20 Anchor Chairs Geometry SI unit Corroded Dimension
21 Height (max. 3*a) h = 300 mm = 11.81 in OK!
22 Top plate width at front a = 200 mm = 7.87 in
23 Top plate width at side = 120 mm = 4.72 in
24 Thickness of gusset tg = 25 mm = 0.98 in
25 Anchor bolt diameter d = 24 mm = 0.94 in
26 Thickness of top plate c = 25 mm = 0.98 in
27 Baseplate thickness m = 25 mm = 0.98 in
28 Anchor bolt Ecc. (e min=0.866d+0.572) e = 40 mm = 1.57 in OK!
29 side top plate to edge of hole (fmin=0.5d+0.375) f = 60 mm = 2.36 in OK!
30 Distance in between vertical plate g = 150 mm = 5.91 in
31 h-c/2 = 137.5 mm = 5.41 in
32 Width of gusset @ middle K = 55 mm = 2.17 in
33 Mean radius of shell Rm = 8500 mm = 334.65 in
34 Thickness of shell (Corroded) t1 = 6 mm = 0.24 in
35 Yiled Strength Sy = 248.22 Mpa = 36,000.0 psi

48 Compressive stress on top plate σc = M / Z

49 = ( P [g/2 - d/π)/8 ) / (fc2/6)
50 = 17,209.51 = 118.66 Mpa
51 Allowable Stress (0.67Sy) Sall = 24,120.00 = SAFE!
52 Ratio = 0.71
53 2 Check localized stress on shell above the anchor chair
54 a. Maximum local stress occurs at thickness of shell Compression) due to maximum load reaction distributed from
55 chairs to shell. (Using Bjilard "Stress from local loadings in Cylindrical Pressure Vessel"
56 b. Height of affected section in plate as per Pressure vessel by Moss (32*t1+c) = 8.543 in
57 σ = ( P * e / t2 )* [ ( 1.32 *Z / A ) + B ]
58 Factor A = ( 1.43 * a * h2 / R * t )+( 4 * a * h2 )0.333 )
59 = 36.203
60 Factor B = 0.031 / ( R * t )0.50
61 = 0.003486666
62 Reduction Factor Z = 1 / [ (0.177 * a * m) / ( R * t )0.50 * ( m / t )2 + 1.0 ]
63 = 0.422
64 therefore, substitute to equation σ = 10,546.36 psi = 72.72 Mpa
65

66 c. Using Pressure Vessel by Moss model as skirt for which the chair is attached by welding
67 Reduction Factor Z = 1 / [ (1.177 * a * m) / ( R * t )0.50 * ( m / t )2 + 1.0 ]
68 = 0.241
69 therefore, substitute to equation σ = 6,858.59 psi = 47.29 Mpa

71 Calculate the maximum Longitudinal Tensile Stress at shell and anchor chair section
72 1 Calculate the maximum stress due to Maximum moment at the base (Tensile)
73 2 Calculate the maximum stress due to axial weight (Compressive)
74 3 Calculate the local stress due to chair reaction (Compressive)
75 4 Summation stress for item ( 1 to 3 )
76 5 Acceptance: When item 4 is less than the allowable stress
77
78 3 Calculate the strength of weld of anchor chair to shell
79 a. Assume: Anchor chair directly welded on shell plate (No reinforcing pad)
80 b. Pad for anchor is not included but the reaction in gusset to anchor chair which the amount of load transmitted from anchor bolts
81 that cause the local compressive stress on shell plate)
82 Leg Size L = 0.24 in = 6.00 mm
83 ( a + 2 * h) = 31.50 in Length of weld in tension (Vertical)
84 = 5.26 in2 Area of weld in tension (Horizontal)
85 Wv = 628.65 Lb / in Vertical Load carried by Load
86 σv = 3,764 psi Stress on weld at vertical loading
87
88 ( a * h + 0.667 * h2) / e = 118.14 in Length of weld in tension (Horizontal)
89 = 19.73 in2 Area of weld in tension (Horizontal)
90 Wh = 167.60 Lb / in Horizontal load carried by weld
91 σh = 1,004 psi Stress on weld at horizontal loading
92

93 W = ( Wv2 + Wh2 )0.50

94 = 650.607 Lb / in Total load carried by weld
95 σt = ( σv2 + σh2 )0.50 Total weld stress
96 = 3,895.67 psi = SAFE!
97 σw-all = 13,343 psi = 92.00 Mpa
98 Ratio = 0.292
99 3 Calculate the strength of weld of anchor chair to shell (with Pad)
100 a. Assume: Anchor chair directly welded on pad then shell plate
101 a. The amount of deposited weld metal between chair elements to secure the shell to the maximum moment and reactions.
102 The quantity of weld should at least the same in using pad or reinforcement for shear and moment forces which the geometry dictates the amount of weld
103 Thickness of pad t2 = 0.24 in = 6.00 mm
104 Pad Length l = 11.02 in = 280.00 mm
105 Pad width w = 5.91 in = 150.00 mm
106 Size of weld in pad = 0.24 in = 6.00 mm
107 Wv = P / ( w + 2 * l) Vertical load carried by weld
