II.1.4 Vertical Stiffener

Maximum bending moment at Hy = 0.5774*amax = 288.70 mm

(Pg. 272 Adding vertical stiffner - Dist. For maxmium
bending moment)

Maximum bending moment: (Ref: Formula No.-16 of Ch. 13 -Design Of Rectangular Tank )
Mmax = 0.0642*Pd*b*Hy2 = 0.06 kNm
Required section modulus:
Zr = Mmax/Sa = 5.27E-07 mm3
= 0.53 cm3
Section modulus of used stiffener (angle 50x50x6):
Z = 3.61 cm3
Therefore, Vertical stiffener is satisfactory

Vertical length without reinforced a: 750 mm

Horizontal length without reinforced b: 467 mm
Ratio, a/b : 1.61
α = 0.0906
β = 0.5172

Required thickness (Formula No.-3 of Ch. 13 -Design Of Rectangular Tank)

tr = Sqrt(β*Pd*b2)/Sb) + C.A = 5.62 mm
Adopted thickness ta : 6.00 mm
Maximum deflection (Formula No.-4 of Ch. 13 -Design Of Rectangular Tank)
Ymax = α*Pd*b4/(E*ta3) = 2.24 mm
Ymax < 1/2 ta (Last para. Of Design Procedure w/o stiffner, Ch. 13
2.24mm < 3mm -Design Of Rectangular Tank)
Therefore, adopted thickness is satisfactory

II.2.2 Top Edge Stiffener

Ref: Formula No.-12 & 14 of Ch. 13 -Design Of Rectangular Tank

R1 = 0.03*Pd*a = 0.48 kN/m

R2 = 0.32*Pd*a = 5.11 kN/m

Moment inertia required: (Ref: Formula No.-9 of Ch. 13 -Design Of Rectangular Tank )
Jmin = R1*b4/(192*E*ta) = 104.32 mm4
= 0.0104 cm4
Moment inertia of used stiffener (angle 50x50x6):
Jx = Jy = 12.8 cm4
Therefore, Top edge stiffener is satisfactory
