Appendix F Design calculation for tank and vessel anchorage
NOTE This appcndix applies only to vertical cylindrical tanks or vcssels where there may be a tendency for the base to lift off its
support.
F.l The design uplift on the anchorage shall take into account the following conditions:
a) hydrostatic head and./or internal pressure;
b) wind overturning pressure;
c) seismic force, notin combination with b), where applicable;
d) weight ofcylindrical shell, roofand associated structure;
e) weight of shell and roof insulation where litted;
0 test pressure (see also note to 39.2).
F.2 The overturning force due to wind loading shall be calculated in accordance with
CP 3:Chapter V-2.
F.3 The anchorage shall be designed to withstand the maximum overturning moment due to wind loads
and other causes. The number and size of anchorage bolts shall be calculated by taking the total resisting
mornent as equal to the maximum overturning moment.
NOTE It is recommended that the number ofanchorege points be a multiple offour, that they be evenly spaced around the diameter
aDd that the spacing should not excced 1 500 mm.
If the contribution to the resisting moments of the tank weight is ignored and if only those bolts on the
windward side ofthe cylinder are assumed to act at the base, then the load per anchor bolt, F (in IV), is
given by:
