DESIGN OF WIND GIRDER

E.1.

DESIGN WIND VELOCITY

The design wind velocity

V =Vb k1 k2 k3=53.00 m/s
=190.8 kmph.

where:Vb=basic wind speed=50 m/s

k1=1.000,k2=1.060 & k3=1.000

Design wind speed = 190.8 kmph as per CL. 5.2.1 k

E.2.

PRIMARY WIND GIRDER (Ref. CL.5.9.6)

Z(reqd)= [D H2]/17(V/190)
=281.95 cm cubed

where:a) D=Tank dia=16.25 m

b) H=Tank ht.=18 m
c) V=Design wind velocity
=190.8 kmph.

Provide primary wind girder 1.100 m below the top of the

Curb Angle,i.e. at E.L. +16.900 M as shown below :-

Now,

I =Moment of inertia =61255.105 cm^4

Z(min)=I/42.221
=1450.82 cm cubed

Z(provided) > Z (reqd.)

Hence O.K.

So,atleast 1 No. secondary wind girder is to be provided.

E.3.3. 1st SECONDARY WIND GIRDER (Ref. CL.5.9.7.6)

Provide 1st S.W.G.on 6th course

at E.L.+12.400 M as shown below.
So,transposed height in between P.W.G.& 1st S.W.G.
=4.500 M < 6.158 M
Z(reqd)= [D H1]/17(V/190)
= 70.488 cm cubed

where:H1=Vertical distance,in m
between the P.W.G & 1st S.W.G.

Now,
I =Moment of inertia
=1023.92 cm^4
Z(min)=I/9.1185
=112.29 cm cubed

Z(provided) > Z (reqd.)

Hence O.K.
Now, cumulative transposed width left
= 10684.16 1100 4500
= 5.084 M < 6.158 M (H1)
So, no further S.W.G. is required.

CALCULATION FOR SPECTRAL ACCELERATION COEFFICIENTS.

The Seismic Use Group is Considered as SUG I as per clause no. E.3.1.
Peak ground acceleration coefficients Sp = 0.16 [ as per IS : 1893 (Part-I)-2002.
H = 12.2 m [ max filling height]
Ss = 2.5 Sp = 2.5 x 0.16 = 0.4 [ E.4.3-1]
Sl = 1.25 Sp = 1.25 x 0.16 = 0.2 [ E.4.3-2]
Site class D as per E.4.4 is considered.

Q = 1.0 [ E.4.6.1 ]
Importance factor I = 1 [ Table E-5]

K = 1.5

So Ai = 0.160 , Ac = 0.11643 , Av = 0

F.2. CALCULATION OF WEIGHTS

Ws = Total weight of tank shell and appurtenances , N

= 29.984 M/T (shell plate)+2.011 M/T(S.W.G+curb angle)+2 M/T(Shell appt)
= 333490.95 N
Wr = Total weight of fixed tank roof including framing knuckles , any permanent attachments and 10%
of the snow load , N = 302411.672 N
Wf = Weight of tank bottom , N = 255961.240 N
H = Maximum design product level = 12.2 m
Wp = Total weight of tank contents based on the design sp. gr. of the product , N
= x 6.252x1.03 x 1000 x 9.81 x 12.2 = 15127806.83 N

Now D/H = 12.5/12.2 = 1.025 < 1.333

Wi = [ 1.0 0.218 D/H ] Wp

= 11747498.39 N
Wc = 0.23 (D/H) tanh (3.67 H/D) Wp

F.3. DESIGN L0ADS [ E.6.1]
Vi = design base shear due to impulsive component from effective wt. of tank and
content , N
= Ai (Ws + Wr + Wf + Wi)
=0.160 (333490.95 + 302411.672 + 255961.240 + 11747498.39)
= 2022297.96 N
Vc = Design base shear due to convective component of the effective sloshing
weight , N

