The maximum height of the unstiffened shell shall be calculated as follows:

H1 = 9.47 t (t / D)3/2 * (190/V)2


As ordered thickness of top shell course (mm) t = 6.00 mm
Nominal tank diameter (m) D = 20.915 m
Design wind speed V = 155 Km/hr

Maximum height of the unstiffened shell H1 = 13.12 m

The reduction/modification factor calculated (As per S.3.6.7) RF = 0.9793

Maximum height of the unstiffened shell (Modified ) H1 = 12.85 m

Height of Transformed Shell (API 650 Sec. 3.9.7.2)


Transposed width of each shell course Wtr = W x (tuniform/tactual)5/2
Where,
W = Actual width of each shell course (mm)
tuniform = As ordered thickness of top shell course = 6.00 mm
tactual = As ordered thickness of shell course for which transposed width is being calculated (mm)

1st Shell Course


Thickness of 1st course t1 = 15.00 mm
Wtr1 = W1 x (ttop/t1)5/2 Wtr1 = 202.4 mm

2nd Shell Course


Thickness of 2nd course t2 = 14.00 mm
Wtr2 = W2 x (ttop/t2)5/2 Wtr2 = 240.5 mm

3rd Shell Course .


Thickness of 3rd course t3 = 12.00 mm
Wtr3 = W3 x (ttop/t3)5/2 Wtr3 = 353.6 mm

4th Shell Course


Thickness of 4th course t4 = 10.00 mm
Wtr4 = W4 x (ttop/t4)5/2 Wtr4 = 557.7 mm

5th Shell Course


Thickness of 5th course t5 = 8.00 mm
Wtr5 = W5 x (ttop/t5)5/2 Wtr5 = 974.3 mm

6th Shell Course


Thickness of 6th course t6 = 6.00 mm
Wtr6 = W6 x (ttop/t6)5/2 Wtr6 = 2000.0 mm

7th Shell Course


Thickness of 7th course t7 = 6.00 mm
Wtr7 = W7 x (ttop/t7)5/2 Wtr7 = 2000.0 mm

= 10.33 m

[As Htr < H1, Intermediate Wind Girders are not required]
5) Verification of Unstiffened Shell Against External Pressure (As Per Appendix V of API 650)

For unstiffened shells elastic buckiling will occur if following criterion is satisfied as per V.8.1.1

(D/ts min) ^ 0.75 [ ( Hts /D) x ( Fy / E )^0.5 ] ≥ 0.00675 ( V.8.1.1)

D = Nominal Diameter of Tank, m.


tsmin = Minimum thickness of thinnest shell course, mm .
HTS = Transformed Height of the tank, m.
Fy = Yeild Strength @ Design Temp., MPa.
E = Modulus of elasticity, MPa.

Therefore,
0.0353 > 0.00675

[Elastic buckling criteria is satified]

The design external pressure for an unstiffened tanks shell shall not exceed: (V.8.1.2)

Total design external pressure, Ps

Ps ≤ E
45609 ( HTS / D ) ( D/tsmin) 2.5

Ps ≤ 0.370 KPa (Allowable External Pressure)

Where

Ps = Total Design External Pressure for design of shell, KPa


1) Specified design external pressure excluding wind pressure
Greater of
2) W + 0.4 Pe

W = 0.0000333 ( V )2 x ( Kg ) x ( Kh ) (V.3.1)
Kg = Wind gust factor = 1.1
Kh = Wind height factor = 1.1
So,
W = 0.968 kPa
C1 = Pe = 0.900 kPa
C2 = W + 0.4Pe = 1.328 kPa

Ps = [Greater of C1 and C2] = 1.328 KPa

[As Ps exceeds the allowable external pressure, hence, shell must be stiffened.]

Minimum shell thickness required for a specified design external pressure is (V.8.1.3)

tmin > 73.05 x ( Hts x Ps)0.4 x D0.6


( E )0.4
tmin = 10.005 mm

[The minimum shell thickness provided is not sufficient. Stiffeners are required.]

Maximum spacing of the intermediate stifferners

Hsafe = ( tsmin )2.5 x ( E ) (V.8.2.1.2)


45609 x D1.5 x ( Ps)

tsmin = 6 mm
E = 189000 MPa
D = 20.915 m
Ps = 1.328 kPa

Hsafe = 2.88 m

[Safe height is less than the transformed height, so, stiffeners are required]

Number of intermediate stiffeners required, Ns, based on Hsafe

Ns + 1 = HTS / Hsafe (V.8.2.1.3)


Ns + 1 = 3.59
Ns = 2.59

Therefore, number of intermediate stiffener(s) required, Ns = 3

Spacing of intermediate stiffeners on transformed shell

Spacing = HTS / ( Ns + 1) (V.8.2.1.4)


