    This document calculates the thickness required for the wall plates of a rectangular water tank. It provides the tank dimensions and material properties. It then calculates the pressure at the bottom of the tank due to the water weight. Using the pressure and tank dimensions, it determines the maximum deflection and bending stress at the tank center would be. By comparing these values to the allowable limits, it confirms that a 6mm plate thickness is satisfactory.

    Rectangular Tank
    .

    Wall Plate Thickness Calculation

    Tank Height, H = 1547 mm


    Density, ρliquid = 1200 kg/m^3
    Rectangular Tank Size: Width: 1067 mm Depth: 1547 mm Lenght: 1219 mm (Dimension is based on
    external surface of shell tank.)

    Design Pressure: Positive (kPag ): Full of Water + 5


    p' = 0.05 bar = 5 kPa
    g = 9.81 m/s^2
    E = 2.21E+02 GPa

    Loading, q
    The absoute pressure q at water depth of 1.574 m can be calulated as:
    q = ρ g h + p'
       = (1200 kg/m^3) (9.81 m/s^2) (1.574 m) + (5000 Pa)
       = 23529.13 Pa
       = 23.52913 kPa
       = 0.02352913 MPa
    0.02352913 MPa = 0.02352913 N/mm²

    where
    ρ = 1000 kg/m^3
    g = 9.81 m/s^2

    TABLE 11.4 Formulas for flat plates with straight boundaries and constant thickness
    Case no., shape, and supports
    1. Rectangular plate; all edges simply supported

    R is the reaction force per unit length normal to the plate surface exerted by the boundary support on
    the edge of the plate.
    E modulus of elasticity should also be specified in MPa and deflections output will be in mm. The
    modulus of elasticity of Carbon Steel is approximately 207 GPa = 207 x 10^9 Pa = 207 x 10^9 N/m^2.

    As per Table 26 Case No.1a Chapter 10 of Roark's


    Rectangular plate, all edges simply supported, with uniform loads over entire plate.
    a = 305 mm
    b = 387 mm
    a/b = 0.7881
    β = 0.2265
    α = 0.0350
    ɣ = 0.3310

    At Center,
    Maximum Deflection, δ
    δ = -(α . q . b^4) / (E . t^3)
    δ = -(0.0350 . q . b^4) / (E . t^3)
    δ = -0.44
    δ = 0.44 mm < t/2 then O.K

    Maximum Bending stress, σ


    σ = (β . q . b^2) / t^2
    σ = (0.2265 x 0.02352913 x 387^2) / 6^2
    σ = 22.17 MPa < σallowable 104 MPa. then OK
    Material = SA 240 GR 316L
    Yield Stress, σy = 157.0 MPa
    Stress Ratio, σ/σy
    σ/σy = 22.17 / 157
    σ/σy = 0.14
    At center of long side,
    Maximum reaction force per unit length normal to the plate surface, R
    R=ɣ.q.b
    R = 0.3310 x 0.02352913 x 387
    R = 16.97 lb/in
    R = 1917.85 N/mm
    R = 1917.8 5MPa

    Plate Thickness = 6 mm is satisfactory

    How did you come to the conclusion that 6mm was satisfactory?