= 0.11643 x 3560863.429 = 414591.329 N
V = total design base shear , N
= Vi2 + Vc2
= 2064358.256 N

F.4. CENTRE OF ACTION FOR RINGWALL OVERTURNING MOMENT [ E.6.1.2.1]

Xi = height from the bottom of the tank shell to the centre of action of the
lateral seismic force related to the impulsive liquid force for ringwall
moment , m
= [ 0.5 - 0.094 D/H] H [ As D/H < 1.3333]
= 4.925 m

Xc = Height from the bottom f the tank shell to the centre of action of
lateral seismic force related to the convective liquid force for ringwall
moment , m
= [1.0 - { cosh(3.67H/D) 1}/ 3.67 (H/D) sinh(3.67H/D) ]H
= 8.978 m
Xr = height from the bottom of the tank shell to the roof and roof
appurtenances centre of gravity , m
= 12.374 m
Xs = Height from the bottom of the tank shell to the shells centre of
gravity , m
= 5.417 m
F.5. OVERTURNING MOMENT [ Cl. No. E.6.1.2.1]
Mrw =[Ai(WiXi + WsXs + WrXr]2 + [Ac(WcXc)]2

F.6. CHECK FOR OVERTURNING

ta = thickness , excluding CA , mm of the bottom annulus under the shell required

to provide the resisting force for self anchorage.

Fy = minimum specified yield strength of bottom annulus , MPa = 260 MPa
Ge = effective sp. Gr. including vertical seismic effect
= G(1 - 0.4 Av) = 1.03 ( 1 - 0.4 x 0) = 1.03

wa = Force resisting uplift in annular region , N/m

= 99ta FyHGe
= 99 x 9 260 x 12.2 x 1.03
= 50928.737 N/m
Again 201.1HDGe = 30667.75
As wa < 201.1HDGe , wa = 62210.689 N/m
wint = calculated design uplift load due to product pressure per unit
cicumferential length , N/m
=0
wrs = Roof load acting on the shell , including 10% of the specified snow
load , N/m.
= 5091.228 N/m
wt = Tank and roof weight acting at base of shell , N/m
= [ ws / x D + wrs ]
= 21958.128 N/m

F.7. ANCHORAGE RATIO , J [ E.6.2.1.1.1]

J = Anchorage ratio = Mrw / D2 [wt (1 0.4 Av) + wa - 0.4 wint]
= 75.764 x 106/ 232 [21958.128 ( 1 - 0.4 x 0) + 62210.689 - 0.4 x 0]
= 1.702 > 1.54
Tank is uplifting , but the tank is stable for the design load providing the shell compression
requirements are satisfied. Tank is self Anchored.

F.8. CHECK FOR SHELL COMPRESSION [ E.6.2.2]

For J > 0.785
c = [ {wt ( 1 + 0.4 Av ) + wa}/{ 0.607 - 0.18667[J]2.3} wa ] 1 / 1000ts
= 21.75 MPa
(GHD2 )/t2 = 1.00 x 17.5 x 16.252 / 122 = 32.09 < 44
So Fc = 83ts/(2.5D) + 7.5sqrt(GH) = 52.82 MPa < 0.5 x 250 ( 125) MPa
As c < Fc & Fc < Fty the tank is stable

F.9. CHECK FOR SLIDING RESISTANCE [ E.7.6]

Assuming friction coefficient , = 0.4
Vs = (Ws + Wr + Wf + Wp)(1.0 0.4Av)
= 0.4 (644520 + 27851 + 149112 + 35604400 ) N = 14570354 N > V= 3348955 N
Hence O.K.

The design wind pressure on vertical projected areas of

Mdl/1.5 = 1785.203/1.5 = 1190.135 T m
As 0.6xMw + Mpi < Mdl/1.5 , anchorage is not required

(Mdl + Mf)/2 = (1785.203 + 3114)/2 = 2449.602 T m
As Mw + 0.4xMpi < (Mdl + Mf)/2 , anchorage is not required
