REMARK : Let all 'Wtr' equal to zero for 'negative' t.corr

Since H1 > H2 , therefore an intermediate wind girder is not required.

No of Wind Girder required = H2 / H1 = 0.0

5.2 WIND FORCE CALCULATIONS

The wind loading shall be determined as follows : -
H = P.A.C.I N
where
P = Wind dynamic pressure ( N/m² ) = 900

Cr = Shape factor for roof = 0.75

Cs = Shape factor for shell = 0.75

Ar = Projected area of roof ( = 0.5.Di.Hr ) = 0.5 m²

As = Projected area of shell ( = Di.Hs ) = 6.6 m²

I = Appurtenances = 1.18

Total wind load exerted on roof, Fr = 373 N

Total wind load exerted on shell, Fs = 5,278 N

Total wind moment on tank, Mwind ( = Fr.Lr + Fs.Ls ) = 9.28E+06 Nmm

6.0 TANK STABILITY AGAINST WIND LOADING

6.1 CASE 1 - EMPTY CONDITION
Resistance to overturning moment,
Mres. = 0.5Di.( Wt - 0.25 p Di².Pi ) = -1.07E+08 Nmm

Safety factor, Sa ( = Mres./Mwind ) = 11.48

> 1.50
Since Sa > 1.5, therefore the tank is structurally
stable. Tank anchorage is not required.

6.2 CASE 2 - OPERATING CONDITION

Resistance to overturning moment,
Mres. = 0.5Di.( Wt + Ww - 0.25 p Di².Pi ) = -1.04E+08 Nmm

Safety factor, Sa ( = Mres./Mwind ) = 11.26

> 1.50
Since Sa > 1.5, therefore the tank is structurally
stable. Tank anchorage is not required.