= 2.58 m

Intermediate Stiffener Ring Design

Number of buckling waves, N

N2 = SQRT (( 455x D3) / (tsmin x HTS2)) ≤ 100 (V.8.2.2.1)


= 80.65 ≤ 100 [Satisfactory]

N = 8.98 ~ 10

Maximum spacing, Ls on minimum shell thickness, tsmin, = HTS / (Ns + 1)

Lsmax = HTS / ( Ns + 1) (V.8.2.2.2)


2.58 m

Locate 1st Stiffener on 6 mm Shell at spacing = 2.58 m From Top


Locate 2nd Stiffener on 6 mm Shell at spacing = 5.16 m From Top
Locate 3rd Stiffener on 6 mm Shell at spacing = 7.75 m From Top

Radial load imposed on the stiffener by the shell, Q = 1000 x Ps x Ls

Q = 1000 x Ps x Ls (V.8.2.2.3)
= 3429 N/m
Required Moment of Inertia, Ireq'd = ( 37.5 Q D3 ) / ( E ( N2 - 1 ) )

The actual moment of inertia of the intermediate stiffener ring region will consist of the combined moment of inertia of the
intermediate stiffener and the shell within a contributing distance on each side of the intermediate stiffener.

Shell Contribution

wshell = 13.4 x SQRT( D x tshell ) (V.8.2.2.4)


wshell = 2 x 13.4 x SQRT( D x tshell ) For both sides
= 300.22 mm
where
tshell = actual thickness of the shell plate on which the stiffener is located.

Required moment of inertia of stiffener

Ireq'd = (37.5 Q D3 ) / ( E ( N2 - 1 ) ) (V.8.2.2.5)


= 78.2 cm4
= 781561 mm4

Required Cross-Sectional Area of the Intermediate Stiffener, Areq'd = ( Q D ) / ( 2 fc ) (V.8.2.2.6)

Areq'd = ( Q D ) / ( 2 fc ) (V.8.2.2.6.1)

where
fc = smallest of the allowable compressive stresses of the roof , shell, bottom or stiffener ring material at design temperature
fc = 0.4 x Fy for intermediate stiffing regions but not less than 103 MPa.
= 100 MPa
Use fc = 103 MPa

Areq'd = 348.16 mm2

Required Cross-Sectional Area of the Intermediate Stiffener Structural Shape, Astiff = Areq'd - 26.84 tshell SQRT ( D tshell )

Astiff = Areq'd - 26.84 tshell SQRT ( D tshell ) (V.8.2.2.6.2)


= -1456 mm2
The negative sign shows that the stiffening provided by the shell alone is sufficient and no additional structural shape is required.
But, as per API 650, Appendix V, Clause V.8.2.2.6.2, Astiff must be greater than or equal to 0.5 Areq'd.
So,

Astiff = 0.5 x Areq'd


Astiff = 174.08 mm2

Provided Stiffener

L 90 mm 90 mm 6 mm

Ireq'd = 825869 mm4 [The provided moment of inertia is satisfactory]


Astiff = 1044 mm2 [The provided area is satisfactory]
6) Design Of Roof Plate

Self Supported Externally Stiffened Conical Roof As Per API 650, Sec. 3.10.5

To avoid the higher thickness of roof plate, the roof is being designed as externally stiffeneed conical roof.
As the design of this type of roof is not directly addressed in API 650 due to its unconventional nature, therefore,
the roof design is carried out on FEA based engineering software STAAD PRO 2007.

Used Thickness = 6 mm
Corroded Thickness = 6 mm
Stiffening Members = W10x19
Quantity Inner Ring = 40 Nos.
Outer Ring = 20 Nos.
Intermediate Ring = 1 Nos.

Weight of Roof Plate (Uncorroded) = 164.23 KN (Based on used thickness)


Weight of Roof Plate (Corroded) = 164.23 KN

Estimated weight of the stiffeners for the roof structure = 100 KN


Total roof weight including stiffeners = 264.23 KN

6.1) Compression Area Verification Against external Pressure (As calculated above ) (As per Appendix V of API 650)

As per Appendix "R", greater of the following Two combinations:

T1 = DL + (Lr or S) + 0.4 Pe
Greater of
T2 = DL + Pe + 0.4 (Lr or S)

Dead Load *DL = 0.915 KPa


Roof Live Load Lr = 1.2 KPa
External Pressure Pe = 0.900 KPa
Snow Load S = 0.000 KPa
Combination # 1 T1 = 2.475 KPa
Combination # 2 T2 = 2.295 KPa

Pr = 2.475 KPa Max [ T1 , T2 ]

*Based on 6 mm thick roof plate + attachments + stiffeners


Required participating area in the cone roof to shell joint region for external pressure is: V.7.2.2

Ar = 125 * Pr * D2 / (f * tan θ)
Ar = 6154 mm2

Length of Cone Roof participating in Compression Region (based on provided thickened plate) V.7.2.3

Xcone = 13.4 x {( D tcone) / sinӨ)}0.5


Xcone = 741 mm Based on 24 mm Thk. Compression Plate

Length of Shell participating in Compresion Area V.7.2.3

Xshell = 13.4 x ( D x ts1 ) 0.5

Xshell = 300 mm Based on 24 mm Thk. Compression Plate

So, total provided compression area

A = Acompression plate + Ashell


= (Xroof x troof compression plate) + (Xshell x tshell compression plate)
= 24978 mm2

[Provided compression area is adequate]

6.2 ) Compression Area Verification againt Internal Pressure (As per 3.10.5.2)

Ar = 6932 mm2

Ar = 7063 mm2 (After Modifying with factor 1.019 as per S.3.6.6)

wh = 0.3 x (R2 x th)0.5


R2 = Rc = 63580 mm
Sin
wh = 371 mm Based on 24 mm Thk. Compression Plate

wc = 0.6 X (Rc X tc)0.5


Rc = Inside Radius of Tank Shell = 10450 mm

wc = 300.48 mm Based on 24 mm Thk. Compression Plate

A = (wh x th) + (wc x tc)


= 16106 mm2

[Provided compression area is adequate]

7) TANK VERIFICATION AS PER APPENDIX F


Corroded weight of shell = 856 kN
Corroded weight of roof = 264 kN
Corroded weight of Compression Ring & Plate = 85 kN
Corroded weight of attachments = 150 kN
Total weight of shell, roof & attachments = 1355 kN

Net Uplift = Internal Pressure - (Corroded Weight of Roof, Shell, Curb Angle & Attachments)
= 1372.28 - 1354.96
= 17.32 KN

[Anchorage must be provided against internal pressure and F.7 is applicable]

Unanchored tanks shall satisfy both of the following criterias:

Case 1: 0.6Mw + MPi < MDL / 1.5


Case 2: Mw + 0.4MPi < ( MDL + MF ) / 2

Mw = P1xH/2

Vf = (V/190)2 = 0.666 (Vf = Velocity Factor)

Wind Presure on vertical plane surfaces = 0.86 kN/m2 (API 650, Chapter 3, Clause 3.2.1 (f))

Wind Presure on vertical conical surfaces = 1.44 kN/m2 (API 650, Chapter 3, Clause 3.2.1 (f))

Projected area of roof = 18.25 m2


Projected area of shell = 376.74 m2

TOP PLATE
Critical stress in the top plate occurs between the hole and the free edge of the plate. For convenience
we can consider this portion of the top plate as a beam with partially fixed ends, with a protion
of the total anchor bolt load distributed along part of the span. See figure:
Using above philosophy, thickness of top plate can be calculated with the help of following expression:

The thickness of top plate has been calculated based on 25 ksi stress value.

using the following expression:

S= 11.56 ksi 79.72 MPa [Satisfactory]

MAXIMUM STRESS IN SHELL


Chair must be high enough to distribute anchor bolt load to shell without overstressing it. The difficulty lies in
the bending caused by eccentricity of the anchor bolt with respect the shell. Except for the case where a
continuous ring is used at the top of chairs, maximum stress occurs in the vertical direction and is a
combination of bending plus direct stress. Formula which follow are approximations, based on the work
of Bjilaard.
Hence, maximum stress (i.e., a combination of bending plus direct stress) in vertical direction can be
evaluated using following expression:

S= 15.98 ksi 110.17 MPa [Satisfactory]


Maximum recommended stress is 25 ksi.
This is a local stress occuring just above the top of the chair, a higher than normal stress is justified but an
increase for temporary loads, such as earthquake or wind is not recommended

Assembly of Chair

For field erected structures, ship either the top plate or the entire chair loose for installation after the
structure is sitting over the anchor bolts.

Where base plate is welded to the shell in the shop, attach side plates in the shop and ship top plate loose
for field assembly.
Where base or bottom plate is not welded to shell in the shop, as for flat bottom tanks, shop attach side
plates to top plates and then ship the assembly for field installation.When you do this, weld both sides at
top of side plates so shrinkage will not pull side plate out of square. See figure:

WELDING
Welds between chair and shell must be strong enough to transmit load to shell. 1/4 in. minimum fillet welds
are nearly adequate, but should be checked if a large anchor bolt with a low chair height has been provided.
Seal welding may be desired for application in corrosive environments.

8.2) Roof Design

As this type of roof design is not directly addresses by API-620 due to its unconventional nature.
Due to this reason the elastic analysis of the roof needs to be performed to verify the induced
stresses for the conformance of roof reliability and strength. The comparison provided in the
analysis is based on Von Mises stresses which should be compared with material yield stress
as specified in table 5-1 and table 5-3 of API 620 whereas the compression area calculations
are provided based on art. 5.12.4 which have already been considered in our analysis.
