LOADS ACTING ON ROOF STRUCTURE

Lr Live Load as per § 5.2.1.f,API 650 1.2 kpa

DL Roof plate dead load=8*7.85*0.009806 0.6159 kpa
DLi Roof Insulation dead load: thin*Gin = 0.0 Kg/m² 0 kpa
DLr Total dead load = DL +Dli 0.616 kpa
Pi Internal Pressure ( acting upward ) 0 kpa
Pe External Pressure 0 kpa
Pwr Wind Load on roof plate as per § 5.2.1.k,API 650 1.44 kpa

Load Combination as per clause 5.2.2

Case (c) Wind and Internal Pressure = DLr+ PWr-Fp*Pi

=0.616 + 1.44 - 0.4 * 0 2.056 kpa
Case(d) Wind and External Pressure = DLr+ PWr+Fpe*Pe
=0.616 + 1.44 + 0.4 * 0 2.056 kpa
Case(e) Gravity Loads:
(e1) DLr+Lr + Fpe*Pe = 0.616+1.2+ 0.4 * 0 1.816 kpa
(e2) DLr+Pe + 0.4*Lr = 0.616+0+ 0.4 * 1.2 1.096 kpa
Max( e1,e2) 1.816 kpa
p Total external pressure action on roof structure
Max (Case ( c ),Case ( d ),Case ( e )) 2.056 kpa

MAX. RAFTER SPACING CALCULATION AS PER 5.10.4.4

Roof Plate Material AS3678-250

Fy Yield strength of roof material 280 Mpa
t Corroded roof plate thickness = tr-Car 6.4 mm
p Uniform pressure as per 5.2.2 = 2.056 /1000 = 0.0021 Mpa
b Max. rafter spacing as per § 5.10.4.4,API 650
Min [t*(1.5*Fy/p)^0.5,2100]
Min [(6.4*(1.5*280/0.00206)^0.5,2100)]= Min [(2889.822,2100)] 2100 mm

N Nos of rafters 8 Nos

D Tank Inside diameter 5000 mm
ba Actual spacing = π*D/N =π *5000/8 1963.5 mm

As ba < br,Porvided nos of rafters are ok.
