a) Determine the Load limited allowable unit loading, uL.

u
uL = K
(EQ 2)
where u is UTUS from Table 5.

uL,CSM = 8.91 = 22.45 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.

uL,WR = 8.91 = 28.06 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.
b) Allowable strain, = 0.2%
c) Strain limited allowable unit loading, uS.

uS = Xz

(EQ. 3)
where Xz is the unit modulus from Table 5.

uS,CSM = 14,000 x 0.2/100 = 28.0 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.

uS,WR = 16,000 x 0.2/100 = 32.0 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.
d) Design unit loading Uz.
Since UL < US, then the strain for each layer concerned shall be
determined. (clause 9.2.6 b)
uL

(EQ. 4)

22.45
CSM = 14,000 x 100%

Therefore, the allowable strain, d = 0.16%. (Least of the two values)

The Design unit loading for each layer, uZ, shall be determined from the
formula below:

uZ = Xz d

(EQ. 5)

uZ,CSM = 14,000 x 0.16/100 = 22.40 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.

uZ,WR = 16,000 x 0.16/100 = 25.60 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.
Summary of Design unit loading:
For CSM, uZ,CSM = 22.40 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.
For WR, uZ,WR = 25.60 N/mm per kg/m2 glass.

brought by liquid pressure, wind load and weight should not exceed the Design unit
loads (uZ) of the FRP Laminate, as described in the equation below:

Since from the checking, strength of FRP laminate reinforced with 4 layers of CSM
and 1 layer of Woven Roving with the described mass is greater than the required unit loading
along circumferential and longitudinal direction, therefore the provided thickness of 5mm

Blast Force, FB = 0.03 N/mm2 x 1000mm = 30 N/mm
Combined Wind and Blast, FC = 1.30N/mm + 30 N/mm = 31.30N/mm
Calculate Lateral force due to combined Wind and Blast loads:
P = 31.30N/mm x 1100mm (Ht of Tank) = 34,430 N
Force acting per support = 34,430N / 4 = 8,607.50 N
