api 650 tank anchor bolts saddle design
hi, is there a recomended method or specification by any rule, to design the saddles in anchored aboveground tanks??
thanks
do you mean saddles supporting a horizontal tank? or anchor bolt chairs on a vertical tank?
sorry i mean anchor bolt chairs on a vertical tank.
thanks.
aisi/ spfa publishes a book called "useful information for the design of steel tanks" or something like that. see if you can locate a copy. it has a design procedure in it. i think some of the vessel handbooks may also have this information.
